"Lock her up" means "Heil Trump"
"Obamagate" and "Lock her up": Pointing the way toward "Heil Trump"
It’s not just a chant at Trump's rallies or lame wordplay in his tweets. It’s his call to fascist rule
By Lucian K. Truscott IV
Salon, May 16, 2020
Except...
There is a perfect symmetry to the involvement of Michael Flynn in Trump's latest attempt to deflect attention from his inept handling of the coronavirus crisis, which has caused the infections of more than 1.4 million Americans and the deaths of more than 87,000 nationwide. Flynn enjoyed a singular distinction during the transition between the Obama and Trump administrations, besides his coziness with Russian bankers and ambassadors. Obama gave Trump only one piece of personal advice during their private meeting in the White House after Trump was elected: Whatever you do, don't hire Michael Flynn. For anything. Ever.
But Trump loved Flynn. It had been Flynn who led the delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention in chanting "lock her up" after mentioning the alleged criminal behavior of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. As with Trump's use of "Obamagate" as a shorthand for Obama's alleged corruption while in office, Flynn's allegations against Clinton were equally vague and shorn of specificity. Trump had already been encouraging his crowds to chant "lock her up" at his campaign rallies in 2016, and has continued the practice ever since. I don't know of a single rally Trump has held since he's been in office when the crowd didn't break into the "lock her up" chant, with Trump allowing the fascist bellowing to wash over him as he stands at the podium, smiling with approval at the crowd.

They weren't 'vague' or short of specificity. She violated numerous security regulation on the hand;y of secret documents, lied about it and destroyed evidence... Barry carried out an illegal spying coup into the incoming President for personal reasons... he and his cronies lied about it and destroyed evidence... It's just now coming out.

1. This Fall it'll be "Lock him up!" at every one of Trump's Nuremberg Rallies.

2. Absolutely! Weird how so much of the "Free Press" is missing this.
From Truscott:
I use the words "fascist bellowing" on purpose, because that's what it is: Trump supporters at public events and rallies loudly endorsing official lawlessness. It's not a funny joke or clever verbiage. Trump and his followers have been routinely advocating the jailing of Trump's political opponents without an investigation, criminal charges, trial or conviction by a jury of their peers. This is the way fascist dictators dispose of their political opposition. Putin has jailed opponents of his regime. He has also arrested wealthy businessmen whose enterprises he wanted to seize, and of course he has ordered the murder of Russian citizens who he felt betrayed him.
You know we are calling for full investigations into these events... and unlike Barry and Co., we don't have to manufacture proof of crimes...

5. Several "plants" need to start "Heil Trump" salutes at his more well-covered rallies for the MSM to cover. Let the world see how deranged his followers are. Of course, any patriotic news organization or citizens should decry such totalitarian behavior to make certain it doesn't catch on. But I'd like the fascists to be documented on video.
Or, you know... manufacture fake news...

Ummmm ... OK. Does the Salon writer know it's 2020 and not 2016? And that Trump hasn't held a rally for about 2 1/2 months? On top of the article's fundamental dumbness ....

And yet it's the democrat governors and mayors who are acting like nazis by taking away our constitutional freedoms and asking us to tattle on our neighbors if they aren't doing the reich thing.

Actually, "lock her up!" means exactly what it sounds like; imprison a person who did things that would get anyone else in the country imprisoned.
Is that simple enough to follow?

If such "plants" began such chants, said "plants" would be PLANTED in the sidewalk and be plants for the rest of their godforsaken lives.
