MAGAts have no shame they celebrate the evil they bring to the world.
This is the world they want.
Exactly.
For the Fascists, the ones they see as lesser are pretty much sub-human and to be treated as vermin, and they have no more empathy for the younger "vermin" than they have for the adult "vermin".
Just look at Nazi Germany and Zionist Israel for very obvious examples of how for these people the children of the "lesser" races aren't really human and get targetted same as all the other members of the ethnicities they literally call "vermin".
If these people were both capable of empathy and unable to block their empathy on a per-ethnicity basis, they wouldn't be Fascists.
You can't shame a fascist. Time to change strategy.
Shame is dead, time for kicking.
I think we need to bring back tar and feathering.
Do things that demonstrate how shameful they are to the large group of people who don't pay attention to the news or politics until that large group gets fed up with fascists' bullshit
But that's the perfect opportunity to round up all the neighborhood children /s
Get rid of the /s and add "brown" in front of children that's their actual plan.
Pretty sure republicans plans for children have more than just "get rid of" in them.
US is sounding more like a developing country with authoritarian government all the time
That's because it is
I remember someone describing the US once as a third world country under a first world trench coat.
We're fifty-five third-world territories in a trenchcoat
it is. it's a "first world" nation where the healthcare of you and your family is directly tied to your place of employment. it's a "first world" nation where mass shootings are the norm and there's an insanely strong refusal to do anything about it. It's a "first world" nation where you're actively discouraged from seeking assistance from the government and in doing so is a sign of weakness. It's a "first world" nation where the citizens taxes will go more towards military spending as opposed to infrastructure.
There's nothing "first world" about the united states of america. It's a country built on a system that was designed to prevent uprisings. If you protest constantly for change there's the strong likely hood that you'll lose your job, thus your healthcare, thus your ability to eat.
It's a guy wearing an uncle sam halloween costume with a nazi armband underneath.
Oh no it's worse, we're a developed nation with global military capabilities that's becoming (is?) authoritarian
Even in (most) developing countries with authoritarian governments people don't randomly get caught off the street; this is fascist business.
Oh, we're developing alright. It's cancer.
it has been the moment masked unmarked paramilitary started snatching people off the streets. this is the hallmark of every shithole country.
The US is forty or so 3rd world countries being held up by the remaining states that could reasonably function as first world countries themselves, except we’re all in a big trenchcoat and we have thousands of nukes and a fuck-off huge military. This place hasn’t been “one country” for a while now.
We're already there
I'd rather hide ICE. prefferably someplace deep, dark, dank, and with no exits. maybe a few spikes at the bottom? Rats, too.
Please remove law enforcement from the streets so our children are safe. My town growing up had no police within 30 min drive and we were fine. We dont need them.
Ive never trusted cops, even back when they came to my school as a kid. They had that stranger with candy vibe, like they're being too nice. People are only too nice in the moment if they think their other actions (past, present, or future) would scare people off.
Priests and cops. Never trust em.
ICE is ruining Halloween, the shutdown is ruining Thanksgiving, but Trump has one surefire way to save Christmas.
Suicide bombing an all-hands meeting of his cabinet?
Hmmm. I think I've read about plots like that
Deploy the troops because the liberals have had a war on Christmas?
Also now that I think about it: Trick or treaters dressed as ICE agents (or, fuck it, LEOs in general) should be refused candy.
I dunno, the tradition of Halloween is to dress as scary things so they can't recognize you or hurt you. Seems like the perfect time to dress as one of those y'all-qaeda
There's scary and then there's problematic
In this case, it is both. They're scary because of their problematicness.
I remember when I was that kid, when I barely understood the world, before I have even leared of the reality of wars, bigotry, government oppression, propaganda.
I remember that 8 year old kid, my previous country facing massive political and economic issues (not that I understood that at the time), that's why my parents left. I was already having trouble fitting in, learning the language was difficult, and being an introvert made that stuggle harder.
I remember my mother kinda just pushed me into doing trick or treating, I didn't wanted to do it... too many people... but I mean, I guess I kinda was fine, free candy lol, at a time when my parents were kinda stuggling. In hindsight, it was a quite nostalgic and pleasant memory, compared to many other memories.
I remember running into classmates and um... that was so awkward for me, because I'm kinda socially awkward.
I remember the candy I hated the most was Reeses and Twizzlers. I know some of y'all would probably disagree, but that's just me lol, everyone's different.
But like... holy shit... imagine if this was the shit that happened back then.
I reflect on 8 year old me, and I think of the immigrant children today, and I see that reflection of my 8 year old self, I see that spirit in these kids.
I... idk how to describe this. But like I think about alt-timeline often, and I could imagine how terrified 8 year old me would be if some adults took me away, I can imagine the same fear if it happend to these kids today, literally tonight in about 12 hours or so.
I was alone once at age 5-7 (forgot the exact age) because I had a fight with my older brother and ran away, and I could've been kidnapped. But I could imagine a timeline if I had been. And it's 10x worse if its people from the government, because kids used to see them as protectors, that belief being shattered at such a young age is gonna cause a lot of developmental issues. Its gonna be hard to even form friendships, I mean I didn't even face much government oppression and I already had such issues from family troubles, imagime being also facing overt government oppression.
Its so sad.
The sickening thing is that they are probably will use this opportunity to abduct children
Starting to realize they’re the baddies?
A democrat asked ICE barbie, sadly this did not come from above, and based on the response I expect they'll ignore him.
You cannot reason with animals. They don’t understand the fundamental logic required to arrive at a non-violent peaceful conclusion.
Hell… even animals know this.
Is it really a MAGAt Halloween without children being tear gassed and ziptied?
NUREMBERG EM
ICE also asked to go fuck themselves with a rusty rake.
I thought this should be on nottheonion. It actually is.
I have No words left for those pathetic fascist cowards.
If you told them there's a lot of latinx in heaven, they'd raid heaven...
More like ice will use fake trickortreaters to get people to open their doors, then rush into the home.
Ugh
Everyone should just dress as ice agents.
Watch ICE run around brutalizing kids dressed as aliens or alien characters like superman or Goku.
