ICE has got to go. They filled the ranks with Jan 6ers and other white nationalists who can now live out their violent racist fantasies under the color of law.
An organization should not be able to write its own warrants. Everyone should go through the public justice system without exception. This would probably require a constitutional amendment.
I mean or we can slip into a fascist autocracy, in which case I'll see you guys in the Patriotic Detention Centers for the Woke.
There need to be crowds of hundreds people with gas cans who go to these chuds houses and burn them the fuck down. Remove them from our communities. Excise the threat.
Whatever happens, it won't be that.
You are not on my team if you think the solution is to attack other working class people. There are certainly ones that need to be brought to justice (see: Jan 6ers), but this slide into fascism has been financed and orchestrated by right-wing elites who have the billions of dollars to create effective propaganda.
MAGA voters are primarily driven by ignorance and intentionally misled via propaganda. This doesn't clear them of all responsibility, I want to be clear.
However, the massive wave of anonymous billionaire funded propaganda following the Citizens United decision is the thing that has moved public opinion and that propaganda wasn't created by ignorant people who were misled. It was created by very educated people who knew exactly what they were doing (watch The Great Hack documentary about Cambridge Analytica) and those people were funded by the same anonymous billionaires.
It isn't the local racist that is at fault for orchestrated campaign of propaganda which has twisted public opinion into electing corrupt criminals. It's the people who have billions of dollars and funded a tsunami of lies in order to buy access to the power of the Presidency.
Take your torches and pitchforks in that direction.
I'm not saying this should be the response to everyone who voted for him. But for anyone willing to kidnap and torture people for money, it's open season.
See ya there Bud
or the trenches. 🫡
