You can be put to death for insulting the president of Tennessee?

It’s why vigilante justice is the only kind of justice the people in power will ever receive.

Would like to hear a response from a Tunisian user in here, of how the tunisian People are seeing this?

Step 1. People are angry

Step 2. Some weirdo gets elected President

Step 3. He starts threatening judges who rule against him, urging his supporters to harass them

Step 4. He starts suing newspapers and journalists, calling them fake news

Step 5 Tells his supporters that black people eat pets and are part of a global plot to replace Tunisians

washingtonpost.com/…/tunisia-kais-saied-racism-mi…

Step 6. Calls the opposition is the enemy from within. Says the opposition supports terrorists and must be stopped/jailed

Step 7 . One night, he sends thugs to surround parliament and arrest the opposition

Step 8. His supporters are happy and defend him

Step 9. Dictatorship

Welcome to Tunisia.

Americans are at step 6. They just don’t know it. They are deers in the headlights.

This is what happens if you relinquish the moral high ground.

You signal that doing this kind of perverted corrupted shit is ok.

The smallest slide whistle in the world.
