My MAGA friend just said due process is only for citizens. I stopped trying to debate with him, he’s too far gone. I’m depressed about it.

Very disappointing. How does he say he's expected to prove that he's a citizen without due process? I've been wondering.

Unconditional trust in the MAGA authorities, plus unconditional disdain for all other authorities (trumps convictions are unjust politically motivated prosecution, he did nothing wrong). He turned his brain off years ago and just lets fox news think for him.

He doesn't actually have an answer? Even more disappointing.

"What if a socialist demonrat accused you of being a noncitizen? How would you prove them wrong?"

[–] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 4 days ago

Correct, no answer. It just cant happen.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You can ask how do you know he's not a citizen without due process?

[–] Steve@startrek.website 9 points 4 days ago

Couldn’t answer coherently. Comfortably safe as the in group, confident that the others deserve their punishment.

You mean your illegal alien friend? Better let ICE know about him!

If you’re ever forced to have a debate with him, I would love to know about a (actually, an honest) strategy:

Yeah I want him to have a third term too and be as effective as possible, but how will it work if the deep state gets Obama in for a third term and he sends all Republicans to Turkish prisons? Makes me wonder if we listen to the courts whether we can keep the DemonRats/DementedCraps from being their usual fascist selves 🤔
