idgi, what's “not worth reading” about Minnesota expanding deathcamps‽
You have veered extraordinarily off topic
What's offtopic about this‽ ICE has presences in his state, and folks are only talking about it.
How are you on topic?
Yeah: what are you doing about Minnesota expansion of deathcamps?
They're only TALKING about it? If I recall, two innocent Minnesota citizens have been executed by ICE Apes while they were only "talking about it." And all the rest of the Minnesota protesters who are just "talking about it," all know they could be the next one to be executed, and yet they still show up to "talk about it" in protest.
Take a hike, troll.
I think you're misunderstanding me: how much more executions do you need to get the point across that “talking about it” no longer works?
That the theater of protest as been breached?
I can't take a hike while people get deathcamped. How about instead of theatrics we demolish 1 down‽
And what would you have us do?
There are legal steps still available to us by the Constitution, and we will follow those legal steps. The first is the Midterm elections in November, and the second is the Presidential Election in 2028. We will not surrender the last righteous Constitutional opportunities to follow an illegal strategy that is almost certain to fail, and will cause MAGA to lash back harshly.
We will have the Midterm elections, and see what happens. It is likely they will molest that election before, during, and after, but we have to hang tight, and fight through it. Then in two years, we'll do it again.
Between those two elections, we will resolve this, one way or another. It may take legislation, protests, and even violence, but we won't be the same when we come out the other side.
But we have to take the proper steps, and impulsively attacking some well-armed camp, with no real agenda or objective, is stupid and self-destructive. That's the way MAGAs think, only as far as the next step, with no concept of the reaction or consequences two or more steps down the road.
This is the time for intelligent, strategic thinking, not running headlong into rifle fire.
<fascists don't take legal stepsm8, does a terrorist need your permission to talk too‽
Just because MAGA is willing to throw away the Constitution, doesn't mean the rest of us are.
What constitution? The one that protected Epstein and his pals all this time, for five decades?
No, the one that has kept millions of Americans from being abused by their government for 250 years.
You and I have different histories of abuse.
Since you believe in laws and rules that protect exploiters, I am not sure there’s a need to engage this further.
