Don't think the people should be allowed to protest against you? Then just put a fence around the public spaces where they go to do it and lock them out. Every dictator knows this trick, right? It's easier to get away with than just shooting them.

Bottom line... WE have to STOP HIM! WE have to do it, through voting in great numbers, winning the Senate & the House, in spite of all of his voter-suppression and cheating the GOP will do. The ONLY way he'll be stopped is if we win both houses, and win BIG. WE have to stop him. That's the only way.
