[QUOTE="Elipe, post: 1358608, member: 17998"] If Trump was doing something like that, he would create a new intelligence organization that would basically be designed to supplant the FBI. Yes, the media would scream secret police, but they've already been tarring Trump with the Hitler brush for a long time, so I think that would largely just be an impotent attack vector by this point. You listed a lot of people-groups that are different in much more than just looks. Stop trivializing those differences. This trivialization is why we're in the situation we are in now. What we need are strong [B]right-wing[/B] (conservatism is a failure) men that build their own parallel institutions, not joining existing, broken institutions that will leave permanent scars on their bodies, psyches, and souls. Again, what are you going to do when they give you the order to storm an American town? Are you gonna stand up and give the usual conservative monologue that's always worked so well over the past 70 years, and make the military suddenly have a change of heart and realize that apple pies and baseball are worth defending? The answer is parallel institutions that will stand tall while the old institutions rot to death because all the competence left to go join the parallel institutions. [/QUOTE]
