ICE has always been evil and unnecessary, it is evil and unnecessary, and it can never be anything but evil and unnecessary. Abolishing it is the moderate position. Anyone saying otherwise is a coward or collaborator.

Nicolas Maduro has a chance to do the most productive thing of all time

We won't begin to roll back the tide of fascism until white liberals come to terms with the fact that tens of millions of their fellow citizens actively, knowingly, support racist Gestapo policies. Tens of millions of racists were not deluded or misled. How will you adjust your strategy accordingly?

I picked Chantal for a reason! Dude loves to use Black women as puppets for his own political preferences when it suits him.

You should listen to the Black people you cynically deploy to deflect from your support for the genocidaire Kamala Harris.

Chantal James, who Patty cynically quotes in the post I am replying to, posting on 11/13/24 "Kamala Harris whose administration was daily sending billions in weapons to obliterate Gaza, you complete jackets. You could've picked up a paper to see the proof."

lol good call man

Yeah, you'd have to believe that Republicans are too stupid to breath (which, fine) to think that the majority or even a plurality had no idea he was running on mass deportations.

Thank you, we needed a good liberal to start chanting "Davon haben wir nichts gewusst" on behalf of the right before they're even removed from power

Americans are dumb as shit, but not so dumb they have no clue what the guy who ran in 2016 on ~illegals doing crimes will murder you~ was pitching the *third* time around

This is equivalent to posting the Google Trends screenshot of "is Joe Biden running for president" spiking on election day and insisting it represents more than like a hundred people total.

most people learn from some manager at their first shitty retail job that you do not have to respect what a person says just because their position should, in theory, be held by someone who knows what they're talking about

some personal news neon just bought my latest script “a shanda for the golem”

Go off, fascist king

Repeat after me:

I am not cleverer than Luigi Mangione.
I am not cleverer than David Lynch.
I am not cleverer than Yoko Ono.
I am not cleverer than Lowtax.

But if I stand back and watch and learn,
I will be cleverer than I am.

It's important to read more than the headline, dunce. The ACLU explicitly notes the lack of due process for 75% of deportations in 2012.

Speed Over Fairness: Deportation Under the Obama Administration | ACLU

Yes, you really should look up the history of ICE deportations lacking due process.

Until we get a single Democratic elected at the national level, hell at any level, committing to anything -- truth and reconciliation, abolish ICE, let alone anything like Nuremberg -- it's all wishcasting that has lower odds of happening than anything previously dismissed as "ponies" or "unicorns."

@ildon American white Christian nationalism contributes heavily to both. Evangelicals think climate isn't real because it's purely God's will and that Israel needs to destroy Palestine so Jesus can come back to destroy any Jewish person who doesn't convert in the lead up to the end of the world. @proptermalone Without engaging on the merits I'm not sure "it's all white American Christians' fault" gets you outside the "extremely racist" box either

Perfect opportunity to repost this clanger from them

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.

You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

the problem with dedicating campaign funds toward charitable endeavors is what if you lose and then all you’ve done is helped people in need in your community?

Dude blocked me for pointing out this supposed ironclad rule of the plurality winning party getting their leader elected chancellor does not hold for basically any of the 5 or 6 chancellors appointed before Hitler.

This isn't true of the chancellors appointed before Hitler. You know that, right?

The most generous reading is they want to convey fascism can ascend by popular mandate, as some sort of warning fable.
All it does though is obscure that conservatives actively gave Hitler power despite his loss against Hindenberg a year prior and the Nazis never securing a majority in parliament.

Going to start insisting that RFKjr was democratically elected

I agree with this as well, I was primarily taking issue with the notion that it is preternaturally guaranteed that marginalized/poor voters cannot be a voting bloc for a candidate sufficiently engaged in their community.

I have a vague recollection that before they left they swore off posting his dogshit takes (maybe it was someone else they were talking about) because of just how frequent and tedious they are
