See we can't have you voting for people the president doesn't like.
Andy Ogles shows his support for “terrorism” by suggesting someone he doesn't like should have his life upended, stripped of citizenship, and permanently removed from him home.
Can we send Ogles to Alligator Auschwitz?
They are terrified.
Use paper ballots only.
I mean NYC doesn’t fuck around, it’ll be interesting if they try to fuck with Mamdani. I’m too busy to protest usually but if they try to lay a finger on him I’d be at city hall human shielding his ass in 15 mins flat
I sit here a former Army officer and National Guardsman thinking to myself why the fuck did I spend my youth for this country.
Way to show weakness, cadet bone spurs.
Oh boy, get ready for mass protest in NYC.
Guess I need to be getting ready for dumbass libs to say. "It's still not fascism".
Marco Rubio first. POS birthright citizenship. Or let’s deport Ted Cruz. I’m sure Canada will love to have his head on a stick.
They're white, different rules apply to them. Conservatism was always about "different rules for different people", fascism is just the bad cop to conservatism's good cop.
Both of them should honestly be real worried about that. If Trump gets to fully exercise that power, and they step out of line a little bit, either one of them would be exiled in no time.
Senator who?
I don't understand! How does trump have so much over reach and why aren't the courts stopping him! Why is our government intentionally creating a fascist dictator!
The president of the United States has always been a public servant who represents the people of our country. He's not a king among men the Office of the President should not have the ability to strip the citizenship of any individual that's what immigration courts are for!
because the people who rabidly defend the second amendment don't give a shit, and approve of his racist oligarch bullshit
Trump has started small, piece by piece, bit by bit. He's gotten away with everything else. So why wouldn't he get away with this?
And the people isn't doing anything about it. So why would he stop? Maybe americans should take a note from Ukraine's book. You protest outside the capitol and you don't go home until you get what you want.
For sheer size of the US, it can be exceedingly difficult to get all the way to DC. If you can't fly and have to drive for whatever reason, financial or otherwise, it's a 39 hour drive going from LA in California to DC. One way. With absolutely no time accounted for bathroom breaks, food, or even sleep. It's like a three day drive each way. That's basically a worst case scenario, but also, a ton of people live on the west coast, so it's not exactly an uncommon one. Unfortunately, the sheer geographical scale of the US makes it very difficult for people to amass specifically in DC.
You're 100% right, though, that anyone who can do it should do it.
In this specific case? We've spent the last two decades watching overly broad anti terrorism laws get passed under the implicit agreement they wouldn't be abused. Then comes Trump. Americans have been asleep at the wheel since the 1970's. That's part of why right wing rhetoric keeps getting more extreme. They need to keep their voting base engaged. Most people don't want anything to do with politics. If that doesn't change then no amount of reform will prevent us from voting ourselves out of a democracy.
Because more Americans are either fully on board and support this, or don't give enough of a shit to care compared to those who oppose this behavior., and piss and moan every day about how "tHiS iS nOt wHo wE ArE"
Trump is literally America's spirit animal, he represents everything that America stands for: greed, ignorance, hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny, corruption, and deceit. Trump is not an outlier, he is America's mirror.
Disgusting. If they do this, we are actually living in a fascist state. Stripping citizenship from your political opponents? This is insane.
If they do this, it is further confirmation that we are actually living in a fascist state.
We are already living in a fascist state.
THAT's the trigger point where you will accept that you live in a fascist country?? Have you been asleep since january?
Long story short is that America has literally been going through "First they came for ..." for months now.
I can already see the headlines from later this year and the next, about how "no one could see it coming" and "why didn't anyone warn me(better)". You can actually just go to communities making fun of pro-brexit folk and see the same quotes from them afterwards.
Months. Did you somehow miss black lives matter? The rapid growth of the prison industrial complex? This is just the explosive conclusion to a pattern that was well underway long before Trump.
We better start preparing for a stronger resistance now while we still can.
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
Hey USA, you guys ok down there?
No.
No, send help.
I'm stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.
So I'm gonna go with "No."
Human MAGAs should all inject bleach. It's good for you. I heard it on Fox News.
At some point, some country will need to send a task force to El Salvador to liberate people from the concentration camp there.
Whoa there America. That sounds like some good ol” fashioned American fascism right there
Its a good thing Democratic leadership has condemned this. They obviously don't like the man and see him as a threat, but Trump's actions are far worse. They did stand up for him right? Right?
They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they're sure it won't affect the outcome. Then they'll regretfully run Cuomo.
Chuck Schumer will push to call it something different. They'll reach a consensus with Republicans on something like the Glorious "Bipartisan" Liberation from Antisemitic Terrorism
"Terrorism" as in "Taxing the rich"?
