I do not regret voting for Trump. It sent a message, twice. Otherwise we wouldn't be seeing the absofuckinglutely insane crackdown we are seeing.

Just because it's insane doesn't mean it was unexpected. If a crazy person said Satan told them to jump out the window it wouldn't surprise you if you knew they were crazy.

Terrible analogy and misses the point. To think that this "insane" lockdown is because of Donald means that otherwise you weren't expecting it. It is true that insane and unexpected are not the same by definition, I'll give you that, but the way OP and many others on this site are acting like this is because on Donald means it is unexpected for them. Hell they thought Donald was going to win and on top of that they thought it would have made a difference. So for those people it is unexpected no matter what words they want to put to it.

I never said it was because of Donald, I said it was because we sent a big message that scared them. If people had voted for Hillary en masse, i.e. went with the program, do you believe the crackdowns would be as hard?

They might not be as blatant but in the end the result would be the same. They would of came up with another excuse, something else would of happened, another false flag, etc., that would of gave them a reason to do exactly the same things they are doing now. Demonizing the other side to legitimize something is not new. The only thing that's new that instead of fighting "terrorist" overseas it's fighting "domestic terrorism". Which again we all saw coming and had nothing to do with Donald being president.
