Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Bit of a click-baity headline (though not your fault OP).
The sub-heading is clearer:
Saying you trust Trump is going to follow what hes says himself LUL
I just dont trust this administration to honestly go within those parameters. Suddenly anyone he doesnt like is an illegal immigrant.
Worse. If, for example, I, born and raised in the US and white as fuck, use a bank account to pay for Mexican food, and that business gets targeted by ICE because their racist pieces of shit, they could decide to close my bank account. They could say I was supporting illegal immigration.
Yes. But you don't even have to buy the Mexican food. There are infinitely many scenarios they can come up with for liberals to keep justifying the line moving.
These types of "reasons" are not the fascist "finding loopholes". It's just a means of keeping the illusion of the systems still operating. If the system is still operating then "we can take it back". It's for liberals to believe that if they were tarkets that they could "justice" their way out. That maybe they'll even be protected by their white privilege.
Fascist don't let you take it back using the system. When the midterms don't go well. We'll have liberals continue to fight to "fix the system". We'll get "justice for the voters" and lawsuits that go nowhere. We'll get a couple well intentioned politicians that speak out against the fascist. Allowed to speak only so long as they are needed to maintain the illusion of a fight. Spending the next two years moving the line with each step so we can pretend the system is still saveable.
Buy your Mexican food. If you're a target it won't matter what reason they use to justify taking you. Better than getting your lunch at a corporation that supports this.
fascist Republican administration does something evil and fascist
"Those goddamn fucking liberals"
Read a history book mate. I'm using history to understand the present. Hell, Wikipedia can help you. This isn't about shitting on individual people in this country that call themselves "liberals". This is about understanding how liberal democracy enables the rise of fascism and why it is insufficient in stopping it.

@WoodScientist Ok, I will remind you on Wednesday Nov 4, 2026 at 11:59 PM UTC.
Tomorrow: "President Trump accuses the Democratic Party of being in support of illegal immigration, attempts to shut down the bank accounts of all members."
why stop there? many entire cities... states, even.. have opposed this bullshit and now risk having their financial accounts drained by the dicktator in chief.
So if I am in support of immigration is my bank account going to be taken?
And with it all my debt??
No no, only your liquid cash gets taken- debt is privately held and will never go away.
Ha, good thing I only have credit and no liquid cash.
What about the accounts of Americans who donate to GoFundMe in support of immigrants?
Great question. The answer probably depends on this administration's whim.
Any protester supporting immigrants then?
