I agree with their points.

I just think that legalized discrimination is something that shouldn't be brushed off as the same old shit. This is in fact very new unprecedented shit.

America has deported american citizens multiple times before, in particular Mexican Americans and Asian Americans. The legalized discrimination against black Americans has been with us since reconstruction was sabatoged by the white supremacists in our local and federal administrations. It's unprecedented for white Americans, yeah. Not so much for those who have been historically oppressed in America.

This is certainly a new wave of fascism in America, it's even affecting white Americans who historically have not been in the crosshairs, in particular for protesting and voicing the opposition to America and Israel's genocide of Palestine. The crosshairs of fascism never ends with minority groups, it inevitability grows and attacks people who initially thought they were safe as long as they didn't fight for those who were the initial target. The US has reached that tipping point, if we aren't already past it.
