This is what it is to live in a Nazi country
Arm yourself
Expect that when they come for youu, you aren’t coming back.
My mom and I are at least two that I know of
rule number 1 on this sub needs to get fucked.
My daycare closed for a day so they could get their passports “just in case”. This shit is infuriating.
I am involved with a youth organization with my kids. We’re a very diverse group and so several of my kids friends are very precarious right now. I know at least one who carries 5 forms of ID everywhere outside of his house.
Monsters are running this country,
1/4 is like 85 million people. some people are saying they aren’t concerned since they’re citizens but given what Trump has done, that can be stripped away at literally any moment
they aren’t concerned because they are psychoticly evil and utterly selfish cunts.
if you send those to CECOT the US will be actually a great place to be
Meanwhile, I’m concerned about actual citizens being deported.
We can be concerned about anyone being deported
they aren’t concerned since they’re citizens
I have a some very close friends who are Venezuelan. They all claim they aren’t worried because they are citizens, but I’m not so sure. The MAGA Nazis don’t respect Birthright Citizenship, they certainly aren’t going to respect naturalization.
Bottom line: If you were born somewhere else, they want you gone.
If that’s the bottom line, the fine print is that the elected American government wants you gone if you aren’t white. They don’t need to work on that layer yet.
Donald Trump could use the N-word on TV tomorrow and it would be accepted.
Hispanic people voting for Trump in 2024 will go down in history as the modern equivalent of the historical “Jews for Hitler” movement.
ICE has deported at least 70 US citizens (Source) The actual number could be wayyyy higher though
That was just from Trump’s first term. Fuck.
I left because I knew they’d be coming for me sooner rather than later. I’m a trans immigrant. I honestly kinda regret my citizenship because it’s keeping me chained to the reich even from abroad.
Were all immigrants.
And birthright citizenship is under attack too.
A cousin and a friend. Yeah, it crosses my mind.
Every time I hear sirens, I feel scare af, thinking its the gestapo.
I’m a naturalized citizen btw, but I still don’t feel safe (I’m not white).
I’m white AF, and my family has been here since the 1650s on one side, and 1720s on the other side. We literally funded a decent portion of the revolution. I’m still scared. They are coming for everyone that isn’t them.
Don’t worry, they won’t arrive in uniforms with sirens. They’ll arrive silently in masks.
Hell, even birthright citizens aren’t safe if they are perceived as non-white.
I have a friend from the Philippines who is in school to be a nurse. When this started, she was scared this was going to affect students which did end up being true later.
Anyone who thinks that protesting will stop this is an idiot. Hypothetically, if you wanted to stop this, either you put on a FULL ON general strike, not 200,000 people, but 20 million. Or you go and get your guns, and start driving the fuck over to your state capitol, or better yet, the WH.
It’s not just protesting though, we use it to train and organize people so later we can respond when the time comes. We need a diversity of tactics which is why I don’t criticize how people protest anymore, as long as you are causing good trouble then you are not the problem.
That is a sharp fucking rise for three months.
only a matter of time now til political opponents start falling out of windows.
I don’t think that’s really the style in the US, but I agree with the sentiment
In the US, what’s more likely is that they find some random accusation to pin on you Abrego Garcia-style and then just keep you in the legal system gauntlet by adding new charges as soon as the timer runs out for trial on the old ones.
Very much along the lines I was thinking of, yeah.
just wait. its coming.
I think it’s gonna be functionally the same, but it’s gonna take a different form, is my point.
Isn’t there a german word for it, blitzkrieg?
“Blitzkrieg” is literally “lightning war”, and just refers to the style of offense the Germans used against other European countries in WWII, which was largely responsible for their early military success.
Armies at that time relied on stationary positions and slow logistics, horse-drawn carriages for a large portion. The Germans just blitzed into France, through the Maginot line.
Which makes me wonder whether the current idea of MAD holding off war isn’t as deluded as relying on the Maginot line. I sure hope it isn’t.
Anyway this is more just fascism in general. A fast rise in authoritarianism. Not “war” in the classical sense, although it certainly is basically war.
Nearly everyone close to me voted for Trump. I fucking hope they get deported.
