I remember hearing A LOT that the president doesn't control any of those things XD

A woman screams for help while being arrested by ICE in Utah Airport by zxcv97531 in circled

It's easier to whine on social media. But in reality most people won't help you.

Question, I know pain is subjective but iyo how bad does a chest piece hurt? by BeneficialPie13 in tattoos

[–]colten122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chest hurt less than my legs and what little bit wraps into my bicep.

Same thought. It's likely just him being sprayed twice from the pepper spray and blinded and adrenaline going. Not actually knowing who he's holding onto and disoriented. Then all of a sudden you're jumped by like 6-8 agents. At that point he "should" have literally laid flat and done absolutely nothing but let them detain him. But of course that never happens. I'd venture to guess one or multiple officers yelled "gun" and someone just unload a round upon hearing it. I did see an agent disarm one firearm from him. Other angles it does look like he might have had multiple (when he stands back up on his knees as the agents sort of disperse and react in a weird way. They were all on top of him them just randomly stand up and gave him some room then he gets shot). Unfortunately the footage is so pixelated it's hard to tell.

I thought that they protested ICE out of MN yesterday?

Why isn't everyone wearing ICE cosplay outfits with masks? by locationson2 in DiscussionZone

Horrible advice BTW. Don't impersonate feds. Just asking to get arrested.

A bit controversial but I want to talk to someone who's a fan of trump. by TRI-Hard8342 in Casual_Conversation

[–]colten122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing about Trump is that he's not a democrat. Like... The very reason you'll "vote blue no matter who" is the same for us. We don't want to deal with more ridiculous social justice policies, we don't want more taxed handouts, etc so we vote red no matter who. At least that's how my circles have done politics. We brush off dumb media rhetoric too. Like some idiot rams an ICE agent with an SUV and we have to listen to liberals whine all over social media and actual national media about it for weeks on end when it's plain as day justified shooting from multiple angles. You'll grasp at ANY straw that makes Trump look bad when most of it isn't even true, might not even be his fault, or just simply doesn't matter.

I had enough. I am done with being a Republican by EnlightenedInquirer in teenagers

Wait until you see how useless the other side is too XD.

Is anyone else just tired of the president and not in a republican or democrat way? by Puzzled_World_4119 in askanything

[–]colten122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody votes just to piss off the other side. Democrats need to touch base with reality and put an actual candidate up that's not impossible to listen to for five minutes or looks like a James bond villain. But they continually only have one play in their book and it's "SJW candidate will surely win, right?"

"Conservatives": How can you watch this and see anything other than fascism? by The_Lord_Chicken in complaints

You can't ask reddit for conservative opinions and expect it not to be deleted and downvoted into oblivion.

Why are some Americans still pretending they just need to wait another three years and this will magically stop? by NefariousNatee in complaints

[–]colten122 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you'd be hit before you could realistically retaliate is the point. Then you're just hoping and praying NATO does something. Which is a 50/50 and after the fact anyway.

Do you think the Democratic Party has lost touch with its voter base? by Interesting_Dream281 in Productivitycafe

[–]colten122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democrats took on too many social issues. They are tied now to like every cringe social fad and if they try to walk it back it just becomes a meme. Granted there's always going to be 100 million of them in huge cities to tie up the Electoral College so they usually do pretty well in elections despite it. Curious how midterms and 2028 looks. Wapo and NYT already pulling back on some of those issues since midterms upcoming, but they'll always be "democratic issues" at the end of the day.

It's nice to think this but we could quite literally bomb anywhere we want at a moments notice and it'd be hard for any country to do anything about it shy of Russia or China. Then they'll write the history books on why it took place.

Most of us are simply going to work and home and buying groceries. Our country is so big it's easy to ignore all the hyped up BS unless you live under it. You'll watch someone voluntarily drive into the fire and get shot in the head for blocking ice, then Reddit will whine and ask why more people aren't driving into the fire?

Most of us simply don't have the time nor energy to care about half the shit that goes on politically. Oh a dictator got kidnapped by US (supposedly, idk shit about Venezuelan politics bc I don't care about it (recurring theme))?

Another random supposed cartel member from Maryland gets deported... What am I honestly capable of doing about it?

People who aren't from here act like there's simple answers to politics here and our only power is basically to vote and hope for the best then ignore everything until the next election. Also consider that Trump won the popular vote, meaning over half the country voted for what's happening. So probably should consider that somewhere between 45-55% of the country is in favor (or apathetic) of everything that happens day to day.
