And yet, the poor and stupid people queue up to join the ICE and MAGA organisations.

They would be at upset as they should be, if they were smarter. They wouldn't be "poor and stupid" if they were smarter.

That's not a koikidoink. USA has spent a very long time deliberately creating this situation. And by USA I mean those in power.

The people joining ICE may not be who you think they are. No journalism has scared me quite so much as this article:
