Trump is now saying “the gloves are off."
He says that last week, he just wanted to beat Hillary in November, but that after the DNC convention, he agrees that she should be “locked up."
What changed?
Only one thing. Democrats said things about him at a political convention.
His mind was changed not by any kind of revelation concerning Benghazi or her emails. Have you seen anything in the news? Me either. He decided he wants to jail a human being because they hurt his small, fascist, petulant feelings.
This is a key moment in this election, where Trump says to the world: “Yes, I'm a fascist. Look it up. I’m the definition. And here's the proof: “Lock her up."
This is the moment when he says he plans to do things that we all know a real historical fascist like Saddam Hussein or Pinochet or Hitler for.
He would imprison his political enemies.
Republicans couldn't prosecute a case against Hillary Clinton, after millions spent and years trying. But within the law, they couldn't.
Our security agencies and our DOJ couldn't either. They wouldn't, because there isn't something for them to legally prosecute.
Nevertheless, because Trump sees her as a political opponent and because the DNC convention challenged him, he would take away her freedom.
He would take away her FREEDOM...
just like he would do for thousands of blacks, because for him they're “lazy” and can't help it, and vote against Republicans like him...
just like he would do for Latinos, no matter whether they were born in Indiana or have kids and families that rely on them...
just like he would do with anyone he dislikes at some point in his meaningless life, which is EVERYONE.
He’d "lock her up.” He'd lock us up.
Trump has told us he plans to use prison as a political weapon against Hillary Clinton, and take from her the rest of her life, her FREEDOM, her life with her grandkids, all of it, because she hurt his feelings.
He’s insane, as all the worst fascists must be.
If he's given the chance to do what he’s saying he will, we’re no longer America, and none of us are safe. It's not just Muslims or Mexicans.
He’ll lock up old white ladies just as gleefully. He’s actually insane enough to admit it on video, to millions of people.
If you actually care about FREEDOM, there’s now only one candidate to choose from. The other is insane enough to admit he’d use prison as a political weapon for revenge.
And don't tell me we don't have a criminal justice problem if there are enough weirdo white people in America to make Trump the Republican nominee. If he’s threatening this fascism, and his crowds are cheering it, then in the darkest corners of our justice system, people like him are already getting away with using prison as a weapon against those they dislike, innocence and freedom be damned.
