Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

Apparently it really is the case that anyone who isn't white is somehow unqualified.

So making America great again clearly means a return to the era of rampant racism (did that ever really go away?). And sexism. And ableism. Only this time it's going to be out in the wide open.

What's next?

  • Child labor?
  • Slavery?
  • Debtors' prisons?
  • Mental Institutions?
  • Orphans for "deformed" children?
  • Trail of Tears 2? (probably why he wants to annex Greenland and/or Canada)

This is gets more depressing as fuck every day.

He doesn't care about America, simple as that. He is a Russian asset that is dismantling the Government, he is selling you all out whilst distracting you all with news like this.

The USA is dead.

Florida is on it already.

Florida considers bill to roll back child labor laws to fill jobs once held by undocumented migrants

They want minors to work night shifts and encourage people to home school their kids, so they can work more! Yay, progress.

Edit: Oh and they want to pay them below minimum wage!

Florida has been facing a steep shortage of workers. According to figures from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, there are about 53 available workers for every 100 open jobs in the state.

And yet people can still apply and get no response back for these supposed jobs?

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

It's because they want things like decent wages and not be slaves.

Well obviously. Leave it to Republicans to encourage pushing children into the workforce to fill the gaps Republicans created, but then also insist that because children are poor workers they should be paid less.

All those thimgs, and more, are on the agenda.

Your "Trail of Tears 2" reference? Consider this:

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds about 800-1200 people. The largest prison, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300, more than 7x larger than average.

Now the MAGA Nazis are building a facility in Guantanamo Bay, CUBA, that will house 30,000 people, which is almost 4x larger than Angola, which is already 7x larger than average.

Even the Torture Prison in El Salvador is smaller, at 20,000. The MAGA Nazis want to build the biggest nastiest prison in the Western Hemisphere on a black site in a hostile foreign nation, far from the prying eyes of the media or the courts.

Who do the MAGA Nazis plan on putting in a facility that large? They have already established that anyone who is designated a Terrorist can be detained without Due Process - no lawyer, no judge, no court appearances, no trial. You just get sent to anywhere in the world they feel like sending you.

And now they are saying that anyone who protests Tesla is a Terrorist. In the future, anyone who protests anything will be a terrorist. If you vocally oppose giant corporations, you are a Terrorist. If you support a boycott, you are a Terrorist. Write a critical post on social media, wear a t-shirt, demand your right to vote, defend yourself against MAGA Marauders, etc, and you will be designated a Terrorist. Even just living a life that they think is counter to their concept of an ideal society - gay, Liberal, non-Christian, educated, self-employed, etc. will eventually be given the Terrorist designation. Even just registering as anything but a Republican will get you designated as a Terrorist. Not that it matters, there won't be any elections anyway.

In the future, they won't care about crime, unless it is directed at the wealthy. Their primary law enforcement efforts will be against the 70% of Americans they will designate as Terrorists.
