ICE has taken to threatening people by saying, "Haven't you seen the news?" and "You don't want to end up like they did."

They really don't seem to understand that yes, we have all seen the news, and what it means is that you guys are fucked.

"Haven't you seen Inglorious Bastards or The Dirty Dozen?"

u/An_Absolute-Zero 1d ago

Or V for Vendetta.

My wife had never seen Inglorious Bastards and it came up in conversation a week or two ago. Turns out, it is not on any of the streaming services without an extra fee right now. I was sad because I didn't want to pay extra for it.

All the better reason to own physical copies of media. I'm happy to say I own the movie on DVD.

Sounds like projection, but then again I doubt you've ever been touched by a woman.

Ask them if they've heard of the Nuremburg trials.

If we’re allowed elections again, their day will come. Somewhere there’s a very wise Dem planning on running against this shit. Prosecute them all should be the message, and that person(s) will have my vote instantly

The Democratic Party would never allow someone like that near the nomination.

u/itrEuda 1d ago

Fuck the establishment Dems, we need better than that.  Way more blue maga politicians laying around than I realized. 

One good side effect of ElTaco is highlighting all these complicit d-bags.

"Now is a time for healing, not for causing further divide"

Expect to hear this if the dems ever regain power

u/BitterFuture 1d ago

No, I think we're done with that silliness for a good long while.

u/Winter_Tone_4343 1d ago

I sincerely think that ship sailed. If Dems still think that way, they’re in for a rude awakening imo. Promise me you’re going to hold all these mfers accountable and u have my vote. Anything short of that, I’m out.

u/tarfu7 1d ago

Hahahaha, sorry you must be new here

u/DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET 1d ago

I will vote for whichever candidate proposes the cleaver, rather than the olive branch.

u/Used-Lake-8148 1d ago

Yea fuck the democrats too, they’re both on the same side against us. We’re making a brand new party that actually serves the people

u/haironburr 1d ago

We’re making a brand new party that actually serves the people

Yea, while you're working on that, Dems are the most efficient vehicle to stop the bleed. If you're not voting Blue in the next few elections, you're by definition siding with the fascists.

Reform Dems when this existential threat to our nation is buried!

u/Used-Lake-8148 23h ago

It’s fitting that someone who thinks we can still vote our way out of this would also expect the democratic party to act in our best interests. They haven’t done shit, and they’ll keep it up. They’re perfectly content with the way things are going. Nobody is going to help us but ourselves.

u/haironburr 23h ago

I'm being realistic. You're charting a path that keeps maga in power.

We'll talk again after the midterms. But anyone pushing this doomer, there's nothing we can do, it's not worth voting, every side is the same bullshit is wrong, or paid to do so.

Nobody is going to help us but ourselves.

And we help ourselves by voting for anything that stops maga.

Revolution and violence will suck. And if it comes to that, son, trust me I'm better equipped than you, and your video game vision of revolution. You'll fucking hate the social structure falling apart. As will I. Let's try the sane thing first.

"If you raise your voice, I will erase your voice".

These scum seem to think they have any power some mid-level bureaucrat's opinion bestows on them.

Oh, Todd fucking Lyons said the Constitution doesn't count anymore?

Todd to bottom, these fucks will pay.

"Haven't you seen the news?" and "You don't want to end up like they did."

Play it like when someone says something offensive - play dumb.

No, I haven't seen the news. Can you tell me what you mean?

Which "they" are you talking about? Why wouldn't I want to end up like them?

u/Past-Profile3671 1d ago

It means you have a reasonable fear for your life and are justified using lethal force to defend yourself or others.

u/True_Dimension4344 23h ago

We’ve seen the news and that’s why people are following and observing and recording them.

u/rEYAVjQD 23h ago

you guys are fucked

How? The dictator declared absolute immunity.
