Have the Americans, (Canadians, Australians) not been educated about history? WWII? Your grandfathers fought and died in the trenches in WWII to save you from fascism. THEY FOUGHT AND DIED. WTF??
Thank you, UltraGIGaGigantic, for this information. I was completely unaware. So, I guess hate is just part of the human experience.
Yeah, honestly the US really didn’t want to take sides. A shocking number of Americans supported Hitler. But then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and that sort of unified the country to fight on the anti-fascism (antifa, for short) side of the war.
Wow. Kind of like the conservatives were WAY ahead in Canada, until Trump started talking about annexing our country. Suddenly we were united. I read somewhere that the only way humans would unite is if there was a common threat, like a huge asteroid heading for us that would annihilate the human race. We would work together. But after the threat was gone, I’m sure we would just revert back to our awful, hateful, human condition. Humans truly are a cancer.
Have you by chance read the comic Watchmen?
I touched in on it a bit during my studies :)
Don't forget the New Guard in Australia, who put on a big show at the opening of the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge

I just don’t understand. What the Nazis did to people, to children? What the US is doing to people, to children? Sending innocent people to an El Salvador prison. I don’t understand why anyone would vote for this.
They are GIDDY with appreciation. It's a saying now with the Trump nuts I work with. ''Hope they send him to El Salvador'' whenever someone cuts them off. The cruelty is the point. No more being scared or intimidated by brown people, they no longer have human rights!
My great-grandfather was there on D-Day.
A good portion of his descendants are hard Trump supporters and are pro-nationalism and pro-fascism.
Glad he's not around to see his family literally turn and support the very things he fought against.
It’s always been part of the human experience. Some wacko decides they’re going to control the world.
And the police, like the little lapdogs they are, will happily stomp on people’s rights for a chance to cosplay war
What did you expect? They've been doing exactly that for their whole history.
The governors have to allow it. The federal government cannot mobilize the military in a state unless the governor of that state allows it. Posse Comitatus, if Trump attempts to send in the military against the governors wishes, we are talking civil war levels of federal vs state's rights. I hope state militias are ready to defend themselves.
What consequences for breaking the laws that enforce rules like those have have been applied so far to this administration?
We'll see what happens with the new yes men in place. However, there was a DoD wide email that went out when he first started snatching people (though some didn't get it for some reason). It stated:
Think long and hard before assisting other agencies outside the DoD. If your actions are deemed to be against your oath, you could be investigated and actions taken against you. Remember, you serve the constitution of the United States. Not the president.
Wa state has just passed a law stating that other state's national guard, cannot enter our borders to take any actions. I would bet that that would include military personnel stationed in state.
The Governors? Seriously? SCOTUS has no power. Innocent people, like Abrego Garcio, are being erroneously being deported to hellscape.
Edit for spelling
if the governors don't allow it. ICE could arrest them per E.O.
ICE would have to battle the governor's security. ICE doesn't have the stones to go up against people who aren't essentially terrified and helpless.
$100 he declares martial law in those cities.
Put it this way. If some good ole boys show up in my neighborhood. The Nortenos will probably deal with them before they even get set up.
I thought for a moment he invited the village people to the White House….
Building a corrupt police state one EO at a time.
Always fucking has been.
Militarize the police
It wasn't yet? US police has fucking tanks and mraps, it is already militarized, just without the training and restraint
Clearly they need cybertrucks and Hugo Boss uniforms
