    Imagine that mural in the US, the former land of the free. Trump would probably send his GeStaPo immediately to take down the terrorists who painted this.

      They haven’t come after me…yet. Here’s the front of my house ON THE HIGHWAY.

          What neighbors? Any house that sold in the last TEN years was bought by some commercial endeavor. Rental, Airbnb, tax writeoff…

          I don’t have neighbors, just some people passing through.

            It has turned into an interesting social experiment.

            This small town is economically divided. Half the people work for the government in one way or another. Police, Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Forestry, BLM, Fire department…

            The other half is on welfare.

            The well-to-do people HATE it. I have been flipped off by some of the city council officers. It’s anyone who is driving a new car dislikes my “art”.

            The poor people LOVE it. They shake my hand and tell me to “Keep it up”.

            So… it looks like I’m working for the poor man.

              I caught vandals trying to paint over it. I won in court. They had to pay me for damages.

              It’s making me money.

        The FBI is the Gestapo

        Not yet. When they start eliminating all the brown shirts, AKA ICE then they will be the Gestapo. I wonder how many of them realize that they are scheduled to be eliminated in the plan.

          Best thing that could happen at this point is an Operation Hummingbird type purge of ICE and the DHS. The party is nowhere near consolidated enough to make a power move like that, MAGA would eat itself alive.

        ICE is the police force which directly reports to the Executive Branch, which is why it is Gestapo.

        FBI would be whatever was left of the Wehrmacht when Hitler took power, perhaps the Feldgendarmerie.
