I've been warning everyone, people won't fucking hear it. Disgusting.
remember during george w bush when people were upset that they were training the national guard to arrest us citizens? they had actors yelling stuff like “im a us citizen! you can’t arrest me! this violates the constitution!” and stuff like that?
….
that sure was scary….
i think it comes down to grief and denial… people are very unable to cope with the idea that this could ever be real.
“oh congress will stop him though, oh the supreme court wouldn’t let that happen… no way the military would go through with that… americans all have guns, they’d never do that”.
…
also noteworthy that roger stone was caught talking about how they need a plan to take guns from all the leftists… by calling them enemies of the state….
it’s sad but ignorant americans are victims too… id say victims of brainwashing as well.
people who denied it don’t need a “ha i told you so!”, they need a, “what what did you say you’d do if it ever DID happen… because we’re here now in spite of our best hopes and doubts”.

I really wonder how all the protest voters feel about all of this. Not what they’d say they feel, because we’ve all seen their smug and entitled responses- no, what I want to know is; how they actually and honestly feel about all of this.
Because even though I voted, I’ve seriously thought about it. I’ve tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who has EVERY reason to ask themselves if all of this was worth the entitlement-driven single-issue excuse to avoid doing the bare minimum it would have taken to hold on to the last shred of our democracy- to avoid having to have participated in what might have been America’s last election.
Yeah. I’m fucking angry.
And I’m not yet ready to forgive the assholes that helped make this happen. And part of the reason is that while I’ve seen post after post and meme after meme of even the conservatives questioning their reasoning in voting for that corrupt little felonious mouth-breathing gremlin, I haven’t see even ONE of these third party/non-voters so much as make a peep in the general vicinity of remorse.
If they want to talk about rallying behind a cause- as we see them doing here so many times, they should first start by fessing up and own their shit, because in an adult world, anyone that can admit their mistakes proves they have the honesty, maturity, and humility it takes to deserve trust.
Otherwise- I see no reason to trust them any further than I would a conservative.

if things get any shittier, this administration is going to have to stop people at the border in the opposite direction
Already looked at emigration. I'm sure doctors and scientists and researchers are leaving in droves, but for the average person it's quite difficult until there is some amnesty policy.
We'll be the new East Germany.
I wonder how long before states start considering secession again.
The sooner Blue States leave the Conservative Centipede, the better. I don't view conservatives to be fellow Americans anymore.

I wonder how shitty this administration will have to get before enough people get motivated to take some significant action to stop it?
Could start with you; Could start with me.
I wonder what kind of payoff Bukele is getting from Trump to keep someone that Bukele admits was wrongly sent to El Salvador but he refuses to return him.
Unfortunately, the dudes probably dead already. Happened to that American student years ago in South Korea too. He was on a trip and got sentenced to a slave camp for "defacing a poster" if I recall, and as the family was fighting for his release, oops he's in a body bag now. At least they sent his body back for the family.
Assuming you mean North Korea, and yeah, probably dead.
They refuse to bring Garcia back because hes dead. CECOT is an extermination camp. Complete with giant pool of blood. It's a prison that never fills up.
We are no longer in some hypothetical what if state in regards to fascism. The President is sending people to death camps and as conservative as this SCOTUS is it ruled 9 to 0 ordering Trump to return Garcia. They refused to do so.
Buy a gun.
