Well. Might as well say it now: if they’re going to take you down, take as many with you as you can.
Because if you end up in a foreign prison, you probably aren’t coming back.
They’re right, no one is safe. We’ve already seen the creep: first it was violent illegal immigrants, then it was any illegal immigrants, then it was immigrants waiting for due process on their case, then it was green card holders - not necessarily a lot of them, but enough to establish precedents and see how far they can get.
Now they’re saying “violent US citizen-criminals” - but they run the state that determines whether you’re a criminal and how violent your crimes was. Remember all those videos of non-resisting people being screened at by the cops "Stop resisting!; remember bills in Florida and other states to label trans people sex offenders - that’s what we’re up against. Any resistance or non-conformity can and likely will be punished.
"First they came for … "
This is actually happening faster than it did in Nazi Germany.
…this Nation’s system of laws is designed to prevent, not enable, their rise.
I’m going to go ahead and say this is now a categorically false statement.
Why foreign?
Can’t even Make American Gulags Appear let alone a manufacturing infrastructure for you sexist, racist, anti-science, anti-health, selfish, fascist, no-exaggeration dumbest people on earth considering how you chose this.
Dude… This rabid anti American shit is getting old.
You’re on a social platform with like-minded people who are all potential targets for this administration’s horse shit. Few, if -any- of -us- voted for this. We are Americans, but we are also, very likely, -your- allies.
If you just want to be mad and demonstrate how in-control of your emotions you are, go on. But what’s happening has global ramifications. Maybe don’t dunk on those who are fighting it from the inside.
Until you actually start cleaning house, you are not our allies. Comments like yours, and other empty expressions of support, are as meaningful as “thoughts and prayers.”
Get your shit in order rather than whining about how unpopular your country is.
Until we start? We have. It’s not something that happens overnight. You’re saying you’re not my ally until I’m winning, and that’s not the high ground you think it is.
And as far as whining… Look at my post history before you call me a whiner. I have little to no disillusions about my country.
This edgelord internet routine plays right into the authoritarian’s hands. Build bridges, not walls.
we have before

Trump is not having original ideas but instead is using the same playbook Hitler got off the United States
Why are there so many people itching to hurt others? Let’s take our hands and resist, people. I am not even American but I am scared for you all, and for me as well. We’re seeing that taking down Democracy was easier than we expected.
Why are there so many people itching to hurt others?
Because privilege is based on exploitation.
Would the cliche “hurt people hurt people” work here?
I mean… kinda? Its no excuse, but Trump, Musk and the lot of them seem to all have deep insecurities rooted in childhood trauma. A toxic culture that encourages abusive behavior and discourages self-reflection and accountability certainly doesn’t help.
The memes about it how these men would rather destroy America then see a therapist are pretty real.
I once made a video called “make Trump do LSD” and I’m genuinely convinced that a strong dose of shrooms or LSD with proper therapy would actually help sort out people like that.
Honestly, essentially this no matter how ridiculous it seems
*unless you’re white
I don’t expect that to last.
yeah, you’re right. this is more realistic now:
Oh they’re clearly moving to make that outdated. They want to turn any protestor into a terrorist.
That comment?
It was an observation that darker folks might have more to worry about
