When again are americans using their right to bear arms to protect themselves against an authoritarian government? If you dont do it now never again use this argument for the second amendment.

If we go by the text, only "americans" have that right. Now, the important question is "what is an american"? What characterizes a "non-american" according to the founding fathers?

White male wealthy supremacists?

I don't doubt that is how the current supreme court would interpret it. This approach of asking "how the founding fathers would think" results in exclusion of non-white citizens. On the other hand, lack of atandardized identification documents in the USA result in this mess.

Hey, anybody remember 12ish years ago when Alex Jones' worst fear was that Obama was going to use executive power to order the military to be deployed on American soil, violating Posse Comitatus, to massively round up and inter a bunch of Americans in FEMA reducation / death camps?

Anyone?

No one?

Whoo boy, growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household where I was the only one to go to college and everyone else became a Q Anon zombie sure was fuuuunnnnn!

Undocumented Immigrants Contribute Nearly $100 Billion in Taxes a Year

If he actually succeeds in doing this, guess who’s going to be made to fill in that hole.

This is step one to collapsing Social Security and Medicare.

Knee cap all the funding from folks who never collect on it, then say, see? It’s collapsing earlier than we thought.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

The funny part is that that is still likely less that a bus load of billionairs actually paying their taxes like the rest of us do.

Kids that aren’t even born yet (debt spending).

So he's gonna do what Biden shouldve done about the fucking MAGAts. It's our patriotic duty to kill every goddamn one of those Nazi pieces of shit and yes that means your trump-loving mother

Trump thinks that the best way to avoid the last of the NY state trial is to create chaos and violence until we cry uncle.

How are people going to be selected for deportation? This feels eerily like what Hitler started doing with Jews.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

It's a pretext. And can expand to anyone the state doesn't want around.

Deportation doesn't have to be immediate, you could end up in a cage indefinitely.

Portland Oregon was a sneak preview of what Trump will do (Sending federal resources where they are explicitly not wanted, and kidnapping citizens)

We tried to tell folks, but "Haris supports genocide!" won.
