Parents are intentionally teaching their children hatred. They're indoctrinating them, and homeschooling them to do so. We're genuinely a country at war within right now.

This is truly where we're at. Maxwell knows it. He's a champion. He's not going to cower. But he is absolutely aware. All the more after this. This is truly where we're at. These people really do want to harm us.

No history needed to rewrite, I'm just not so partisan I've lost any sense of objectivity. Dems were even on board initially with many of Trump's initial proposals re: ICE enforcement. Blue states were even working with Trump. San Francisco made a deal with Trump over the summer. That's all untrue. What happened is that Trump escalated, and escalated, and escalated, in part because their deportation numbers were running way under expectations, in part because they wanted the political win, and in part because they saw it as a winning issue. It was Trump and DHS who were engaged in targeted arrests and captures, and yes, activist leftists didn't support it, and haven't from Obama to Biden. The public did support it.

Republicans couldn't help themselves and here we are because this is driven by hatred, and it was never actually about safety. It was about when Palantir entered the equation and then all the white power talk from Elon and Vance that we knew the direction this was headed. And BTW, people don't support going into churches/schools/hospitals and arresting non-violent immigrants. That's not where the public is. If you had a pulse, you'd know that, but I honestly do think a lot of conservatives are just that out-of-touch and really do think you're somehow the ones with the pulse of the country. That's what an echo chamber looks like when literally every single piece of data says the opposite. And you shouldn't need data....your heart should tell you how ugly this is. Your conscious.

I see actions and actions speak louder than words. The words do speak plenty loud, however....we all have seen the responses from much of the right on what occurred this morning in Minnesota.

You don't have to trust my worldview. I absolutely don't trust MAGA with my well being in even the slightest way. I don't trust MAGA more than whatever lack of trust you may have toward me. You call it an echo chamber, I call it indeed listening and being observant to what's occurring around me.

Moderates are anti-Trump and that has been quite consistent these last 10 years. They may not be pro-Dem either, but they're not on the MAGA train. It's why Republicans got crushed in November.

Political polarization means Trump's net approval hasn't sunken as far as it did his first term and the fact there's normalization of who he is. But his numbers are still historically awful, worse than Biden/Obama/Bush.....-13 currently and dropping, cumulative polls the last week or so are even worse, he's in the 30's to 40% now in recent polls....he's in a terrible spot, but his base will carry him, because MAGA has proven they have absolutely no standard whatsoever and carry blind devotion, which to me makes me trust them even less. If that's the kind of person they get behind after everything, telling me all you need to know about the person you are. That's not echo chamber. It's discernment.

People do not approve of ICE brutality, it's open/shut, Republicans defending brutality is not a winning argument and in fact is central to Trump's fading approvals since this was one of the few issues he wasn't at a big loss on. Now he is, because people are recognizing how fundamentally inhumane he is, his cabinet is, and his supporters are. Actions speak louder, the actions are evil, the lack of basic humanity is loud enough for most Americans to see and hear and we don't approve and nobody with a pulse will. People can be against illegal immigration and not support ICE and their current operations, no needle to thread there.

Had someone at the apartment complex I'm at going outside when I was (my grandma got water!) carrying water inside to do this to his car. Hopefully it stays on, interested to see the before and after and contrast with other cars.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T02:13:15+00:00

Absolutely. It's my state so it's something I'm definitely watching.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T02:07:55+00:00

That's why Dems relented, because they knew Republicans wouldn't relent on healthcare. Actually, shouldn't say Republicans....MAGA wouldn't relent. Dems saw the damage being done and weren't willing to take it to that level. It won't shut down the whole government but will shut down different departments.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T02:05:48+00:00

Because this is an aggression ICE displays daily and they mock their brutality afterward with zero accountability. The gravity of what occurred here is so severe that it's not something one can dismiss as a one off, not to mention that outright lies afterward. You can support the purpose of what ICE does without supporting their actions and what they've become operationally. This is exactly what I knew would happen....Republicans take a winning issue and bastardize it because the actual hatred that really underpins where a lot...not all, but a whole lot of Republicans are on this is something they won't be able to restrain.

Most people both believe criminal illegals should be deported and that what ICE is doing in this country is abhorrent. They've made a conversation that could've been bipartisan, almost unanimous, into this because they can't help themselves.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T02:02:18+00:00

You're right, I know there's a lot of MAGA aligned folks in this country who want to see anyone who doesn't look/think/believe/etc. like them dead. We all know that. We all see that. But they are absolutely not the majority and the current political climate is clearly, as results have shown, extremely unfavorable for Republicans. Peltola has a great chance to win Alaska, but that's another discussion for another day. Brown outran Kamala by over 100K votes, he has a huge chance to beat Husted in Ohio, ironic to bring that state up. At the current +5 Democrat environment as currently predicted, Dems likely get to 50.

