In the march of Facism, there is no one single point that is "too far". They never cross the line because they keep moving it. Then, before you know it, it's too late.

Re: Portland Protestors abducted by secret police
Man the left has been desperate to play the Fascist card on Trump for a while now. Ya'll got blue balls when he decided not to sent in the army, but kept suggesting it. (all the while reminding people that every governer and mayor could send in the national guard at any time). Now you're trying to suggest that plain clothes officers are the secret police. It's the SS and Drumph is literally Hitler!!1!!1Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 4:06 am https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unmarked-vehicles-portland-protesters/

Or at least "Federal Officers". You know what, I report, you decide:

I'm constantly amazed at how your rants show this utter lack of factual knowledge.

I don't think officers is used to describe militaristic outfits (pun intended). I'm not finding anything on the internet about SWAT for instance being called officers.
edit: yeah actually a few articles use the term "SWAT officer" so there is that. Nothing official so far though.

Trump has officially deployed units in Portland. Over the objections of the Mayor and city council. They are units from the DHS, Border Patrol, and Coast Guard.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 8:27 pm I don't think officers is used to describe militaristic outfits (pun intended).

So yeah, I'd say he did what he said he was going to do.

The closest would be the coast guard as it is an official branch but those weren't the people you were in a tizzy about (or in the picture you posted). Nobody takes the coast guard seriously, can't call Trump Hitler for using them. It's all about the optics.

Armies have guns. These men have guns. These men must be an army!

Re: Portland Protestors abducted by secret police
Yes being armed is an intrinsic aspect of an Army/Armed Forces, (shocking I know) it's not the only factor of course but from what I can tell from the outside that info is not available.Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 5:22 pm Armies have guns. These men have guns. These men must be an army!
