Trump supporters are now starting to organize and create their own version of what looks like a “watered down” Gestapo.
They’re calling themselves the “Lions of Trump.
They are recruiting White individuals in states and cities that are presumed to be Republican leaning.
Please be careful. If you or anyone you know will be going to protests or are planning a protest, PLEASE FIND MORE SECURE WAYS TO SPREAD INFORMATION.
It scares me that I am advising you to organize in secret because this is EXACTLY what happened in Nazi Germany 60 years ago.
Please, please be careful. We don’t know the extent that these people will go to to try and uphold their skewed understanding of democracy and nationalism.
The United States is safe for us. Checks and balances. The Bill of Rights. But what’s a Bill of Rights without an impartial judiciary to enforce it? What are due process and equal protection without a court order that people actually comply with? Nothing. Abstract principles, nice on paper, meaningless in reality. Hundreds of judges will soon be appointed by a man who said Judge Curiel couldn’t rule on his case because he’s “Mexican.” What kind of judges does that man appoint?Judges who support his agenda, not the rule of law. Judges with no particular interest in protecting people like me.
Every week, the threats roll in. They know where I live, they say. Trump wants people like me gone. Dead. They tell me how they’ll do it. It’s always with a gun. Liberal gay Jews don’t have a place in the new order, they explain. Sometimes it’s almost nonchalant. People like me, they say, just don’t have a place in Trump’s America. Faggot, kike—I’d never heard those words directed at me before this election. Now I see them all the time. They have a place in Trump’s America.
This is a plea to those in the US on tumblr about election night:
If you can, please, for your own safety, stay home.
Regardless of who wins, there will be violence.
If Hillary wins, then all the violence Trump has been encouraging will come to a head. His supporters have already said they believe the system is rigged, and there is a growing movement to “take up arms” and “fight back” if Trump loses. This is especially important for those of you in smaller, more rural, white-dominated communities. Trump supporters are plenty there, and as someone who lives in one, I can tell you the chances of people having guns on hand are very high.
If Trump wins, then all of his ideas about “law and order” being enforced by self-policing neighborhoods and his terrifying ideas of vigilantism being an acceptable form of law enforcement could come to fruition. People will most likely be protesting if he wins, and there is a heavy chance that Trump supporters may decide to shut these protests down with violence. They may decide to get a jump start on kicking people out of America. They may decide to commit hate crimes because Trump being elected reinforces their belief that violent rhetoric and actions against minorities is acceptable.
This is not an exaggeration. There will be violence on Tuesday night. There will be hate crimes. There will be people hurt. Do absolutely everything you can to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
Sound extreme? Well, listen up.
I want to stress something to everyone on tumblr who is voting for the first time, or is too young to remember previous elections: the violent rhetoric around this election is NOT NORMAL.
Previous elections have never had this strong of a group of people declaring they’ll secede if their candidate loses. Previous elections have never had violence encouraged and stoked by a presidential candidate. Previous elections have never been this tense, this scary, this pivotal.
This election has been violent, and the results on Tuesday night will either push Trump supporters into thinking their violence is acceptable, or push them into fighting back against what they see as a “rigged system”.
Either way, please look after yourself Tuesday night, especially if you are a minority and/or live in a conservative, white-dominated community.
Please reblog this so everyone can see it. I never ask for reblogs, but this is extremely important for people in the U.S.
Sorry I know that this is not blog related at all but I just want you all to be warned as I know a lot of you are from the US.
Don’t forget to go to vote but most of all. Stay safe.
Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.
It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.
Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.
The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.
North Miami police have not released much information at
all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update
on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of
this investigation.

what the fuck? you shoot a unarmed man, hands up, lying on the ground, not even giving you lip, and all you have to fucking say is “i dont know”???? im so pissed off that this would never happen to me because im white. im pissed off white killers are treated to hamburgers while peaceful, unarmed, compliant black people are being shot and/or killed simply because the officer felt like it. not even felt like it. he didnt know. HE DIDNT FUCKING KNOW??? HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW??? IF YOU SHOOT SOMEONE AND YOU CANT EVEN THINK OF A REASON WHY, YOU SHOULDNT BE WITHIN FIFTY FUCKING MILES OF A GUN.

When folks ask why I hate the British….
What?! Omg I didn’t know
Just remember that this man is praised as a hero in England and in most history textbooks. This is what we mean when we say that we are only being taught one side of history
