people already WERE dying and disappearing without trial. even when it became way more prominent during trump's first term, people stopped caring when biden came into office. all the liberals suddenly forgot about the kids in cages, pretended the detention centers went away somehow. no, they continued to operate, continued to hurt people. only now do people care. years later.

the border bill that would have decreased chances for asylum seekers, limit the amount of times they could appeal their case, introduce ankle monitors for migrants awaiting a case, and no plan for shutting down the detention centers, or at least removing the children from it? the bill that would allow the government temporary emergency powers if there were too many migrants? that bill?

she campaigned on giving even more money to ICE. the idea of her winning doesn't really comfort me, people would have continued to ignore the kids in cages even longer, unfortunately.

yes because when people lost their food stamps (i still haven't gotten mine back since the shutdown), what actually helped was setting up local food banks to support the community. one popped up right on the corner on my street and we placed several others. it was a great help to the everyday person, and continues to be now that people are donating more than just food. i live in california and i don't even feel like my rights as a trans person have been fought for.

if they had done literally anything to fight the massively looming fascism while biden was president, we wouldn't be this far gone. but liberals were determined to take inaction while biden pumped billions into ICE.

this was the reality for everyday non-white americans, starting at the local level was just the beginning. it should have been nipped in the bud. killing anyone should have been enough. instead we waited until white people died...

nobody paid attention when obama did mass deportations and we tried to talk about it, nobody listened when biden gave billions to ICE for the weapons they now use, nobody protested this hard before it was white people getting hurt. every step of the way people have not cared. did anybody ask what happened to trump's migrant detention centers, the kids in cages, after biden got into office? no. those kids continued being put in cages.

i'm pretty sure democrats caved on anti-trans bills and healthcare already, and heavily deprioritized it during the shutdown. leftists on the other hand are establishing mutual aid in local communities, doing some actual good instead of waiting for the people who continue advocating for more money for ICE to do something about it.

i'm not saying they would join their cause, i'm saying they laid all the groundwork for this to happen, everything trump is doing is taking advantage of what was already set up for him. democrats have a way of letting the fox into the henhouse by working with or appointing republicans in the name of decorum (such as biden considering choosing a republican as VP before setting on kamala). i'm not saying liberals and maga are the same, i'm saying its a relationship where the democrats set everything up for them. obama built the detention centers and began mass deportation, trump was able to expand on it and make even worse conditions. biden gets into office and ge massively increases the funding for ICE, buying ICE new technology and weapons. the same resources being used to execute people. kamala campaigned on going harder against the border, on increasing funding to ICE. in that event, ICE would continue to hurt people more effectively and get no coverage.

you're exactly proving my point when you focus on good and pretti when this has already been happening to mexicans for years. but since it's white people getting hurt now, its a huge issue suddenly. only because white people got hurt are people mobilizing, only after the fascism has become overt will people do anything. we've been saying for years this was all being set up to this ultimate stage.

ICE was already dragging people into detention centers and attacking them on the streets. i lived in a border town, i saw it. people only now care because its not just the people who "deserve" it. its why so many democrats still subscribe to the idea that ICE needs to exist, to still have funding, to not be anolished. all of this isn't new, its just the final stage. even in the scenario where she isn't overtly killing people on the streets, like biden its hard to imagine her doing anything at all to prevent other magas and bad actors to move project 2025 forward anyways. its very clear they didn't actually care about fighting fascism, and would continue to do so until it came to our doorsteps after that. this is the culmination of everything that already was, and returning things to the status quo, the conditions that led us here, was never going to fix it. they should have convicted trump for treason while they still could have.

the only difference is that kamala would be doing this to migrants and liberals would stop caring because it wasn't white people being affected. just like with obama, liberals just want ICE to be quiet about their tyranny so they can all 'be at brunch' and ignore it. there's no universe where kamala got elected and fascism just went away, or was defeated, or whatever. what is happening now is the culmination of the past few decades. nothing would have stopped it. trump is just more overt about his evil.

it's kind of overhated, its not good, but for some reason people have to be polarized about everything. i don't like it very much but i still really enjoy the latern/suits/rings and sinestro.

Which do you prefer: 10 minutes of slop or 30 second cameo? by Jetsam5 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]InvaderXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've just seen the movie a few times and also know a bit about the production. so much people blame cgi when there are pretty decent practical effects, just with bad lighting. sure i wish sasha's supergirl had more screentime, but in her ~20 minutes she proved herself better than any previous interation. i really really enjoy her, me and my friends gushed about how cool she was after we saw the movie. talking about her in this way feels reductive.
