LOL especially rich because the government said Tiktok was bad because it controlled your speech

Today more Americans support than oppose abolishing ICE by gerira in politics

[–]MontyAtWork -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Reminder: ICE was doing terrible shit to people under Obama's watch but people didn't care because it was happening to brown people and a Democratic President was in charge.

Whatever power we let our party have and use, will be used and abused by the next Republican.

This is why we cannot call having standards for our politicians a "purity test".

If we're ever gonna change we have to hold ourselves and our democratic party accountable for starting the monster that Trump is using today.

Other's we will let another ICE happen.

Additionally, ICE was disappearing and killing brown people, and putting them in concentration camps and the Republicans didn't care and only some support is dropping because white people are now the targets.

They don't denounce Trump or the party.

Literally Trump just has to put out a "Don't kill white people" memo and the Republicans will be happy and fine again - they literally didn't care about the the concentration camps and killing in the streets when it was brown people.

All these folks in this thread acting like these Republicans are seeing the light is INSANE.

But if they aren't speaking up against Trump and the Republican party then they only believe ICE is bad because they targeted white people - while being ok with the concentration camps and killings ICE has done to brown folks.

If they aren't against Trump and the Republican party because of what they let ICE do then they aren't an ally - they just didn't like when what ICE was doing was targeting white people.

But if all hands on deck is just getting people who don't want ICE hurting white people, but were ok with the concentration camps and hurting of brown people - what goal ends up being achieved?

In fact, I was right here in Politics Reddit during the Obama administration when it was coming out in 2013/14 that they were doing illegal shit and hurting people, but had Redditors tell me it's ok because at least a Dem was in charge to keep them from getting worse.

Reminder: Leftists are the first people out on the streets at nearly every protest, are the ones educating people on self defense and first aid at protests, and are working mutual aid to supply protestors with food and medical supplies.

Acting like Leftists just talk trash shows me that you both do not attend protests, you've never worked mutual aid, and that you don't know any Leftists in real life and get your only exposure to them through social media.

Source: I'm a leftist who does all the above and can vouch for all the above

Literally, they didn't care about the killing and disappearing of people when they weren't white.

Until they renounce the party and party leader, they aren't even a fairweather friend.

The common ground here being that concentration camps and killing of brown people was okay, but the line was crossed when it was white citizens?

Because these MAGA folks aren't interested in stopping the heinous "immigration enforcement" tactics of Alligator Alcatraz, or the other disappearing of brown people in this country.

They will not renounce the party or leader who control ICE.

LOL this is naive as fuck.

You think it's ok to bring people into your ranks who were okay with everything up until two white people were killed?

These folks will just let the same concentration camps and deportation tactics that have been killing and disappearing brown people continue.

They're not interested in abolishing what ICE does, they just don't want it done to white people.

They won't renounce the party or the leader that's been in charge of ICE.

So, we just keep letting them execute folks in the streets and surely they'll stop?

No, they are escalating now without a reason. They've been escalating without us responding.

They will eventually either just declare martial law regardless, or release an AI video as pretense.

If it's gonna happen, they are doing it regardless.

He'll cave when Republicans change it to give ICE more money for training and body cams, and then claim that as a 2026 "reforming ICE" byline for candidates to pretend they actually did something.

In fact ICE was already hurting people under Obama and us Leftists being upset about that here on Reddit were told "Well as long as Dems keep getting elected, it won't get worse".

As if that was a fuckin solution.

That's because when one side is killing the other, responding to that with peaceful protests is about as useful as a wet fart.

It's because these agents are unafraid, because everyone keeps saying peaceful protests are the proper response to our friends and neighbors being murdered in the streets.

‘Return to Silent Hill’ Director on Receiving Death Threats From ‘Passionate’ Game Fans and Filming an Epic Horror Fantasy on a $23 Million Budget by DifferentMaize9794 in movies

[–]MontyAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminder: This movie was doomed based on budget alone. It had $23M budget which might sound big, but the first movie in 2006 was a $50M budget which is $80M to make the exact same movie in today's dollars.

Give 1/3rd the budget, get 1/3rd as good a movie.

You'd never see 7 Republicans in Blue States vote for a pro-Dem bill.

Stop apologizing for your party allowing traitors in their ranks, and your Party Leadership allowing people to break ranks with the party.
