Imagine Trump voters reading this EXACT headline during Biden's presidency. They would have lost their minds. They wouldn't take a vaccine because they thought there was a 5g chip in it, but this is ok?

[–] blave@lemmy.world 64 points 11 hours ago

It’s OK because it’s racist. They love that shit.

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I was raised by republicans so I can provide some insight. Its because they would have to admit they were wrong about Trump. You can either admit you were wrong and declare him a tyrant or you can back him on everything. You can guess which most of them choose.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Which that also blows my mind. Where did they get it in them that it’s so hard to admit your wrong?

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It starts from an extremely young age when they're taught that questioning what their parents and pastor say is an unforgivable moral failure.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 hours ago

Ah. Religion.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled

Mark Twain perhaps

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago

These are the same asshats that are just fine with Taco invading blue cities and threatening more. Including the use of Marines, FFS. And he's threatening a lot more. They are still with him.

But they had a collective freakout over Jade Helm.

Surely cougars wouldn't eat my face.

[–] fletcher_bosom@lemmy.world 21 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

The phrase is "leopards ate my face" but I like where your head is at ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 hours ago

I mean, I’m all for eating cougars…. Wait, what were we talking about?

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

I think I got it mixed up with "there aren't cougars on missions" from DarkViperAU's GTA5 streams.

[–] Flickerby@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 hours ago

It's a cult. You don't disagree with dear leader. That's the whole point of indoctrination. THEIR restrictive laws are evil and non constitutional. OUR restrive laws are for the good of everyone and backed by God.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 24 minutes ago

They don’t read. Literally every headline r/Conservative goes like this:

“Illegal Immigrant took all the jobs then raped and murdered 100 babies. Libtards protested his deportation by throwing rocks at cops”

The literally only see propaganda to make them scared of immigrants and liberals. They don’t actually see any news about things the administration actually does/says.

They won’t even know they have a double standard.

Guess that will be tested when a lawyer is told to scan their face.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 hours ago

If he wants to get back in the country he'll do it.

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 8 hours ago

Or maybe when they start denaturalizing and deporting judges that push back.

4th Amendment, fare thee well... Nice to have known you.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 32 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

4th Amendment doesn't even specify "citizens", it's "the people".

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

I'm sure they have a warrant to sieze your image, right? Um... right? 😉

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 13 points 6 hours ago

The most amazing, revolutionary thing about the Constitution was that its rights applied to everyone within its jurisdiction, not just citizens.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago

Everyone knows this random DHS document supercedes the constitution. All the best people are saying it

You can probably refuse not to make a Funny face

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 hours ago

They're fine with that, makes it more likely the app won't recognize you. And if the app doesn't recognize you then straight into the unmarked van never to be seen again.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Do all the things they tell you not to do on your passport and driver's license photos.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 4 points 8 hours ago

Please, Put your pants back on

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 30 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh so this document is the one with the real laws. All the other documents that say they can't do the things they are doing are invalid but we better respect this one! Or else

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Someone should tell the sovereign citizens that they finally found the real laws

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Just wear a mask like they do?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

I'm starting to think this is necessary. Don't use a scary mask like they do, a medical one is good enough, because you don't want to be the reason other people get sick. Or because you are at risk of getting sick. Or because you don't like the taste of boot.

Shades that cover a large area helps too.

Zenni makes a privacy coating that blocks IR cameras that normally see through sunglasses.

I spent a little extra on good Ray-Bans RX.

They hide a good area WHILE making me look like a fed in the right clothes and hat. It's really eerie.

[–] flynnguy@programming.dev 4 points 8 hours ago

It's starting to get cold where I'm at.... face coverings help keep you warm!

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

My 4a…

We should all wear masks just like they do.

Where is the national liberation party?

The U.S. Department of Defense quickly viewed biometric data and what it called “identity dominance” as the cornerstone of multiple counterterrorism and counterinsurgency strategies. Identity dominance means being able to keep track of people the military considers a potential threat regardless of aliases, and ultimately denying organizations the ability to use anonymity to hide their activities.

By 2004, thousands of U.S. military personnel had been trained to collect biometric data to support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. By 2007, U.S. forces were collecting biometric data primarily through mobile devices such as the Biometric Automated Toolset (BAT) and Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE). BAT includes a laptop, fingerprint reader, iris scanner and camera. HIIDE is a single small device that incorporates a fingerprint reader, iris scanner and camera. Users of these devices can collect iris and fingerprint scans and facial photos, and match them to entries in military databases and biometric watchlists.

The book First Platoon, while not the best book in the world, is pretty interesting and depressing on that subject. Might be worth an audiobook listen.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours ago

Someone should do this to the entire Trump staff when they trespass back in from their luxury vacation to Asia.
