    Once again, it’s not deportation. When a U.S. citizen is forcibly transported to another country, it’s kidnapping and human trafficking.

    earmarking $45 billion to detain 100,000 migrants

    $450K per migrant. I wonder which MAGA-sponsoring corporations are going to see that payday, and I wonder what % of it they’ll be kicking-back to Orange and Elmo? We’ve got a lot of citizens here. Kidnapping them at government expense will be extremely profitable, even at today’s rates.

        Not forgetting the non-voters who only vent their frustration on social media. Or with their ridiculous useless peaceful protests. Just watching democracy being dismantled and only blaming the other side… by doing nothing you are 100% responsible. Finally start riots while it’s still possible.

        You call MAGA stupid… yet you seem to know the German history and still only peaceful protests come at most… The technique of suppression is so much more advanced… Drones etc are a dream… but just keep watching… Germany only made it out with the help of 2 world powers. Nobody can help you later!

      We need a new name for them besides Nazis. People start calling them Nazis and then you got to put up with bad faith arguments with people claiming they aren’t as bad as Nazis while completely missing the point.

      Can’t demean them either by calling them ass hats or bastards…… How about confederates? All of em ain’t nothing but confederates, going against Found Father values.

      How about that? You defend the confederates and people begin thinking your nothing but backwater country folk who still believe in slavery

        They’re not Nazis, but they ARE fascists.

        Nazis were big into public works and pretending to be socialist, both of which are anathema to the American Fascist Party.

        All Nazis are fascists, but not all fascists are Nazis.

      Because the republican mantra is “not my problem if it isn’t happening to me”.

      You also overestimate how much people pay attention to current events. Most voters have no idea what’s going on.

      The MAGA members I know are totally down to send folks off to foreign prisons. They don’t think the laws or bill of rights apply to “illegals.” How do they know the person the federal law enforcement officers have detained is the right “illegal” without going to court? They don’t care.

        Or are brainwashed with Republican owned media, which is most news networks and various things with news in the title. I’ve met and talked to people who are Republican and most are inadvertantly ignorant; they try and keep up with what’s happening but because of where they look they end up with misrepresenting and missing pieces. Left News is also missing pieces, so people tend to talk past each other, which doesn’t help either.

          No.

          If you support harming others who have done nothing other than exist, you can’t blame brainwashing. You’re not a good person, full stop.

          The truth is that a large portion of humans are stupid, selfish, hateful, pieces of shit. It’s why brainwashing works on them; it’s just directing them, not actually changing them.

            Right. But that’s why they’re fed the excuses “they broke the law coming into the country!” “they committed a crime!” “they had gang tattoos!” when they overstayed a visa or applied for asylum, were unjustly convicted, or had autism awareness tattoos. But they’re fed lies, so in their minds it’s justified.

              “Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

              This is why it is an individual’s responsibility to be critical of their and others’ motivations, to be attempt awareness of attempts of manipulations by others and our own self-deceptions.

              Even the best of my countrymen are not good at any of these things, but people that do not even make the attempt certainly seem to skew toward MAGA.

    Deporting citizens is already blatantly unlawful. This is just icing on the cake.

    Why would traitors protect American Citizens? Republicans need to have a reckoning.
