Apparently people in the media.
But also, I’m pretty surprised how many Americans can’t explain what’s going on, even on a basic level.
Ask an American: if Trump decides to make an executive decision to incinerate people in his immigration detention camps, and federal judges say no, but he says, “I don’t answer to you,” then who is going to actually stop him? The good quality people of America who have already let him get this far? Those people?!
ICE is him doing whatever he wants. And when ICE becomes powerful enough, he will take the country by force. Which will be super easy and no one will oppose him beyond a picket sign.
We should try slamming them.
people are still ignorant asf over this, i was talking to a co-worker at work, they dont care as long as they get paid. and use the excuse because of so much "trump in the news" they turned off completely, its what is intended by right wing media, to make people ignorant. also living in one of the few cities that trump hasnt tried to touch because of the affluence/rich people in the city.
We still have hope in armed revolution and/or civil war. Especially high hopes on guns rich states like the Texas.
I know we all make jokes about Gravy Seals or Y'all Qaeda but the stark reality here is that we have a very large number of trained killers and white supremacists with military experience and active engagement in militias. There are some very dangerous people out there, they've stolen actual machine guns and explosives from the military. Others are manufacturing these weapons in their basement workshops but the police don't do anything about it because it's a "good ol boys" club. A fascist trained today, did you?
Exactly. Americans are fucked. That 50 caliber Gatling from Bubba’s basement might not be very accurate, but it doesn’t need to be.
Private citizens don't have enough ammo or replacement parts for the complex systems. Though a semi automatic rifle with 25rounds will take a lot of people out.
Well, bubba is shooting for the Feds. Not for the people. 30% want this very badly.
I agree, unless the apathetic left and liberals get armed we are going to get closer and closer to repeating Nazi Germany and I don't think the rest of the world has what it takes to stop us.
