Literally what Stalin did.

Gulags at least had trials. Our system isn't even bothering to do that.

Turns out the sham trials were the excessive part.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 23 hours ago

Well... if you look a the history of the US you COULD argue that most of its inhabitants are offspring of illegal immigrants, sooo....

[-] [email protected] 21 points 23 hours ago

I can't get over just how short sighted MAGA is... They give the president this power like it will never be used against them by the next Democrat president.

You think that after the changes made to the voting systems, the SAVE voting act, the firing of people at CISA responsible for election safety and security, and the migration of the voting devices to Starlink (even with orage mussilini and muskrat falling out) that there's ever going to be a Democratic president again? I wish I had your optimism. That's if a state of emergency/war isn't called that halts all elections, which is far more likely to be what happens.

Plus, the Democrats will just play good and "not stoop to the opposition's level", letting them just get creamed and steamrolled again in the following election, even if they do somehow manage to win. The Democrats had a chance to fight facism and they welcomed it with open arms. Without turning over nearly the entirety of the party, why does anyone think anything is ever going to change?

The supreme court gave total immunity to the president while Biden was president. He didn't use it a single time.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago

If democrats ever had a candidate willing to whip his balls out and do something aggressively for a change.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago

Like how Biden had Trump killed in 2024.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 23 hours ago

You think the democrats would actually do that? They’d make a big deal about how they won’t do that, because they are cowards. The only spine they ever grow is when their corporate owners tell them to. Other than that, they care about nothing but maintaining the status quo.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

Probably not, but one can hope

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I mean you can but it's foolish. What has the democratic party done to deserve your hope other than not be Trump?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

That’s fair

[-] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Funny thing is. Republicans allow their red-ass state legislatures to gerrymander their districts, while democrats act so high and nobel implementing their "non-partisan" commissions to "draw fair districts".

The house is forever skewed in favor of the right wing unless democrats play dirty and also gerrymander the shit out of those seats.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, I hate gerrymandering but the notion that the Democrats should unilaterally disarm is very stupid.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

They tried in New York the last time the maps were redrawn. If Dems really wanted to gerrymander New York, they could likely win every single district.

The courts shot that one down, and now New York is just heavily favored to Dems. The House would be majority Dems right now if not for that alone.

next up: calling it a "concentration camp" is grounds to have your citizenship revoked

[-] [email protected] 94 points 1 day ago

Imagine getting murdered by the regime for saying "alligator auschwitz"

[-] [email protected] 81 points 1 day ago

take it seriously. fascist regimes wont' tolerate criticism, or mockery, or pointing out how fucking evil they are. the direction we're rapidly mimicking is north korea. btw fun fact: it's illegal to call it "north korea" in north korea; it's "democratic people's republic of korea," and south korea isn't called south korea, it's called "puppet regime"

"that could never happen in america!!!" too many people are still saying

while it's literally happening

“If you have one group of people who feels very comfortable that their citizenship is secure, they will feel much more comfortable being politically active,” she said. “And if you have another group of people who worries that if their political activity gets on the wrong side of somebody in power, that their lives and livelihoods might be vulnerable — that is a lesser citizenship. That is a reason why people might step back from political participation.”

And there it is, reduce resistance little by little, then eliminate everyone.

Second amendment looking like the only alternative.

Traitors, all of them.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

But I thought they were only going after people in the country illegally, I thought they were okay with immigration as long as they followed legal processes (sarcasm)

[-] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago

They even made us memorize this one in grade school:

  1. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Note that this says nothing about having to be a citizen for this to apply to you, either. And while we're at it, see also this.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago

Well you see, congress isn't making a law, the executive branch is just doing blatantly illegal shit with impunity, because congress is full of spineless coward sellouts

Those who gain citizenship through unlawful means and endanger our national security will not maintain the benefits of being an American citizen

Lmao... Benefits? What exactly are those benefits? Not being on the receiving end of a bombing? Not having our country destabilized by a narcissist (we don't even get that benefit anymore). Having healthcare taken away? A secret police force take you away for wrongthink? Lol benefits of being an American....

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

Bruh what do you mean the best American benefit is living in a 3rd world country while giving your taxes to hardworking billionaires who use it to control you and blowing up brown kids in the Middle East

This administration is traitorous and needs to be removed immediately. They are enemies of the American people and the American States themselves.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It’s not just the administration. Every republican, and many democrats in congress anre also supporting this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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.

That's all the rules!
