“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.

Motherfucker wants a police state, but one he and his buddies are totally not accountable in, fuck this geriatric wannabe dictator.
- Of all the 60+ million people who intend to vote for him next year, this ridiculous rhwtoric will dissuade exactly none of them.
  Meanwhile the left needs to be cajoled and won over and made to feel special just to get them to the fucking polling station.
  
  BuT BiDeN nEeDs To EaRn My VoTe!
  If we manage to avoid a fascist takeover, it will be in spite of the naive progressive idealogues who think they have the privilege to vote their conscience.
  
  Get better messaging, then. Screaming at them ain't gonna work.
  Scream at me for pointing it out. It beats trying to get votes.
  (I'm voting for Biden. "Not Trump" has convinced me. It won't convince all the voters you'll need to win, and you'd rather lose than stop punching left.)
  
  It's easy, the Right are fanatics doing fanatic things, the Left haven't had something to be "fanatical" about since Obama, Biden has done a great job for the most part, obviously with some disappointment here and there, no presidency is perfect, but Old man Biden just doesn't excite people, and it's only Trump keeping him running, if Don the Con would go to prison and stop running we'd be able to hopefully elect somebody under 60, and most of those Republican candidates are just as scary as Trump, and bless Chris Christie and Liz Chaney for finally committing political suicide by fighting against the fascism in their party, especially after enabling it for so long.
  
  Both sides actually are bad, just not in the way we assume.
- And Biden is now training that police state with proposed cop cities all across the country.
  
  There is precisely one "Cop City." In Atlanta. And it is not a federal training facility, it's being run by the Atlanta Police Foundation, so I'm not sure why you think Biden has anything to do with it.
  I am very doubtful that the Atlanta Police Foundation even has a lot of Biden voters in its ranks.
I love how the man continues to give reasons to not vote for him every time his mouth opens.
- And yet millions of people still want to vote for him! It's baffling!
  
  That's because they think it'll only apply to "those other people" that they don't like. For example, with police brutality, the white, straight, Christian right thinks the police will only beat "black thugs" so it's perfectly fine in their book.
  
  They want to vote for him because they agree with him.
  It is not baffling in the least.
- He's laying out his fascist plans in a bid to win fascist votes, and his odds are not terrible. His supporters will see how he failed last time and work to correct course next time. This whole police state thing and all his dehumanizing characterization of political opponents and his authoritarian leadership tendencies, align with mainstays of fascist rhetoric. This includes his narrative about domestic political subversion and his vow to suspend the Constitution, as well as his engagement with the QAnon wing of the MAGA movement.

  For us, it's a warning, for them, it's a selling point.
  "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." -Maya Angelou
- Or, and hear me out, reasons to vote for him.
  
  You are everything wrong with this country
Guarantee Trump learned the word "indemnify" right before that speech.
- Just wait until he learns about qualified immunity.
- I had to Google it, not going to lie. It just convinced me even more that he doesn't know the word or that his fan base would.
  It's a simple meaning, I should have come across it a lot by now if it were common language.
"we're gonna get all of the cops nice new uniforms and badges, cool badges with skulls on them, and we'll teach them all to march around the streets and round up all the undesirables!"
How about the capitol police who responded to the January 6th riot? Did he even think the whole statement through?
- Did he even think the whole statement through?
  Come on man, you know the answer to that.
- Nah, doesn't count. Seen all the twisting they've had to pull to not admit the cops weren't on their side? They were anitfa, FBI plants, whateverthefuck. The one thing the capitol police were not, were a bunch of cops doing their job. Because that don't fit the narrative.
  Look at 'em go after the guy that shot Traitor Barbie through the neck. Somehow that was not a legitimate use of force against a mob trying to kill our Congresspeople?!
  
  Imagine explaining to someone in 2016 that by mid 2021 the FBI wouldn't be considered cops by the right.
- "Back the blue! Except those blue."
- Rather like the Watchmen television show.
  
  The Watchmen tv show was set in Tulsa? TIL.
PLEASE TREAD ON ME
- NoOo It'S tHe DeMoCrAtS tHaT aRe ThE fAsCiStS!
  /wrist
This would be setting fire to the first amendment.
Besides freedom of speech, of and from religion, the 1st recognizes our right to get redress from the government for grievance.
The government CAN NOT do whatever they want to us. That rule has been there the whole fucking time.
- If Trump gets another term there won't be a constitution any more.
  
  And you will be assassinated for even mentioning exactly that. No prison. No court.
There's a lot to unpack in this statement, but the short of it is that he's thinking like a terrorist- that the role of police is to instill fear and the thing keeping them from fulfilling it is that they fear being sued. He's telling his supporters that he wants cops to do crimes with impunity
- So pretty much keep the situation as-is? I mean it's really not THAT far off right now.
  
  Yes, dude. Things can indeed get very much worse.
  
