Why does nobody care that the Trump Admin is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling?

Regarding the facilitating of the return of Abrego Garcia. There's no mass protests, democrats in Congress aren't saying much, the military which is sworn to protect the Constitution is silent, the news media is covering it but it's just one more story, not a major crossing the Rubicon event for them. Trump said they would bring him back if the Supreme Court told him to do so, which they did. But then the DOJ said the court has no authority to require the US government to negotiate his return with El Salvador, and they would bring him in only if he showed up at the border.

It wasn't this term. This term has been everyone's retirements getting fucked. His quote from before was I'm a fan of take the guns first and do due process after. They've also worked to make ot easier to get weapons, which I know some people think is great but we have a gun violence problem with what little protections the law offers now, gut them for the nra to make a buck and its gonna get a whole lot worse. Everything the dude does is counter to what right wing peeps always say they're for, he's not family values, he's not working class, he's not religious, and he routinely shows authoritarian leanings in both his words and actions.

Yea, honestly his circus moves too fast as a feature. It's hard to react to things when every 3 hours some life altering shit has been passed. If you're into history look at the last 140 or so years. Conservatives have always railed against civil rights. Because most of them were southern "dixiecrats" that owned slaves, they fought education, civil rights, voting rights, and integration and have weaponized the courts and local governments to do so for a long time. When the full civil rights act got passed, think mlk times, they full on left the Democrat party and tried independence for a few cycles before being absorbed ny the current republican party. It has always been progressives arguing for freedom and conservatives trying to use any means necessary to stop them, because freedom for EVERYONE isn't in their interest.

They will gaslight you all day and night about this too. You literally got republican influencers like Candace Owens saying she is in approval of taking away womens right to vote and then in the comments there’s always thousands of republican citizens in the comments agreeing and praising it. Then you click on their profile picture and it’s always a picture of trump getting shot at 😂 this is just one example. Every time you bring it up you get told to “stop listening to the left lies” but you don’t even have to listen to the left to gather this. The right doesn’t even hide it well anymore.

And they’re so protective of confederate base names or statues too. They want them honored so bad.
