The only inaccurate prediction there (which I did not share) was that Bush wouldn't let Obama become president. And maybe people were afraid of it because of just how far Bush's fascist regime went, and the fact that he wasn't elected to begin with. Our democracy was broken, we didn't know what to expect.

War protestors do get arrested. Environmentalists do get charged with terrorism for acts of minor vandalism. People are imprisoned, tortured, and murdered with no due process. The Iraq war was clearly illegal, and it was clearly genocidal. The use of depleted uranium will leave entire populations with the fear of having deformed babies if they dare try to procreate, and of dying young of cancer. The Bush tax cuts did only benefit the wealthy. Everybody was about to become broke, look around you, they're all broke! You don't know that everyone's broke?

And I don't know about being "rounded up into camps", but will the next Republican fascist president authorize torture? Obviously. Why wouldn't they? After all, who's going to stop them?
