Liberals do care about aesthetics, so to be fair, I really don't think it would be this bad under the Dems right now. But the problem is they contributed to this atmosphere by joining in the Trump campaign and demonizing immigrants. Instead of saying it wasn't a problem, they were saying we'll solve it better than those guys.

The funny thing is Trump campaign also cares about aesthetics but in the opposite way. Even if it's less effective in reducing crime or unemployment, Trump supporters want to see their government out there terrorizing people in huge fascistic displays, as opposed to the quiet behind the scenes deportations of Biden. Trump signals he's listening to his supporters in this way while the Dems are constantly telling their supporters to shut up, we're working on it in the back room with the experts. "We're serious people and thus work slow and steady." It's stupid and horrifying, but Trump is making their government do things in big flashy ways that make headlines.

It probably wouldn't be this bad, but mainly because they probably wouldn't be patrolling stormtroopers around in major cities to intimidate everyone, just deporting people quietly, and it sucks that they apparently didn't put a single barrier up to slow down the next Trump, which turned out to be Trump. It's hardly even a vote for harm reduction.

It's the same point as going skiing on an extreme rated slope. It's about adrenaline, an experience, making yourself the movie badass, using expensive as shit stuff to horrify and intimidate other human beings and getting off on your power over them, your power to make them feel fear. Plus the brass thinks it looks cool and tough and military-like and sends their hog base squealing with joy over this kind of military attack on the sub-humans they hate.

Can confirm first hand that rappelling is fun... Like I said, they're doing it for fun while that inflict terror.

I remember my lib friends told me he said he'd actually use the police to stop ICE, or use his powers in some way, but they seem to have called his bluff and he's not doing anything. It's like the stupid boats that accompanied the flotilla.

They usually kept german political prisoners in a bit better conditions than poles/soviets/other europeans in the camps, but probably not the trains themselves.

Dang I never thought about it but you are probably right; I know they racially stratified the camps why wouldn't they do it on the train cars too?

/ "¿Dónde estamos?" / "Não faço idéia. Acho que estão falando francês." / "Verdad... Senegal?" / "Sei lá... Mauritânia?" / "Mejor preguntarlos, no? Ellos parecen tan confundidos cuanto nosotros." / "Você sabe francês?" / "No, lo sabes tu?" / "Irmão, eu não sei nem espanhol direito." / "Tampoco yo lo se portugués pero acá estamos..." /
