Like most Republicans, these Long Island Republicans cannot express empathy at all until bad things happen to someone they know personally. So if there's a silver lining to Trump's pogroms targeting immigrants, it's that they are so widespread that they are having the direct impact that will be necessary if these people would ever be able to see past the brainwashing.

Time and time again, these misguided people say shit like "I thought he was only getting rid of the bad ones". News flash - it was never about the criminals, it was about getting rid of everyone who wasnt born here, and then moving on to other undesirables, like gays, Liberals, and so on. Given time, we will all be the "bad ones" for one reason or another....

They will cry , they will complain but in the end they will just vote Republican again.

It’s about getting rid of democrats, starting with the most vulnerable.

They’re done with elections.

So if she had been average it would be OK?

That’s beside the point. The point here is that we are shooting ourselves in the dick by acting like asscunts.

Sure, but the headlines are always like: son of war veteran took by ICE. Like: oh not the son of a terrorist or a good student, we only want the brown weirdos gone.

It’s to make them more relatable. People will read the headline and think ‘I know a person like that’ or ‘I am in that situation’ and want to know more about what happened.

That’s a Trump+10 county. The locals are probably overwhelmingly thrilled to see trump not only delivered but overdelivered his campaign promises.

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Not this one.

Is anyone else starting to get some real Pol Pot vibes from ICE?

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

If not gestapo, then why gestapo shaped?

[–] drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 21 hours ago

If it walks like the Gestapo, and quacks like the Gestapo; it's probably the Gestapo.

This is only going to accelerate! They'll be coming for other "undesirables" next. Us lefties should never forget that the right-wing wants us dead. That's not hyperbole. They want to eradicate us. Remember that the next time you see men in masks terrorizing innocent people, you're next!

Guys relax. It's only a matter of time before they get Rafael Cruz

The ICE agents claimed they were looking for someone else entirely when they entered the family home -- but they chose to detain the two anyways.

In case anyone has any doubt what the intentions of all this are. PeterGriffinOkNotOk.jpg