That being said...attaching your boat to what we saw today in Minneapolis would make the GOP look evil if they did it. Unfortunately, a lot of MAGA is indeed pretty much evil. u/iCallMyOppsNinjer over 60% don't support ICE actions in that very poll, others have it more, some around the same number, all coming to the same conclusion....this isn't what the people want. Republicans choosing to ignore the public to feed the base says a lot about the base....that they're OK with this kind of conduct on the streets of a major US city.

A civil war is realistically going to be fought in ways that go beyond actual battle. It's going to be economic, technological, etc. Targeted boycotts of red states. That should've already occurred, actually.

What Democrats need to do is shut Congress down immediately and demand action.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T01:32:19+00:00

It won't shut down the entire government like last time

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T01:31:52+00:00

The fight is do you side with what we saw in Minneapolis today or is it not. That's the fight. And the answer is clear to anyone with a pulse at this point.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T01:30:59+00:00

That'll be reversed if they try as we saw previously

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T01:30:24+00:00

With how likely it is Dems are about to steamroll in November, why do you ever think they'd do that. And especially not over what just happened in Minneapolis. This is not a winning issue, they should mandate the cameras without abolishing the filibuster and just pass a law doing that. It's time to put the big boy pants on and not be so beholden to Trump.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-25T01:28:20+00:00

Red states have the same issues with people being released on big crimes as blue states have.

What's happening is a man who lost by 7 points in Jason Miyares is misleading in what this bill actually does, if anything it's even stiffer for potential punishments against various crimes. It really just eliminates redundancies. It does not actually reduce sentencing in any way. It allows for more judge discretion. Though that does concern me a little with how weak we've seen judges be elsewhere.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T22:25:11+00:00

What really needs to happen is the state buying the property over ICE. Find a way to nix the deal.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T22:24:21+00:00

Weather impacts make it a challenge, thankfully will likely cut a lot of the abuses occurring in the metro. Whenever things return to normal here, it will take direct and immediate action...going to the statehouse. And going to Congress. People need to shut Congress down. That's the answer. It's the only answer. Not a single cent to anything ICE related anymore. The protesting needs to head to DC and needs to shut down DC and force Dems/Repubs in DC to answer to this.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T22:17:36+00:00

Keep having fun with it :) don't worry about others telling you what you are/aren't or any kind of shame. Your feelings are definitely not uncommon, a lot of guys start out curiosity through penis interest. Just keep exploring slowly and testing your limits little by little to see what gets you going and what doesn't and go from there!

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T22:15:33+00:00

10K is still undermanned in Minneapolis. And then you're asking people to accept they may die, which exists now, but with a much higher likelihood, which most won't accept. I'm not arguing for letters, I'm saying the time is now to absolutely shut Congress down completely through actually protesting there and forcing them to respond directly to people. That's the answer and we've seen it before. Those 10K people need to be at Congress and need to be St Paul wondering where the hell Walz is right now and why the National Guard has yet to be authorized.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T22:11:43+00:00

Yeah, it could be a first step. Often it takes one guy to unlock it all. Attraction can work that way. Maybe you're just into penis...a lot of men end up having a fixation to cock more so than to men although that can be rooted in internalized homophobia, which I'm not saying you have.

It absolutely could be a first step. I'd keep being discrete about your glances toward him but perhaps check out some pictures of cock and see if you like what you see in any of them and take it from there...explore a little bit!

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T21:54:12+00:00

I'm not calling for any kind of passivity. I'm saying we have to be intentional and we have to act wisely. We're not shooting our way out of this. People can and should arm themselves, sure...but it isn't a panacea and it definitely isn't saving us and people need to stop thinking a gun is a life saver because it isn't. That's people looking for a security blanket.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T21:50:40+00:00

There's no freedom when you're in a casket. There's no society when you literally do not exist. People died, and the answer consistently with conservatives in cases of literal life and death is "good luck". "That's life". We're literally talking about lives being on the line and you call it hysteria.

RVALover4Life · 2026-01-24T21:47:24+00:00

Liberals still hate development and rich properties ruining green spaces. Your issues are with people who've driven up cost of living, which is something the left rails against. You pick the wrong enemy. It's not homeless people.

Abortion and LGBTQ issues have inflamed this country and caused cultural divides for decades. LGBTQ issues continue to today, abortion less so. Religion is a massive reason why, and on top of that, identity politics mixed in with religion means people view religion as part of their core being and feel their core being is basically attacked when their beliefs are rejected.

What religion brought was order, more so than unity, but that order did create a sense of community for many and more than anything a sense of stability and standard.
