FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission" as agents searched the home of ex-Trump advisor John Bolton in Maryland.
Bolton became his opposition after Trump’s first term. They aren’t going straight to executions, but they are starting to take action on the dissenters.
Interesting. The Purges are starting from the inside, this time.
This time?

It took Hitler 1 year to get there. And he had already hunted down the opposition.
Trump has been there for 7 months and hasn’t sent any prominent members of the opposition to jail AFAIK.
There were plenty in the first term. Remember The Mooch lasting just a few days?
To be completely honest, I lost track 😅
There were many shenanigans. They were more ready this time but still not quite there.
But large amounts of the American population have been Nazi-adjecent at the very least since its conception…

Ok. So, same as usual, I guess 🤷
This is how fasicsm fails, they turn on everyone until no one is left.
Or how it consolidates under a more unified ideology. E.g. the Nazis purging the SA during the Night of the Long Knives.
In the short term sure, but they keep going and replacing anyone competent with yes men.
Depending on what example you’re looking at, that “short-term” can be anywhere from years to decades.
And those years can be filled with wars.
That’s why we have to fight it.
One must be careful to not go after those who may have connections to remedy the problem.
Lets hope!
To encourage the others.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that spelled out in English! Bravo.
Bolton has been to the “outside” of Trump for some time. This is a case of the administration going after enemies.
Thanks for the information. So the purges start with the dissidents, as usual 🤦🏻♂️
YES! That’s the takeaway here. It’s not like Trump turned on an ally.
