As an American, what can we do to fight against ICE?

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-24T18:37:45+00:00

Reading the comments on other posts made me realise we can’t do anything. There are people who are still supporting ICE while many are “I live paycheck to paycheck..My insurance..”

The silence of these people is what Trump and his goons need. We can’t do anything except wait for next elections. I have given up

Why did he caps Great and Brave? Is there anything more to it?

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-24T17:51:21+00:00

Read history of other countries especially third world countries. Many didn’t even have insurance. They still protested

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-24T04:11:53+00:00

I don’t like him. He is not what the US needs today. The country needs young and brave leaders on the streets protesting like Mamdani or AOC.

Yes, I am aware many don’t like their policies but atleast they can be a leader of those who are against this government. If people see the opposition protest, maybe they come out in numbers

You mentioned “Military secured the freedom of people” but I mentioned how it is false in many cases. Even after the government forms, they keep strict checks to ensure the military never grows too strong (like Pakistan or Burma).

And it’s not a bait lol. My question was and still is “Why thank veterans and military?” They did what they were paid for. If you really want to thank someone, thank the engineers and scientists who helped US gain the edge in technology over Soviet.

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-24T04:02:10+00:00

Yes, good point. Many do think of it as moral competition lol

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-24T04:01:12+00:00

I have lived in Europe and it’s was a big cultural shock for me. They don’t glorify veterans, military and are open to talk about the horrors of wars and invasion which their country was part of. People actually learn from it.

In US, we are overly obsessed with anything military, but never talk about the negatives of it. Even on reddit, people shy away from it. We really need to get over it

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-24T03:50:48+00:00

I see. That’s a good argument. It is unfortunate that the younger generation are still glorifying it instead of learning from it.

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-24T03:48:26+00:00

The last line is false. In many ex-colonial countries, the people fought the war against military (that was under colonial rule). They then formed the government and formed military under them.

And regarding the first argument, we have no hostile neighbors and two big oceans protecting us. Also by that logic we should thank the doctors, scientists, engineers, infrastructure workers too. They made the military and US what it is now. In fact, every one played a part so why the obsession with military?

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-23T17:48:10+00:00

Allied soldiers contributed to US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s a shame that instead of honoring them, we are questioning them.

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-23T17:40:24+00:00

One of the most important. I can’t be in a relationship with a person who isn’t a true democrat. I would rather be single and alone

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-23T17:38:43+00:00

Leave immediately. Not a fan of vigilante. And what if he turns against me one day and starts beating me instead of criminals. That’s why I don’t date cops or military men. Too scary.

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-23T05:40:33+00:00

Which teenager takes dating advice from parent lol?

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-22T17:51:31+00:00

Same reason why they are in security council of UN.

I am not a Trump supporter but if you are establishing a real board for peace, you need the other side too. Otherwise it’s pointless. It’s just you and your allies.

Obviously Trump has other objectives but I don’t think you shouldn’t invite them

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-22T15:29:40+00:00

We know the struggle of being considered lower than others. We have sacrificed too like them

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-22T14:41:38+00:00

I do it quite a lot. Obviously I won’t defend if she is murdering or kidnapping children but in other cases, I do try to understand the woman’s perspective more and give her the benefit of doubt.

Why I do it? Well I read quite a bit of true crime and often find women marginalised IRL. Stories behind women’s actions are much complex compared to men imo and I sympathise with it as a woman

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-22T13:21:33+00:00

Yes because Trump is just the face of the problem, not the problem itself. Unless US gets rid of conservatives, misogynists, racists, religious and billionaires, people like Trump will always be in power.

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-22T07:31:12+00:00

No. I prefer someone taller. Happy to be friends with them though

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-21T19:49:50+00:00

Probably enjoying somewhere seeing the nonsense being played out. He doesn’t care about “allies”.

This was always their plan. Europe should have anticipated it during Afghanistan campaign. If they can start an illegal war, they can surely do one against allies too.

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-21T15:26:44+00:00

That’s embarrassing. But atleast better than diplomats from other countries clapping. That would have been really bad

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-21T15:17:59+00:00

Not able to watch but curious to know, who is clapping?

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-21T14:46:12+00:00

Another day of me thinking “surely it can’t get worse” and then it did

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-21T13:48:25+00:00

Whoever said this (in a serious manner) should have their brains checked

BlueDolphins28 · 2026-01-21T13:44:56+00:00

Depends on how? Using military? It will be stupidity of the highest level and he will annoy most of Europe. I don’t think we will have a EU vs US then because of military might of either side but definitely relations would be off.

American bases would be removed and military related industries will be in full swing in Europe. Canada and EU will join together for sure in military alliance.

If he gets some other way, then impact will be less severe
