I think we should laugh and ridicule these voters as much and as cruelly as possible so that they REMEMBER that this was THEIR fault and aren’t talked into thinking it was progressives or Democrats several years from now.
Because these reactionaries will not remember this was the Republicans and their own doing if we only express sympathy for them. Just like they seemly forgot about Trump’s virulently racists triad about Haitian immigrants eating dogs just months before the election.
What they will remember is my face laughing at them as they’re hauled away because it’s coming from someone they thought was beneath them. And that will make them remember why I laughed.
I do not care about the feelings of reactionaries even if they are from marginalized communities just as don’t care about the harm they’ve inflicted on millions of undocumented immigrants that did not vote for Trump and these Trump supporters would have just as gladly watched them be deported if they weren’t being included as well.
Fuck these sniveling liberal civility politics, they do not apply when we are talking about fascism.
Just putting this here…
Now it is Latinos but once Stephen Miller pushes denaturalization bill through, Asians (mainly Indians and Chinese) are going to be next.
And I don’t know about Chinese but there are plenty of Indians who love Trump, usually along with Modi (I do NOT want to see that rule34). They’re in for a rude surprise when their H-1B or Green card is revoked along with citizenship of their born in the US children.
Who’s stephen miller and what does he want to do??
He’s a white supremacist/neo-nazi and he’ll be deputy chief of staff in upcoming Trump administration.
He wants to round up and deport all immigrants from USA. Non-white ones, obviously.
Even the citizens???
Apparently, yeah. That’s what denaturalization refers to. Taking away citizenship of Americans born to non-citizen parents.
What…
The team will target terrorists, war criminals, sex offenders, and “other fraudsters”, the DOJ said.
Eh, doesn’t seem too bad on the surface. And he only did it to 30 people, it seems
along with citizenship of their born in the US children
Totally agree with your point, but I have a bit of hope regarding the citizenship point. Birthright citizenship is a result of the 14th amendment, so revoking it would be very difficult. I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe they try to ignore court decisions, or just deport people without due process. But, getting rid of the 14th wouldn’t happen, so things could be undone (in theory).

The law only matters when it’s enforced, and the current supreme court has already shown they will not uphold the Constitution when it suits them and their politics.
