A million deaths are not enough for MAGA.
17% of democrats think abducting people to death camps is totally fine.
Fuck all of them.
More than 17% Those are just the ones who'll admit to it.
All those Dems clutching their pearls over "Defund ICE" posters are very happy to see Hispanics ethnically cleansed.
That's horrifyingly low
54 percent seems low.... Bad media literacy or wilful ignorance?
Both. Also the hate frenzy. Lots of people swept up in a hate frenzy
Well only 83% of Dems are critical of it. So 54% means a decent amount of Reps are critical, which is more than I would think.
Seems like the number is too low.
People have to remember the majority of Americans barely know wtf is going on in their own country. They aren't high-information like the kind of people on lemmy or reddit. They have no idea how bad it is yet.
Even though Trump is still underwater on immigration, it’s his highest performing issue.
Just like Netanyahu with the handling of Gaza. Lots of people approve. Some people think he's not going fascist enough.
That is just frighteningly upsetting
Good thing the Senate just voted to give ICE 200 billion dollars
Almost four times the Marines request for the budget. Why the fuck do they need that much money!? Oh right, ggrrrrriiiiffffttt!
More than just grift... this is the new militant wing of MAGA. They're a new branch of armed forces that operate entirely on our soil. We've got concentration camps opening, we've got a MASSIVELY funded brown-shirts, and dark tech civilian-profiling AI behind all that... This is pretty much my worst fears from last November coming to life.
I hope it turns out to be just a big embezzlement scheme like everything in the US.
It is a little bizarre those that were screaming about Obama's death camps are now cheering on Trump's Alligator Alcatraz. Truly propaganda, misinformation, public relations, etc. should be tightly regulated or just outright banned in order to have a functional society.
It’s actually Alligator Auschwitz
The fuck are these 17% Democrats who are down with tax dollars paying for masked badgeless plainclothes abductions into unmarked vehicles?
welcome to the wolfman constant. always assume any polling data over ~65% is an overwhelming majority and that ~75% or more effectively indicates "everyone with a functioning brain"
then think about that 95% of black women voted against this
And literally no one in DC will fight to stop them. Why you ask. Cause they are all corrupt and do not give a damn about people.
its actually specific people with names and phone numbers you can call and yell at https://www.newsweek.com/75-democrats-house-antisemitism-resolution-ice-gratitude-2083177
Their opinion doesn't count, as long as the big corporations and racist lobbyists are happy, the people's will means nothing.
The Trumpistan party doesn't intend to be elected ever again. That's their last attempt. They try to take the country by a coup now. They don't intend to face any votings, ever again. That's why they're acting like this.
Exactly, that's where I was trying to get to, is there a plan, general strike, mass protests to cripple the country? Or is it going to be a wimper into the goodnight..
Project 2025 had martial law as one of the final or near final steps. We're almost there.
When all the madness started I was reminded of an 80's movie called Red Dawn. Although this isn't a traditional invasion, I'm quite dissapointed in Americans response so far.
You just made me feel old.
GenX old :)
The problem is that last one:
The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government’s deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.
How far can "violent" and "conviction" be stretched in order to justify wrongful deportations?
Well, peaceful protests are considered violent. Disagreeing with Trump is considered a mental illness. And supporting Palestine is considered anti-American. Sooo, basically we're all targets.
When you are talking about a survey, the "how far" is specific to each person. So it is a bad question. But no matter how Donny interprets it, the answer to the "have they gone too far" tells you Donnys interpretation is too far for the majority.
Get used to it. They’re coming after natural born citizens next, and the courts will allow it. Congress will continue to do nothing.
They did do something. They passed the big beautiful bill that has funding for more ice detention centers and expansions.
3 times the budget for the Marines. Crazy
How the hell is it only 83% of Democrats?
Doesn’t matter what the polls say, they and Donny could have -100% support and they would still arrest your ass because of a meme you posted or what ethnicity your great great great grandfather was.
Stop complaining about it and start lining them up for curb stomping wherever you see them, you know, as a community.
Also, fuck your violence rules bullshit - nazis aren’t people, I’m basically suggesting we curb stomp a cancerous growth.
And before some of you geniuses start claiming I’m the same as them - first, go fuck yourself. Second, I hate them based on their world view - a malleable thing they are in control of. Not their race, not their hair color, not their parents country of origin.
Nazi lives do not matter, kill em when you can if you can get away with it.
Show, don't tell.
More than fair. Working on my community organizing skills as a start.
