    People grow tired of fighting with such high stakes so in the long run you just wear them out

    This is true.

    Sure, if Trump wins things will suck definitely but it’s not the end of the world. Ultimately biggest political parties serve various oligarchs so once Dems are inevitably back some years from now you’ll notice not much is changing for you personally.

    This is where I vehemently disagree. Just because you’re not going to be one of the first ones they target doesn’t mean it’s no big deal. They’re talking about using our local police to round millions of people up and put them in camps, and you’re going to sit there and tell me it’s not the end of the world? Get the fuck out of here.

    It’s okay to be tired. Fight anyway. That is what is required to maintain Democracy. Giving in to authoritarianism because it’s easier is a bitch move.

      I’m genuinely curious, who is getting rounded up? And who’s going to let that happen?

        He’s talking about deporting millions of illegal immigrants, which will probably require putting them in a camp at least temporarily.

          So the “camps” side of things definitely feels gross, but he’s “threatening” to enforce the law, that’s not wrong. Now if he’s weaponizing the system to deport his opposition or otherwise law abiding citizens, that’s a problem.

            He has promised to deport pro-palestine protesters.

            Most of whom are born Americans.

            You’re not paying attention. The camps are for far more than just the undocumented.

              Okay, but legally he can’t do that. No matter how much he wants to. And once again, orders are as only good as the people who are tasked with carrying them out.

                He’s a literal criminal who has filled the courts with his minons and the police love him.

                Who’s going to stop him? Seriously who?

                His term this time is going to be worse than last time because he and the republican party have removed all the ways we have to stop him from doing whatever the fuck he wants.

                Official acts are completely legal now. He can order protesters executed and the supreme court already said that’s fine.
