"Americans are currently experiencing negative side effects". Oh, no! Really? Has your house been obliterated by bombing? Do you still have water, electricity, a roof over your head? Do YOU, idiomaddict, know how you're going to feed your children tonight??

    Do you want to read my comment again? Or maybe extend that quote just a little to not act in bad faith?

    “[they’re] experiencing negative side effects, but they’re by no means the primary victims.” Then I compared the US to Nazi Germany and said calling them victims was offensive.

    Fascism eventually turns inward and hurts the people who brought it into power. By that point it has been oppressive to everyone around them, as well as those who have resisted, for a long time.

    OldCrow, I am personally terrified for my family who are all a demographic targeted by ICE, but I don’t live in the US. Should I ask about your children now or can we stay on topic?
