You thought Trump was bad? Take a look at Woodrow Wilson and his henchmen

 I just read this book:


You thought Donald Trump and company were bad? During World War I, the Woodrow Wilson administration and its allies ran roughshod over the U.S. Constitution and the rights of U.S. Citizens.

For example this guy expressed opposition to World War I in public:

He was charged under the Espionage Act and imprisoned for 5+ years .. just for expressing his opinion!

The IWW, a union movement, was brutally suppressed, its members tarred and feathered:



 and in many cases even murdered!

All of this was the same impulse that showed itself most recently here in the Trump Administration and its acolytes, especially on January 6, 2021:


It can happen again! Don't forget to vote!
