But measles carries a significant risk serious long-term illness or death, unlike the vaccine. And when everyone has the vaccine, very few people get the disease due to herd immunity, which worked fine for decades. Why can these people not hold two facts in their mind at the same time?

How about talking to Chuck Schumer about the concept of not being an utter coward?

Imprison and enslave in another country. For the rest of their lives, with no due process and no evidence of having done anything illegal.

CECOT prisoners do not receive visits and are never allowed outdoors. The prison does not offer workshops or educational programs to prepare them to return to society after their sentences.

...

Bukele’s justice minister has said that those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.

The Trump administration has not identified the migrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the U.S.

Hey, they might hold a small sign or wear a special color for an afternoon. Sure to bring the new Nazis down, just like it did for Hitler.

Why would they pretend? If no one enforces the law the fascists will just revel in its impotence.

Even so, endless fascism is still even worse. They won't go willingly, and they won't respect election results. Leave it too long and it will be as difficult as overthrowing Hitler or the USSR. Actually more difficult, because those regimes faced actual opposition from abroad, whereas now it feels like the whole world is going fascist.

It actually does, but it supports other people too. That's the bit they can't stand.

We’ll have to see if it’s enough to help tip the scales.

If Trump and Musk have their way, November 2024 was the last time they will be using scales.
