Many people I know agree with deporting illegal immigrants and see it as a problem that had been simply ignored for far too long. I found an article talking about deportation flights as early as 2023 (I'll try to find and link it here, and here's one from 2024) so it's not brought on by the Trump admin, but he greatly expanded the scale and publicity.

There are disagreements though, mostly with how it's being carried out. If the agents are unidentifiable as feds some day someone is going to fight back, or a third party will intervene thinking they are getting mugged.

And there is a big lack of due process to make sure those arrested actually meet the criteria for deportation. No way they are all 100% legit with no mistakes. If everything is legit more due process and transparency shouldn't be an issue if your case is solid.

State govts can mobilize their national guard. The guard is the only military component that can be "deployed" on American soil for combat or civil support like riot control or disaster relief

Active duty and reserve bases exist in the US of course but are generally forbidden from being used for combat operations or enforcing domestic policies on US soil. It's called Posse Comitatus

Idk why but when I see deleted by creator I think it's funny to imagine God personally zapping it from existence but they still leave that so everyone knows it was them

Anybody know if you can do this on boost?

I like it because I'm less likely to vote just because others have upvoted it. I'm more honest with what I actually like and dislike

I believe that is a factor, who wouldn't want to rule their own little kingdom? And nobody wants that more than a jerk that thinks they are better than everyone

But really I think it's gold rush style greed. Whoever gets a settlement on Mars will want to make it a truck stop to help anyone trying to explore deeper reaches of space and make ridiculous money for a long, long time

If you can assemble and launch rockets on mars instead of Earth you can do waaay more because you're only fighting 1/3 of gravity for each launch so you get more fuel/cargo/range

It it was my choice I would try to learn the language of the culture I'm most interested in

If you flush once and it doesn't go down no problem, if you (or someone you know) tries to flush again no water will leave but the toilet valve tries to fill the bowl more.

So step one is to stop a potential flood of nasty water from overflowing to the floor

What could be more indicative of a thirst for power and control than a perfectly level, uniform expanse of grass? Clearly, only someone with fascist tendencies would aspire to such impeccable orderliness, attempting to impose their oppressive standards on nature itself. Because nothing says "I want to dominate the world" quite like the pursuit of a weed-free lawn.

Consider the process of maintaining a lawn. It's essentially an exercise in subjugation. Mowing down innocent blades of grass week after week, enforcing a uniform height – it's like a tiny dictatorship being played out in your front yard. And let's not even mention the chemical warfare that goes on behind the scenes – those pesticides and fertilizers are the secret tools of aspiring autocrats, seeking to eliminate any form of diversity (read: weeds) in their quest for homogeneity.

But the plot thickens when we consider the boundary lines. The quintessential white picket fence, meticulously aligned with the driveway, serves as a clear metaphor for the barriers these so-called "lawn fascists" wish to erect between themselves and the rest of the world. Heaven forbid a dandelion or, heaven forbid, a clover should breach these sacred borders! It's not just a lawn, it's a fortified buffer zone against any hint of dissenting plant life.

And let's talk about the water consumption. While the rest of us worry about global water shortages and environmental sustainability, these lawn-loving authoritarians are apparently convinced that the well-being of their turf is of paramount importance. Are they hoarding water to fuel their nefarious plans for world domination? It wouldn't be surprising – every power-hungry despot needs a well-hydrated base of operations.

In conclusion, the evidence is irrefutable: anyone with a lawn is a fascist. The quest for a pristine lawn represents a disturbing desire for control, uniformity, and domination over the natural world. So, the next time you see a neatly trimmed yard, just remember – behind that innocent facade of green lies a potential dictator in the making, plotting to impose their authoritarian rule, one well-timed sprinkler cycle at a time.