  Let's hope he loses and you don't end up eating those words.
  
  This is the problem with ACAB. Losing sight of what worse looks like
  
  He wants them to blatantly mass arrest protesters, commit genocide, etc.
Trump continued:
"And so we can distinguish our brave police who have taken up our indemnification, we've designed a new uniform for them. They will have brown shirts and ties. i like brown, you like brown, everybody loves brown. And we will want a really good name, the best name for our brave Brownshirts. I was thinking something like the Storm Division. What do you think, isn't that the greatest? I think it's the greatest."
- but some pepple dont like division because it divides people. i dont agree but some say this. maybe it can be a team or a squad, like squad cars or storm squad. they can have a cool storm logo with a lightening bolt and use S S for super sexy, because thats what they are.
  
  Only if it uses the cool S
- That sounds too close to Schutzstaffel to me (SS)

  EDIT: I'm not 100% sure that it's not a real Trump quote and am second guessing myself
  
  Nein, es sind völlig getrennte Wörter. Bist du George Orwell /s
Trump and his supporters are so gross.
Alright, so, real talk, this is an appeal directly to the people in police work who are in it for the authority (spoiler: too many, unfortunately), as well as to the asset owning class that depends on the police to keep them from losing their investments or worse. The message being sent is: vote for me, work for me, and you'll be free from accountability.
This nazi fuck needs to be thrown in prison.
- You're way too kind.
Are we the baddies?
- 👩‍🚀 🔫👨‍🚀
Stupid people really do think of the stupidest solutions to problems that don't exist.
The hard thing is hearing it over and over and over again. How many times has this shit already been tried? What was the result? Oh, you don't know? Does that not strike you as phenomenally negligent of a policy maker, to not be aware of the likely results of your fucking actions? Go die, you orange piece of shit. Or win, and take this fucking irreparable democracy with you.
- Bold of you to assume he doesn't know damn well how totalitarian this is.
  
  Honestly, I'm 50/50. He is a controlling rich asshole and knows things like police don't actually affect him, but he's also a bumbling moron. It's kind of hard to tell with him sometimes.
Embracing authoritarianism to own the libs.
- Nah, that's something they'll do just because they love it.
Criminal wants more police brutality. Idiots set to vote for Criminal come november.
Someone should explain qualified immunity to this chucklefuck. What's next, he gonna tell us he would fight a war with no rules so he would win every time?
How brain dead do you have to be to even listen to his ravings let alone follow him and think he is a leader.
It's one thing to claim police brutality isn't that big of an issue. Still wrong, but not uncommon.
It's another thing entirely to somehow be pro-police brutality.
What the fuck?
- This is just the alt-right with masks off.
  
  They haven't had masks for decades, and it's becoming more blatant. Reagan was the beginning of it all, honestly.
  
  Nothing "alt" about it when it's the likely GOP candidate for President next year.
That’ll get him a few more votes from the fence sitting fascists.
Funny how the " law and order group ", doesn't give a damn about the constitution.
I'm not really sure what liberals are all concerned about. Don't they have any faith that they can simply "fix" this inherently fascist institution - oops, sorry, I meant to say "law enforcement" - through "reform" and more "training?"
A promise to indemnify from an individual who is famous for not paying their bills... awesome!!! /s
Wait, is he actually trying to say everything the opposite of what the majority of US citizens want? Like maybe he's actually trying to not win because he doesn't want to be president again. Or this is all a joke to see how evil he can be and still win.
- The opposite of what the majority of US citizens want is often exactly what Republican likely voters want and this is no exception. They want every cop to be Judge Dredd, only more bigoted.
- When it comes to presidents the majority doesn’t matter.
Give me a bottle of CA glue and five minutes of 'private time' with this blowhard.
Problem solved.
- If you use activator you can probably cut that time down.
  
  Ooooh baking soda!
I’m going to be living overseas for family reasons for the next several years. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll even have a country to come back to.
- I’ll put $10 on you not wanting to come back after having tasted actual freedom in just about any other actually developed nation.
  
  Fuck, I lived in Israel for a year during the Second Intifada, when bus bombs and marketplace bombs and nightclub bombs were slaughtering civilians left and right, and when I came back, 9/11 happened and I stopped being able to get healthcare under my parents. If you could get over the nerves of being blown up, Israel was a paradise. I'll never forget how a pharmacist looked at me like I was crazy when I tried to pay for a drug prescription.
Establishing a military junta already
He vowed, lol ok suuuure, ask his ex wives how well he stands by his vows
- This vow follows the values he has of emulating a certain individual.
Republican freedom to have boots on your neck!
I wonder if OJ would apply that to the cop that shot the insurrectionist Ashlee Babbitt? OJ's unhinged base has so many feelings about that.
It's Live Show of Repo: the Genetic Opera!
This is all to get more votes and nothing else.
