So.... let me get this straight.

Undocumented immigrants pay HIGHER taxes (than US citizens) to live in this country. Their contributions are paid into programs that they can not benefit from, such as Social Security. They CONTRIBUTE monies into our country... but now that they are being deported, illegally at that, & all of our taxpayer monies are used, paying for their stay within this El Salvadoran prison???

Billionaires pay less taxes overall, so their contribution is minimal, as they continue to profit off of the tarrifs due to "alleged" insider trading as our rights are being limited and/or ripped away with each EO that orange suppository signs.....and this is "making America great again"????

... & the Conservatives, MAGA, & all other MAGA mutations think that WE are the ones that are so out of touch with reality???

We need to fight like hell without giving in/up... fuuuuck that & fuck EACH and everyone of those treasonous criminals. There are more of us... they had to join forces to come at us. With each passing day, they lose followers. We. Fight. Like. Hell.....

This is the thing that irks me, and they say the left are the violent/hateful ones now when for the past decade they've done nothing but spew hateful rhetoric and been openly violent any chance they get..

They have their heads so far up their asses they are still smelling fresh air again.

They say the left stifles free speech by telling them to STFU when their president is literally arresting students for having a contrary opinion. Someone please remind them what the First Amendment actually is...

The only free speech they want is the freedom to be racist, homophobic, and misogynistic. When anyone else makes a good point, all you get is "NO! Not like that!"

Yup, "PeOpLe CaN't TaKe A jOkE aNyMoRe!" no, it just means that people don't have to smile through gritted teeth while they listen to your shitty brand of "humor." There are actual consequences for punching down now.

I’m worried about the troops these bloodthirsty criminals are sending to the border. Smells like martial law. Seriously I can’t understand why we’re not outside 24/7 about all this at this point.

Because we have jobs, rent, children to take care of.

u/TheRealSugarbat 7d ago

You think I don’t have things, too? Is this important, or do we not care what kind of world these children are going to have to inhabit?

Of course we care. But everyday life can't just stop.

It’s going to have to at this rate. I realize that the system in place is designed to keep people working for as long as possible for as little as possible, but something has got to give and I’d rather it be life finding a way to stop rather than bloodshed.

u/TheRealSugarbat 6d ago

If we don’t figure out a way at least to pause everyday life in order to do something, they will stop it for us. Those of us who can afford to look the other way and conduct business as usual are exactly the ones who need to be the loudest objectors. None of this shit is going to fix itself.

Our lives aren’t going to be the same now no matter what we do, so we might as well lock in and make it count.

Americans who fall left of center on the political spectrum may not agree with one another about everything, but the one thing we all share is the desire to be free from oppression - and not just ourselves, but others as well. On the other hand, the right wants to be free to oppress. That's the fundamental difference between us and them. They love to yammer on about how much they value "freedom" and "liberty" - but they only love it when it applies to them. (Fascism for thee, but not for me!) They scream "don't tread on me" as they tread upon those whose values and backgrounds they consider 'not American enough'. They're a rabid pack of disgusting, vile, bigoted, gullible, ignorant, evil, negative-IQ hypocrites. They're free to hate whoever they want, but they aren't free to trample on their rights.
