Halfway?
- Yes, because so far it's limited in scale and targeted at non-citizens. Republicans are aiming to change that, but have not yet
  
  Unwanted resisting individuals have already received threatening mail to leave the US even as natural citizens. They have changed it already. It is happening right now.
  
  Have you read any black authors writing about their expience of being targeted and brutalized at the hands of police?
  
  We've used the police to target brown people, including citizens, for hundreds of years..
We were halfway there a long time ago. Now we're all the way there, with concentration camps and people being snatched off the streets by masked men. This is the kind of stuff we used to condemn (despite sometime clandestinely supporting in the name of "anti-communism").
- How is that half way?
  
  Japanese internment camps, segregation. Hell go even further back. Westward expansion, killing Native Americans for land, slavery.
We invented modern policing. It literally did not exist. We are the original police state.
It's not a fucking turning point you bunch of shit asshole cowardly journalist. We've already fucking turned you feckless jackasses.
This is like one of those "downloading" progress windows that get stuck on 99% for hours, you hit "cancel" and the download had been done all along.
Da fuk?

The US has been a police State since they hired thugs to catch people with dark skin and throw their asses back into slavery.
