1/4 is like 85 million people. some people are saying they aren't concerned since they're citizens but given what Trump has done, that can be stripped away at literally any moment
I have a some very close friends who are Venezuelan. They all claim they aren't worried because they are citizens, but I'm not so sure. The MAGA Nazis don't respect Birthright Citizenship, they certainly aren't going to respect naturalization.
Bottom line: If you were born somewhere else, they want you gone.
I left because I knew they'd be coming for me sooner rather than later. I'm a trans immigrant. I honestly kinda regret my citizenship because it's keeping me chained to the reich even from abroad.
Were all immigrants.
And birthright citizenship is under attack too.
A cousin and a friend. Yeah, it crosses my mind.
Every time I hear sirens, I feel scare af, thinking its the gestapo.
I'm a naturalized citizen btw, but I still don't feel safe (I'm not white).
I'm white AF, and my family has been here since the 1650s on one side, and 1720s on the other side. We literally funded a decent portion of the revolution. I'm still scared. They are coming for everyone that isn't them.
Don't worry, they won't arrive in uniforms with sirens. They'll arrive silently in masks.
Hell, even birthright citizens aren't safe if they are perceived as non-white.
I have a friend from the Philippines who is in school to be a nurse. When this started, she was scared this was going to affect students which did end up being true later.
Anyone who thinks that protesting will stop this is an idiot. Hypothetically, if you wanted to stop this, either you put on a FULL ON general strike, not 200,000 people, but 20 million. Or you go and get your guns, and start driving the fuck over to your state capitol, or better yet, the WH.
That is a sharp fucking rise for three months.
Isn't there a german word for it, blitzkrieg?
"Blitzkrieg" is literally "lightning war", and just refers to the style of offense the Germans used against other European countries in WWII, which was largely responsible for their early military success.
Armies at that time relied on stationary positions and slow logistics, horse-drawn carriages for a large portion. The Germans just blitzed into France, through the Maginot line.
Which makes me wonder whether the current idea of MAD holding off war isn't as deluded as relying on the Maginot line. I sure hope it isn't.
Anyway this is more just fascism in general. A fast rise in authoritarianism. Not "war" in the classical sense, although it certainly is basically war.
Nearly everyone close to me voted for Trump. I fucking hope they get deported.
The videos all over the internet expose everything. I can't imagine what it looks like from a normal country on the outside.
Horrifying and you are all apparently just complaining about on social media ( yes there have been a few protests, big whoop)
I protest once a month on a sunny Saturday that I don't have errands or TV to catch up on.
TIL 3 out of 4 Americans need to get out more.
I mean 2 out of 4 believe the other 2 should be deported. 1 of those 2 don’t know that someone is trying to deport them. That’s the current state of America and how Trump got elected.
yeah but all 3 just don't realize someone they know will get deported. first they came for the socialists, and all that.
The socialists weren't even the first people they came for
what
Most of them are in denial. Every time I bring it up to my friends they're all like "yeah, but they won't come after me."
You will need to keep that hand iced. Maybe splint at night. If the skin breaks, get an ACE wrap.
Sorry, that sounds like a possibly risky amount of slapping you've been up to lately, especially if you've been (like most of us) in a low or no-slap lifestyle up until now.
