The same party that didn’t arrest Trump even when it was an open and shut case of treason?
The same party that kept ICE funded?
The same one that called out Dubya’s surveillance program after they voted for it, and then tried to arrest Snowden?
The same party that allows border cages for ICE?
The same party that loudly said “we don’t need to defund the police, we need to fund the police!” in a state of the union adresss to bipartisan applause?
I’ll hope that the midterms and next nominee change these lack of action polices, but it seems like the suspected frontrunners are going to aim for the status quo of 2020, not pushing for a better 2028.
Yeah which is why I am actually torn. I’m not sure whether voting Democrat is actually beneficial at this point. The fastest way to defeat Republicans may not actually involve the Democratic Party at all. It may simply be something that requires a few election cycles. People don’t like to admit something so painful, but that may be the truth.
In retrospect, we would have been a lot better off if Hillary lost 60-40 in 2016 instead of just barely losing. This has allowed the DNC to pretend they can still field viable presidential candidates. In truth, voting for a Democrat right now is as futile as voting for the green party. Neither are going to win.
The democrats won the election before this one… to jump from that to it is impossible for them to win is a massive overreaction.
They won because of covid.
And theres no massive upheavel or challenges facing people now?
They won because people were stick and tired of Trump fucking things up as usual. Not just his pandemic response, but everything.
But the American electorate have the memories of goldfish, so they herp derped their way to the polling stations to vote for Trump to save them from the inflation that he caused during his first term.
Just going to point out that Trump didn’t gain much support between 2020 and 2024, the reason the Dems lost is cause their numbers didn’t hold. Acting like he had some type of popularity gain is misleading at best.
Don’t stop at the studs, ABOLISH ICE
I’m old enough to remember when the term ‘homeland security’ was too fashy-sounding to be taken seriously. We were fine without ICE, and weirdly enough, creating it hasn’t solved anything- if anything, the lies they tell to justify doing it more and harder have gotten more and more absurd.
It needs to be abolished and every person who has ever been employed there tried for their civil rights violations.
And tried for treason and only one sentence given.
How did we stop the SS?
Oh, right, armed intervention from other countries.
Please help.
Most people learn that WW2 ended with Hitler’s suicide or the bombings in Japan and leave it at that, like it’s the happy ending of a Hollywood movie.
However, the process of denazifying Germany after the war is an interesting read for anyone curious about what actually followed and what happened to the people.
I mean, sure, it’s a long road. But I don’t think the US is going to be able to begin to shake off this fascism without international aid

Liquidate it and every other shithole agency under homeland security, with the sole exception of the Coast Guard who really should be their own thing. If the job still needs doing a new organization can be built up and old elements retained and retrained if need be.
First, do not staff your new police force with untrained, anonymous gangsters who need to prove something to themselves. Let’s strive to be great in actions, not just hat logos and mere words.
Defund them completely. Then fund investigations of any criminality they committed.
When the day comes. No Mercy. Honestly. Germany didn’t do well enough and that fascist racist scum of human DNA is on their way up.
That shit Nazis never have been gone. They we’re Just a silent minority.
Have No Mercy, as they don’t have.

I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried “HELP ME” and pled for her child.
Good thing those of us that saw this coming spent a decade getting called naïve and hysterical for saying “abolish ice”… by Democrats.
Does anyone realistically see Dem’s shutting down ICE? I doubt if they’d even try an de-nazi the agents. They will have someone write a memo and let the cancer fester.
They would have to win first, which isn’t a big priority right now. But yeah I would think they’d just quietly pare it down and leave some of the worst bits intact, like we’ve seen with the last two Democratic administrations inheriting evil things.

I’d like to see every ICE agent have it forcibly tattooed on their face so that for the rest of their lives they will never be able to hide what they are.
Lives? Should end with only one sentence, and that’s not it.
Hey Americans held two protests on weekends. I’m sure that will make fascists change their tune.
