Bullshit. The united states has always failed to prosecute bad actors. They executed 1 general after the civil war. The rest of the Confederate government got to live out their days free. All of the governors that fought civil rights never got punished, nor did the cops that still tried to enforce segregation after the civil rights act. Nixon and everyone that worked with him got away with Watergate. What didn’t Reagan get away with?
The US will only punish poor people with no political power if they dare try to change the system.
I hope I’m wrong this time, but US history is disappointing
I hope I’m wrong this time, but US history is disappointing
When examined closely, you’ll find that there’s a reason that I’m calling it a regime, and not administration.
What this regime is doing (forcing out good people in every sector, replacing them with regime loyalists), is exactly what must be done when this regime falls.
There is absolutely no doubt that they must be purged from every sector.
No help is coming from the outside, so Americans need to decide for how long they’ll allow the regime to shred all checks and balances, and vandalize their economy, and shred their ability to cover the basic necessities.
We allowed Confederates to serve in the Senate after the war. These people were part of an armed rebellion against the US government and we allowed them to take office
I feel the effects of this government daily. I haven’t gotten good sleep in months and wonder every day if tomorrow is the day I lose my job. If I lose my career that I’ve dedicated my life to. All due to Trump’s executive action.
It’s a far stretch to go from my cynicism to assuming that I don’t care or I’m unaffected by this regime. I do care and I feel the impacts.
If anything I’d argue I fear US history will repeat itself and these people will not only get away with it, but they will also continue their political careers. I’m afraid that’s what will happen because it has repeatedly happened. I hope I am wrong. I hope this time is different. I will support actions and people that seek to end this madness anyway I can, but I fear nothing will happen
You claimed it was not effecting me personally. I gave you an example of how it was. Believe it or not having an income, housing, food to eat, and health insurance is actually pretty god damn important to me.
I made no more comments on my opinions of this government. I’m equally as disgusted by those things. What would you have me do? I go to my local protests regularly, but that is only so effective if at all. If you’re going to suggest I personally go out and start an armed rebellion, don’t. Neither you or I will be doing that, but you are more than welcome to prove me wrong.
We are almost certainly on the same side here. I’m just fearful these people will not face justice due to our country’s historic precedence. I wish I could have your confidence that they will face appropriate punishment, but I’m skeptical and doubt the American people. So maybe instead of trying to make me into a strawman or attach false claims onto my comments, just take them for what they are and go find an argument worth arguing.

You’re just posturing in a manner that says:
If I sit tight, nothing bad will happen to me under this regime.
Best of luck with that, but maybe step aside when the people who give a fuck get to work.
How the hell did you get that from my comment?

I’ll play along, and pretend that you’re representing yourself in a reasonably accurate way:
It’s time for you to pull your head out of your ass, give it a fucking shake, and do something.
Your career and job security count for sweet fuck all, when ICE could snatch you at any instant, and ship you to El Salvador.
Maybe this slipped past you, but you’d be well outside of US airspace before you started blubbering to the flight crew about due process.
But go on.
Tell me about your job security concerns.
Do something! What the fuck are you waiting for?
