        Hey now! There are plenty of nice ghouls. Gob is great! Republicans are feral ghouls.

        Edit: on a side note, I used to have a perpetual kitten that chose her name. The name she chose was Mikey Wazowski

      They do what the average conservative everywhere does: Convince themselves that most people secretly agree with what they are doing. They truly and honestly believe over two thirds of the country want them to do that.

      That’s why they keep talking about conspiracies involving someone controlling elections, the government etc. because reality doesn’t match up with their views. And they don’t think they can be wrong, so they conclude that it has to be some shadow organization that is going against the people.

      It’s also why they keep talking about themselves as if they are revolutionary fighters going against a great evil.

      Well, that kid’s mom had tattoos, which makes her part of a criminal gang. If the kid didn’t want to be deported, they should have represented themselves in court.

      Is a thing that I’ve legitimately heard reich-wing proto-nazis say.

    I’m deadly serious here as a British person … what the fuck is wrong with you people? Your country’s been taken over by a fucking fascist, and half of you are clapping like seals.

    This is disgusting, and you need to know we don’t see you as two political parties over here. We see America as America. You’re all doing this.

    Stop saying but the right wing and fucking do something about it. If it was here, we would have hung them all by now.

      If you want to get real about it, the short answer: it’s too early.

      If you look at every successful ousting of a corrupting party in modern history, it never starts with pitchforks or guns this early. Start too early, and they have a reason to suspend the laws in effect that are slowing them down. In essence, if one of them gets killed, thousands of US citizens are killed, or worse, just to prove a point.

      Second, you have to allow them time to erode any popular support they may have. As noted above, going too hard too early gives them a chance to pull a Hitler and do a “SEEEE??? WE NEED TO STOP THEM ALL!!! I WAS RIGHT!”. Not the best place to start when something like 30% of the population may be diehard (literally) supporters. Shit will go south for everyone super fast.

      Lastly, every element in this group is already doing the hard part for the rest of us: proving they are absolutely incapable of running a country. The more that people see this and come to understand and detach from that alignment is a good thing.

      The bad part of all it: it takes time. Just making a dramatic point isn’t going to change minds. Allowing these woefully incapable and idiotic pieces of shit to ruin an entire country’s lives may unfortunately be what it’s going to take before the military folks step away from them, their supporters, businesses, and as much as I fucking hate to say it, his billionaire buddies who all belong in prison right now. They all need to detach from that teat first before any meaningful and drastic movements can be made.

        That’s actually a very good point mate I think he might already be aiming for the ss bit faster than you can react though might have to do preemptive action to at least slow the process.

        One thing I feel is lacking is an organised resistance I see aoc on tv and it looks great but the rest of her party are mostly shit.

          Why do you think he pardoned all the J6 people?

          He plans to deputize them at some point and let them run wild. He won’t try to invoke military control at first, because every nation that has the ability will wipe them out faster than they can react. Again, these people are dumb as hell.

      As a US person, all I’ve wanted to do is kill myself or do something drastic while doing it.

      Why haven’t I? I don’t want my life to be a giant politcal statement. I don’t want to be responsible for the millions of people in the US, and the billions around the globe. I don’t want to make a mistake and inadvertly ruin my family’s life. I’m a 20 year old college student who was naively interested in electronics, only to see the tech industry is just as vile as real life.

      I’m scared, I’m anxious, and I’ll admit that I’m a massive bitch. I guess I leave this comment behind because I don’t know what to do with these feelings, but I know that if I keep playing ignorant and stay silent that things will only get worst.

      If this were to happen in England, I’d hope you would all hang them too. But I would understand if you don’t, because we’re all human, and I’d still like to be empathetic in these very hard times.

      Per the report, “One mother who was about to be deported was allowed less than two minutes on the phone with her husband to figure out what would become of her 2-year-old U.S. citizen son,” while one of the other mothers “wasn’t allowed to speak with attorneys or family members before she was deported, accompanied by her U.S.-born children,” despite ICE agents knowing the child had stage 4 cancer.

      according to the lawyers, their families weren’t given a choice, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stalled their efforts to make arrangements for the children, ensuring they would be sent away with their mothers.

      So… Can you refute the accounts of this happening, or are you just slurping down orange dick and gargling out an excuse for it later?

          It’s Lemmy. You’re literally out here supporting orange hitler and supporting the most cruel politically motivated persecutions and relocation of people on behalf of the US since the slave trade ended.

          Turns out, the fediverse is not a monolith.

          You actually think that you’re the only Lemmy user who is “like you” and that everyone else here is a communist?

          Talk about a persecution complex.
