In a functioning legal system, yes. The US doesn’t have one of those.

I keep waiting for Americans to wake up to the threat and actually do something, but I don’t think it’ll happen before it’s too late. I’m glad you got out and are somewhere safe.

Don’t worry! Texas just passed a law allowing reclaimed fracking water to irrigate crops. That way everyone can get cancer!

And Tesla would be fined and sued into oblivion.

To a cop, hearing “fuck off” and being flipped off is fighting words.

What else are they doing in there for there to get that much paper dust? Book binding?!

They’ve already moved from “illegal” immigrants to legal ones. There’s discussion of removing birthright citizenship so they can deport them too.

There’s no way they need that huge budget for ICE if they plan on stopping at immigrants.

Which minority group is next? They’ve already attacked DEI, so should we expect other people of colour? LGBT? Democrats? People with autism? Disabilities? Mental illness? What group will they brand “undesirables” next?

In a year, two years, five years, what will you be able to say you were doing to stop the genocide? Waving a sign on the weekend isn’t going to help.

They asked for “masked armed men” not police officers.

answering with Bidet as a solution, which makes no sense (you are not going to hose down the bathroom are you?)

It makes perfect sense. If you don’t use TP, there’s no paper dust in the first place.

There’s no way they need a budget that big for just dealing with illegal immigrants. They must be planning on going after other groups too.

LGBT? Democrats? People of Colour? Scientists? Anyone who disagrees with Trump?

We know where this is headed. I’m waiting for the Americans to figure it out before it’s too late.

There’s no way they need all those people and resources if they’re only going after illegal immigrants. They’re going to start disappearing their other targets too. People of Colour, Democrats, LGBTQ, scientists. Get in line. I hope you’re ready for what we know is coming.

First they came for the immigrants…

“Slowly”? We’re already here.

The US is Germany in the 1930s. They’re attacking the media, education, Democrats, rounding up undesirables, threatening to annex Austria Canada.

We’re already here.

Maybe walking down the street with a sign will stop them.

And with this FDA and president it would spread like wildfire.

This is the terrifying part. Ads have become so normal in everyday life that people see nothing wrong with wasting their life away being marketed to by corporations. How much of someone’s life is wasted hearing their existence isn’t good enough but if they’d only buy some product they could be happy?

And yet people are fine with:

People should have basic cooking knowledge
People should have basic financial knowledge

I think you’re right on this. People aren’t moving away from MS because of their obnoxious behaviour. They’re moving to alternate form factors and dealing with Apple’s and Google’s obnoxious behaviour instead. People are willing to put up with a metric ton of bullshit so they don’t have to actually do anything for themselves.

Conservatism has its roots in fear. The world is changing and people are scared.

This will not end well.

Don’t worry, they won’t arrive in uniforms with sirens. They’ll arrive silently in masks.

Democrats are neoliberals. They believe in freedom of capital. They are for big corporations. They’re better than the Republicans, but they are not on your side. They are not the solution to the problem we’re in. They’re part of it. They’ve shown you time and time again they don’t care about you. This isn’t a party dispute. It’s a class dispute.

The solution is to take the few politicians who are actually with us, Bernie Sanders, AOC, etc and push the rest of them out. All the others are on the same side.
