    I’m sure this imaginary scenario works on most of the boobs that comprise the user base of this platform, but that’s not going to work here. I’m a legal citizen of my country. I’m not a criminal. I’m not going anywhere.

    Furthermore, the fAsCiSm boogie man is old, tired, and trite.

      Jews were legal citizens of Germany. Indigenous people are citizens of the US.

      Both have been, and we’re deported.

      And, chances are, you are a criminal. Most citizens commit one felony a day, on average.

        Well I’ll tell ya what. When the government comes to take me away for doing nothing, and I manage to get my hands on an internet connected device, you’ll be my first contact, just so I can say, you were right. But I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you, especially if you’re a member of a species that requires the inhalation of oxygen.

        Also, BRB, gotta go commit my daily felony.

          Go for it. I’ll laugh, at you, probably.

          Let me guess? You think the Cardassians were the good guys?

            Occupying an entire world while you rape their people and land/resources? Don’t be retarded.

                Can it? Sure. Literally anything can happen. A black hole could suddenly appear and engulf our planet. A meteorite could impact our planet and destroy it. Billionaires could suddenly grow a conscious and give away the majority of their money. However, the likelihood of any of these, or my government kicking down my door and deporting me for absolutely no reason, is extremely improbable.

                Nothing is going to happen. And in 4 years, when your life, and the life of most legal citizens, hasn’t been impacted by anything the current administration does (just like the last one), you’ll all look back and realize you how foolish you were acting. Well, probably not, because such a thing takes self reflection, but I’m sure a few of them will.

                  So… most legal citizens? How about the veteran who got deported, and is a citizen. That literally happened this past week…

                    I googled “veteran deported” for anything in the past month.

                    I found this and this. Neither of which mention any of the subjects of the articles were deported; only detained.
