The Minnesota governor said that the path to tyranny “is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was testifying before Congress about his state’s handling of immigration when he learned Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was forcibly removed from a Department of Homeland Security news conference Thursday.
The irony, he told the attendees of the Center for American Progress’ “Listening to Lead” event Friday, was in lawmakers grilling him and his colleagues, Govs. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y. and JB Pritzker, D-Ill., over the “incredible crime of treating people like human beings” as FBI agents tackled a sitting senator to the ground and handcuffed him in Los Angeles.
“I am not prone to hyperbole. I am prone to, like, popping off a little bit. I know that,” Walz said, prefacing his argument that Americans are living in a “dangerous” time. “I believed all along we were marching towards authoritarianism, and people were telling me in December, ‘You know, you’re overreacting.’ And I said, “The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.”
…Because even now, before the primary we are locked into Waltz or trump?, is that right, smart guy?
What are you going to do about it if the DNC does their thing again?
I draw the line at genocide. I dont vote for anyone who does it or supports it. So that will limit my choices in participating, voting, or donating. I dont want to tell other people what to do, but if everyone adopted this rule we wouldn’t be in this mess and the dems would have run someone better because they’d know they couldnt win otherwise. But they’ll keep trying to shove a zionist down our throats because we let them.
We’re locked into whatever the system permits.
We make more choices than we think we do. They gather polling data on what we will support and how scared we are, and they act on it.
