      If Mamdani gets stripped of his citizenship (on the basis of being a communist) and gets removed from power, he’d be a comrade plant for all intents and purposes and I hope people wouldn’t be weird ultras about it

        Lot of Democrats supported the laws allowing the executive branch to strip citizenship. What worldview would One have to have not realizing we would have future executive branches that would not be trustworthy with this power?

        But as far as they’re concerned that would be a good thing so far.

            The lawmakers that passed laws in recent history of both parties giving the Executive Branch the unilateral power to strip a naturalized citizen of citizenship were short-sighted.

            Even though the ones who did vote for that would relish mamdami being stripped of citizenship almost as much as all of the anti-israel protesters they are talking of denaturalizing.

              two rightwing parties collaborating to play good cop/bad cop with deportations isn’t short-sighted, it’s just Western Government working as intended

                The good cop actors think so anyway. Bad cop is now playing King of the Hill, the hitler variant.

                Somehow they just do not realize that yet, thinking it is all performative and the conservatives will not follow through on fixing elections and Locking up their opponents and critics and Subordinating the media.

                Which will happen in the UK as well. And france, italy, spain, germany, the netherlands, etc. Unless they becomes some popular reform option that is not the far right supported by hostile foreign actors like Russia in the United States.
