Nice, by the book. The fascist admin guide as seen in most of Europe, recently

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?

Dammit! Foiled by racists once again!

........you'd think I'd put /s, but no.

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.

Are you under the impression that the founding fathers weren't slave holders themselves?

This dystopia is starting to heat up 😬

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!

I remember that. He would usually say martial law. I think national emergencies are different and invoked more often by both Dems and GOP. Could be wrong

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I don't remember that actually. I'm not saying he didn't say those things. I'm just saying that I never listened to a word that mouth breather said.

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.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 8 points 2 hours ago

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 13 points 8 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).
