Post anything related to the United States.
Almost 50% of Americans. In a sane country that would probably be closer to 90% against. Ya'll are fucked.
Only 6 in 10??
I'm surprised that you're surprised about how messed up Americans are.
I know right!? Still a mandate though
Russian propaganda sure destroyed America, lol.
Four in ten Americans deserve to be sent to blackhole prisons of their own. Let them try to appeal when they get there.
Or 4 in 10 Americans are beyond reaching.
No American should be okay with others not having due process, citizen or not. Yet here we are
Most charitably, at least some of that percent are the types who don't think about it (or are largely incapable of doing so). The types who max out on the kohlberg scale of "the law is the law and so if the law is arresting these people then it must be just because it's the law."
I think people like that can potentially still support decent things, but they basically have no chance when the current media environment is filled with so much propaganda.
"the law is the law and so if the law is arresting these people then it must be just because it's the law."
What does law have to do with it?
He's referencing moral frameworks, hence the kohlberg scale comment. Some folks take the law as gospel: i.e., if something is against the law and you are arrested for it, then the only problem is you, the person arrested. According to that mind state, all of the folks who are in america illegally are therefore deserving of whatever the law (sort of says and) does to them.
No courts -> No law
Mobs with badges aren't the police.
Basically two things: the misinformation telling them that it's legal (hell, we don't even expect cops to understand the law in the US, what chance does some the average idiot have?), and the fact that literal law enforcement agents are carrying out these arrests.
All these judges issuing injunctions against the admin's illegal actions might not be able to take down the melted cheeto directly, but we really need them to go after the people at the agencies going against their orders. The plane that was ordered to turn around? Why wasn't everyone on that thing arrested as soon as they returned, pilot included?
Can we get police to arrest ice? I think it's time to find out. Start giving them a reason to think before "just following orders".
These are the people the Democrats were trying to court in 2024.
They could have too, just not by trying out Republican the Republicans. People like this respond to leaders who show conviction, and that definitely isn't the Democrats.
thats a shockingly low number.
Now you know why America has a fascist dictatorship!
We gotta get rid of those other 4 Americans.
By sending them to El Salvador?
Yes
They should not be sending anyone to El Salvador
I really shouldn’t have to like this. We should ALL just not want to be locked up with no evidence. God I hate this timeline.
Trump also took office with fewer than the majority of people wanting him too, it doesn't actually mean anything if you're just gonna 'not want it'
So, deport=send to foreign prison?
