    oh really people are being rounded up? Do we have documented evidence of this claim? And the camps are being built? What type of camps are they? Death camps? Gas chambers? Torture institutions, what are talking about here?

    And to be fair, some of the immigration shit is really bad, Guantanamo bay for example, but we’ve done similar shit in the past, the japanese during ww2 for example. The US didn’t implode the second that one happened.

    All checks have been removed

    the checks are literally proceeding against the current administration in power. You’re literally stupid if you aren’t aware of this, it’s been all over the news.

    but we haven’t technically gone over it so you’re arguing semantics?

    yeah, because the bus could stop. Or like, turn. Literally anything could happen in between the cliff and now, but for some reason everybody seems to think the only option is death, and they don’t even want to do anything about it, they just want to mope about it online.

    It’s been just over a month with no sign of slowing down, on pace to beat Hitler’s record of 50-odd days.

    yeah that’s literally what they want you to think, they want you to be overwhelmed and for you to give up, it gives them a sense of power, when in reality, ever order trump has given has been returned with a lawsuit, DOGE is making up numbers that are literally unaccounted for, and the trump admin is a bumbling mess that can’t even engage in basic diplomacy.

    But you’re chilling because the judicial system (which has already proved toothless against Trump) has a bunch angry letters floating around…

    i’m chilling because nothing devastating has happened yet, maybe the power and water gets shut off nation wide, i’ll be concerned about it, but until then, i have better efforts to focus my time on.

      All of this summarized: you’re complacent.

      You haven’t personally seen your friend taken by ICE. You’re not aware of the location, number, and scale of the camps and aren’t bothered by a few legal residents already being swept up.

      Did you know the camps in Germany were built for the same reason? Can’t ship out undesirables fast enough so we’ll just put them all here. We’ll give them some work to do as well to keep them productive. It’s getting a little too full and expensive, let’s feed them sawdust and add gas chambers. Hey, run a few inhumane medical experiments as well, why not.

      The checks are not working. Injunctions are being ignored: funding is still being withheld and jobs are not being reinstated.

      Yes, a lot of things can happen to the bus. But if you’re not fighting to take the wheel from the maniac you see then all as acceptable outcomes. What “better efforts” can you possibly put above this?

      Being aware, organizing, resisting and preparing are not the same thing as moping. Did you participate in the economic protest today or did you have better things to do?
