@ramsey @maya_b @inthehands Oh every accusation from the right is a confession. That Trump was in on all that from the start was obvious even back then. The tricky part is just getting his base to see such a thing.

Like you say, the "vibe" is the issue. He somehow repeated the right words over and over and had them thinking only Democrats could be involved. Something about the break between then and now shifted stuff I guess? Or maybe not. I'll believe it when I see the base actually turn

@ramsey @maya_b @inthehands I would really like to see more of an inside view. I can say some of the diehard loyalists (like my frigging parents — they aren't openly MAGA but might as well be called closet MAGA) don't seem to have processed this yet.

@heidilifeldman Isn't there sort of already something to this effect? Eg that they *must* properly identify themselves by federal law or something? (Obviously excluding undercover, but ICE is not an undercover agency in the first place...)

@jeridansky There is no way that ICE can be salvaged. Its very FOUNDATION is built on terrible things being made legal and "ok." I don't even see why DHS exists. Everything it *purports* to do, other organizations already do (and better.)

But Schumer is such a conservative that he'll never understand this I suspect. (Sometimes I really wonder why he didn't switch parties — at least back before Republicans became the official nazi part of America anyway.)

@inthehands It scares me that someday they'll be given full gestapo powers — but that's exactly why we need to wreck them now while all it takes is people being loud to do it.

@selzero I can absolutely verify this 100%. I want to eat healthier, but the healthiest stuff costs almost twice as much (in some cases actually more even.)

The more unhealthy it is, the cheaper.

And cons like "organic" aren't helping since they make even the cheaper stuff cost more. (Yes there is usually a cheaper "non-organic" option, but stores have limited shelf space and like to stop carrying the other options in favor of what sells more rather than what's best for their customers.)

@mkristensson @ai6yr I imagine with the Republican shutdown, it's completely up in the air when/if anyone gets paid/funded anymore.

@paninid @Em0nM4stodon I never thought about it in terms of religious connotations, but I think this does make a bit of a valid point. Many people in this country are raised from early on to think they have no privacy from at least one being. Maybe this goes a long way to explaining why so many seem to just shrug off giving up privacy rights among other humans.

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think they're taught to accept said being as to be trusted. So they accept corporations

@nixCraft If true this is more scary than even intended because I'm about 90% sure that the bubble is very close to bursting now...

@benroyce It truly amazes me how many people did a whole "Democrats aren't good enough, so I'll just let the Republicans win" thing.

Every single issue that Democrats are less than ideal on or even taking the wrong side on, Republicans make 1000x worse. Every. Single. Issue.

FFS, even Gaza, the one thing people used most against Democrats has Trump now basically doing everything he can to directly support the genocide... Democrats were hedgey, but Trump is 100% backing it.

@dnkboston @benroyce "Biden's inaction"
I especially love this part.

Harris was not Biden...

I do believe Biden would eventually have come around though. Oh he was absolutely in the wrong about Gaza, but I honestly believe that by this time this year he would have already come around if he had remained president. I *KNOW* Harris would have listened to reason. I'm certain. I can't prove it, but she was much too intelligent to stay on the wrong side.

But we all know where Trump stands...

@kingrat I think you're confused. You tagged me. I merely responded.

@kingrat In general perhaps, but this is something where it is *VERY IMPORTANT.*

Sometimes the difference between a kidnapping and an arrest may seem like a thin line. Not in this though. They are flagrantly acting outside the law, violating the Constitution itself and actually just straight up kidnapping whoever they feel like then getting away with it. We're talking internationally recognized crimes against humanity here.

(Not to mention the concentration camps and human trafficking...)

@jeridansky @kingrat @ai6yr Let's not even use the word "arrested." They do not have a warrant and do not get court orders. These are illegal kidnappings.

@BruceMirken I wish it was possible to actually do this. Somehow hold the people who spread disease or misinformation that causes others to spread it responsible for their actions.

These people have killed so many, indirectly or directly and they just don't care. Why should they? Our society refuses to hold them the least bit responsible for their horrific actions.

@GreenSkyOverMe I hope this is America in the near future.

Because we don't have long left at all. That fire is burning *FAST* around us.

I guess to some extent it's the world as a whole really, but man are we in the US staring right at flames two inches from our noses right now.

@Lydie Funny how "being a decent person" has become "political far left extremist."

@mcnado The thing that drives me positively wild is that YOU CAN LITERALLY JUST GET A MICROSCOPE AND SEE GERMS YOURSELF!

All these people floating ridiculous "alternate theories" (misusing the word theory to instead mean "baseless claim" rather than theory) that it's all other things could literally just buy freaking microscopes.

Heck, if they think someone is magically beaming fake images into them, they could make their own microscopes. It's ultimately just lenses. It can be done.

@Catawu @mcnado I don't know. Gathering up innocent people and shoving them together in tent camps with only mylar blankets, improper food, unsafe water, etc etc during a raging pandemic (and really just any diseases existing) seems pretty darned cruel and non-human to me.

At this point it's less about a level of cruelty and more about trying to terrify as much as possible for them. They aren't more cruel, just they're more open as a terrorist cel.

@Catawu @mcnado It is truly scary how close we are indeed.

They'll probably start with intentionally spreading disease would be my guess. They've already taught America that anyone who gets really sick or dies from a disease was just weak and deserved to die.
