A Boring Dystopia

I had the same thought, this is so peak lib.

You’re there with the guy, and you have a court ruling saying facilitate his return. Do that, by cuffing him to yourself, and demanding they let you both walk away. El Salvador don’t want heat from abducting a US statesman.

But no, this is just a photo op it seems.

*pickaxe

They only say he was wrongly deported (kidnapped) under oath.

He has a legal status similar to refugee, but not technically the same because he didn’t apply for asylum within a year of entering.

So yeah, not an illegal alien. Legal resident.

Yeah I see that pic pop up a lot but I have yet to see the news about a huge shout-out between ice and immigrants

Part of how you know that no one they send there is going to actually be a gang member or terrorist or anything like that. Those guys wouldn't be going without a fight. And with no due process and no chance of ever getting out, it's not like they have anything to lose.

Yeah it’s just full on dystopia

I think they mean Garcia isn't coming back, not the Senator.

As is evident in damn near every Trump social media post, they're not big on things like clarity in writing, grammar, proper use of capitalization, correct punctuation or things as simple as a fucking paragraph.

This is what they want. See, Trump is utterly destroying America's economy and nucleus of global hegemony. The people are in for increasingly tough circumstances as China just stops trading with America, and all previous allies start to shun the country. Trump is trying to grow the US military to start his fascist wars of conquest both south and north. This will also put the people in increasingly dire circumstances, both with the massive amount of death involved in such a conflict and in the mass reallocation of resources towards war efforts. He can't talk about those things openly to the people because he'd have to admit their lives are going to get significantly worse. So, what can he do instead?

He can do the same thing he's been doing the entire time. Build a fervore for ethnic cleansing and eugencist racialist politics. The people are trained to lap it up without even thinking, and they get genuinely itchy for their next fix. Who's the minority we're hating today? Who's the person of color we're going to commit vile acts of cruelty on today? Where do I direct my homicidal rage at the threat to my inherent superiority today? This is how they are. Every single day, Fox News, Twitter, and the White House all come together to deliver. They fill the bowl, and the bigots heads are down gorging themselves on it while their own lives are horrifically torn apart around them.

It doesn't matter what else he's doing. He's fighting DEI. He's putting black people and women in their place. He's making immigrants, muslims, jews, and the queers afraid again. His support base is unyielding. We know they will never yield because fascists never do. Even decades after the end of World War 2, many former SS and former Nazi supporters STILL thought Hitler was sent from God and that everything he did was right. Even as Soviet bombs were falling on their heads. The ardent supporters of fascism will support it literally until they die. They loved that Hitler was committing genocide. They loved that he was cruel and inhuman. They admired how the image he portrayed so neatly fit with their patriarchal worldview. Its why they supported him to begin with. Economy this, nationalism that, but down to the line it was all about cruelty.

Are the people who support these kinds of tweets petty and childish? Absolutely they are. This isn't even about pettiness though. This is what they voted for. They voted for people of color to suffer. They voted for immigrants to suffer. If it came out tomorrow that he died in that hellhole they'd all cheer.

Remember when you have been 16 and you fell for every single rage bait there is on the internet, wasting your next 2-3 years on defending gaming and your virginity from SJWs and radical feminism?

Imagine you never grew out of that. That’s your modern day republican.

Childish and petty? Or "winning"?

I feel like a corner piece of the puzzle of MAGA is feeling like some how sending a brown Maryland father to El Salvador makes them feel better about their shitty lives. It's a superiority thing.

And some how Trump and Fox News have convinced them that they share in the victories of guys like Mush and Trump enriching themselves.

My mom said something completely asinine (and factually false) once.

"I'm way too successful to be a Democrat."

They're actually not.

A lot of them are, and definitely the ones online 24/7.

But trump having the actual official White House communicate like this does add up and will hurt Republican votes.

trump isoving to fast and it's what's gonna end up stopping it. It's why I hate when people act like trump is the problem, if he died today Vance takes over and they do the same evil shit, just smarter about it

99.9% of them, yes

In the terminally internet-bound, this has led to some consternation.

They want people to be scared and not fight back. We have strength in numbers and they know it.
