Texas lawmaker: I want Christian chaplains in schools to "put God back in government"

I agree with most of this. I love the Jurassic Park comparison.
We’re unlikely to see the movement specifically criminalize a religious movement the way that Mormons were identified and chased out in the 19th century,
Although it was mostly blocked by courts, we had a Muslim travel ban under Trump. Now Trump is threatening mass deportations of millions of immigrants and migrants from Latin America. The proposed strategy will first involve rounding up people into camps so they can be processed for deportation. Even if no one dies in this process, I think that it would still qualify as a form of ethnic cleansing. So I think we should not underestimate what the fascists are willing to do when it comes to targeting entire groups of people. Especially when they explicitly tell us what they are going to do.
Resistance efforts will watch for opportunities within this chaos, and will operate much the way...
...but we will be able to slow it down and raise questions to the public regarding how it will affect the public.
People tend to assume that will be some kind of resistance movement. If people aren't willing to vote against fascism, I find it hard to believe they will be willing to speak out against fascism let alone fight it directly. Hopefully, in such a scenario, I am proven wrong.
Our best strategy to prevent a fascist takeover is to Vote Blue this November. It's a direct, nonviolent way to reach a better outcome for our country. I fully believe that the American people will choose democracy over fascism this year. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't put in the work this year. Anything we could do as part of a nonviolent resistance or as part of an awareness campaign in the event of a fascist takeover can and should be done now. This is the year where winning over the public is going to have the most impact.
