I have dual citizenship with Russia and India, apparently. Where is all this hostility coming from? I'm not someone who elected Trump, especially since I apparently spend half my time in Russia and half in India.
Unfortunately a large part of America is racist and are fine with less due process if it gets rid of brown people. People knew what they were getting when they voted Trump, and the Supreme Court saying brown skin can be used as part of a basis for detaining people to determine if they have legal immigration status is a sad and horrible reality. The loud urban part of America has protested, the quiet rural part has not -- merely indicating they find it distasteful. I hope I am wrong and you are completely right and there is a sweeping change of power, kicking out all the MAGA Republicans.
Also, calling me Ramesh is really not kind to the Indian Americans and Indians who use Lemmy. I think it's less likely Lemmy users are named Vlad, but still, this is actually possibly hurtful to some people. "Garbage country" is also really a hurtful thing to say when Lemmy can be used worldwide.
