Remember when MAGAts threw hissy fits when you had to have a piece of paper to prove you were vaccinated for the safety of the public? I wonder what they think of this.

[–] Lor@leminal.space 8 points 11 hours ago

Remember the Death Panels? Now the GOP is a death cult! Go figure.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 12 hours ago

They even compared it to having to present papers in Nazi Germany. But this? This is totally fine to them.

They are gonna want tattooed id numbers next

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Ms. Noem, you don't have the government mandated tattooed ID.

Come with us please.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 14 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Who would want to live in a country where you aren't even free?

What happened America?

[–] TheProtagonist@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

A nightmare came true.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Seems like things went to shit overnight.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Best I can do is exercise my God-given inalienable rights with great intensity.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 70 points 1 day ago

people have proved their status or citizenship only to be assaulted and detained anyway..

so, FUCK OFF.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

“LET ME SEE YOUR PAPERS!” Should Latinos, the disabled and lgbtqia people wear a patch yet? Or does that come later?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Good idea. Maybe the government could create a specific patch that shows their immigration status, with each being a different color. First it's the undocumented with no patch, then the asylum seekers with a yellow patch, then the dreamers with a blue patch, then the green card holders with green patch, then the birthright citizens with an orange patch, and finally the naturalized citizens with a red patch. As each group becomes criminalized, it will make it easy for ICE to scoop them all up.

Those who bought Trump's $5 million Gold card get a gold patch, of course. Nobody will bother them. They bought their citizenship like you're supposed to.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 13 hours ago

This will make the visual metaphors in the movies of the US's Fascist Fun Time a lot easier, that's very thoughtful

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The way this admin is speed running fascism I half expect them to tattoo QR codes on them. When called out for being nazis, they'll push back and say nazis used numbers. This is totally different.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 14 hours ago

Bail conditions will include a president branded brain implant.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone will get a QR code tattooed on the forehead. Among other things these codes will be needed to use a credit card. Evangelicals will hail this move as a clear sign of Trump's godliness.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The Mark of the Beast, one of the primary signs of the Anti-Christ.

Revelations 13:

And he causeth all, both small and great*, rich and poor*, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand*, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

You can see how a Capitalist would like that part.

Could Americans spot the Antichrist?

She looks like she's wearing a mask made of human skin which somehow fits the "I bragged about killing a puppy".

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 14 hours ago

And while she was hopped up on blood lust, she killed a goat, too.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 14 hours ago

Southpark did a documentary on her, I think they cover the story behind her face.

[–] aarch0x40@piefed.social 90 points 1 day ago

Gestapo says what?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 72 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Papers, please!

Of course, where does that leave those of us who aren’t citizens and have no intention of becoming citizens?

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I heard that El Salvador is wonderful this time of year.

Death camps, probably

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Nazi Barbie just figured out how to make normal people resist more actively.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

I prefer it if Krispy Gnome had to prove she was human.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Kristi Noem should prepare to spend the rest of her life behind bars when normal government resumes (and it will).

[–] hector@lemmy.today 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Why would it? They are fixing elections and the democrats refused and still refuse to stop them, or to be popular.

How could you possibly think they will be unseated?

The Third Reich fell; so will the Turd Reich.

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 28 points 1 day ago

Normal was school shootings every week. Normal was Cops militarizing and murdering black and brown people in our streets. Normal was unlimited money flowing into congress form Corporations.

We can't go back to normal after this. This has to end in revolution and rebuilding our country. We need to enshrine our real values in the constitution and prevent things like this happening again.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

When? 50 years from now?

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Where do you buy your optimism?

[–] Lor@leminal.space 32 points 1 day ago

very fascist.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is FREEDOM!

-~~Nazis!~~ Republicans!

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago

Anyone who is still a Republican at this point is a Nazi too.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do you prove citizenship? A lot of (most?) people don't even have passports, which is the only federal ID that most people can get that establishes citizenship.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

the "real id" marked state id and dl also do, but have also been ignored by the police state.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Real ID isn't exclusive to US citizens. Non-citizen permanent residents and people here on temporary legal status such as work or student visas, DACA, etc get Real ID cards as well.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

green card holder with real ID here.

legally, though, I am required to carry my green card at all times and I moved to the US a decade ago.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

They've already come out and said the Real ID isn't proof of citizenship, just your identity.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 hours ago

Eh, that's okay. They can arrest me. I'm a citizen, and I know that. Let them deport me if they want, fuck it.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

Glory to Arstotzka!

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Here's my proof: 🖕🤬🖕

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Papers, Please

It's a fantastic single-player game if you need a distraction while the world is destroyed around you and your friends and family are murdered.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Exercise your rights.
