People's reaction: "This is tyranny!"
The reality: This is delusional.
Trump doesn't have the power to give that kind of order and any official carrying it out can be convicted and imprisoned under state law that Trump can't pardon them for. He actually doesn't understand this despite being president once already because he either always has been retarded*, or got that way due to some sort of dementia.
*I mean that in the medical sense, not as an insult.
So, do the people who, in this hypothetical scenario, get sent there wait it out in that prison for the U.S. courts to argue the case, charge and convict the low level officials, and then.. send a bailiff or strongly worded letter to El Salvador?
I'm curious how bad it needs to get? I hope we can pull through but Democrats don't inspire much confidence.
We need to remember that we're We the People. Fuck the Democratic politicians if they won't fight for us. Fuck the traitor Republican politicians if they threaten us.
We still have our 2nd amendment right. Use it or lose it right?
Exactly. The power lies with the people and always has. Don't rely on an ineffectual party to save you. You have to do it yourselves.
Ask 1930s Germans how bad it needs to get.
Id argue Americans are even more gaslit and deluded than they were with modern for profit media combined with captured government pulpits.
I truly think the average American would sooner burn their own children alive than protest/disempower their capitalist fascist oppressors gutting their very lives for an extra nickel. For profit media says the fault of our problems are all the powerless homeless neighbors we've all collectively betrayed lowering property values with their continued immoral existence as they produce no value other than to scare everyone else back to their jobs every day.
Wouldn't want to be accused of being a filthy SOCIAList that wants to be part of a SOCiety after all. Why live together when we can die alone at each other's throats hoping the next lottery ticket or third side gig will make us a big winnah!
I will never, never forget all the domestic politicians using their pulpits when covid hit to assure everyone that they will do everything possible to protect our beloved ~~society people children future~~ economy, with basically no pushback 🤮
Agreed, the people would rather abdicate their responsibilities to institutions that have no accountability and now we're seeing the results. The majority have grown fat and stupid and now they need to relearn that the stove is hot by getting burned.
burn their children alive than protest/disempower their capitalist fascist oppressors.
I'm concerned that's a package deal. As soon as he hits the right trigger, it goes martial law. If he shoots protestors, 40% of the US will be chomping at the bit to grab their own guns and help him.
The left might have the majority, but they're not armed and deluded and ready for the blood of the regular right.
I'm part of the left and I'm armed. I just don't glorify my arms, name them girl names, or fall to sleep stroking them like a lover.
I think it's the only position I share with our rightwing. I wish I didnt need them, but this is a cesspool of toxic individualism, avarice, and prideful ignorance. When in Nazi Germany, you might need to shoot a Nazi.
In the Nordic countries, societies, they have freedom to roam, here our bootstrap buckaroos fantasize about murdering anyone (who doesn't look like them) that rings their doorbell for walking up their sidewalk.
If you aren't training with your weapons you being armed doesn't mean shit. Nobody cares how much you resent your firearm ownership. I own and train with guns for the same reasons I own and train with first aid kits and fire extinguishers. It's called being responsible for your own safety because nobody cares about you as much as yourself.
The "words are violence" crowd is gonna have a tough time dealing with the "violence is violence" crowd. Wish they hadn't deluded themselves into believing the 2nd amendment wasn't necessary in the modern era.
That's ...
Odd? I can't wrap my head around the lack of coherent threats anymore.
Like I knew it was going to be bad, but I expected more action and less, uh, I guess stupid statements? Like is this drug fueled, or is it just idiots talking? Idiots talking while on drugs?
MAGA:
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is usually perspective.
Murder innocent women and children. You should deport the rest of the women and children to some place they've never lived and let the murderers take their homes Spray paint a car, you should deport the spray painted to a prison in a country they have never lived in.
I see no inconsistency in their logic /s
If you were waiting until it got to actual concentration camps before you were willing to call this fascism, well, here you go.
