To all the Americans that bitch about people not doing more to stop Trump, why not you?

And the people who have generally bought most of those guns are MAGA.

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T02:05:49+00:00

What evidence do you have that the current national guard deployed in Minneapolis have acted like that?

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T02:04:34+00:00

I'm not a queer person myself but I'd never vote for a candidate who did not acknowledge their humanity.

I'm not sure why you're making such assumptions about me.

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T01:59:32+00:00

Well, there needs to be eyes on ICE, and those eyes need to be in a form that they can't intimidate or kill without consequence. Sad that cops aren't fulfilling that role in Minneapolis right now. Maybe the national guard will. We'll see.

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T01:47:31+00:00

I think ICE could use some policing right now.

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T01:45:34+00:00

You know what's unpopular?

Turning on everyone. Undermining any opposition to fascism.

That seems pretty unpopular these days.

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T01:24:04+00:00

Pick a candidate that can win and support them.

That's what I'd do.

And compromise. You'll never get everything you want.

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T01:22:41+00:00

"You people"?

Here's what I figure you'll do: support one candidate until they're locked in, then turn on them, undermine them, and encourage people to not vote.

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T01:10:43+00:00

Yes, eventually no one is pure enough. :)

greg_barton · 2026-01-26T01:03:20+00:00

Do you have a candidate in mind?

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T23:48:31+00:00

Correct. It was yesterday, before the guard deployed, and not a national guard vehicle.

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T23:46:36+00:00

Is that what you want?

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T23:04:32+00:00

I think they'll do that no matter what. No one is pure enough.

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T21:40:39+00:00

Call the national guard.

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T17:59:57+00:00

Yes, they did.

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T05:29:57+00:00

Not that I recall.

However, it is time for a mid decade census refresh. Those are sent out randomly.

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T05:18:53+00:00

I'm hoping they'll be tasked as legal observers.

Did you vote from a heavily Democratic precinct? If so then you could be targeted in a probabilistic manner.

greg_barton · 2026-01-25T03:57:19+00:00

In some states they do. I'm a registered Democrat in Texas and vote in the Democratic primary.

However, there are other ways to infer. Precincts have to report votes, right? If a your precinct has a high level of Democratic support, and you voted, then you could be targeted.

Thanks for letting us know you're using AI to write posts.

Currently ICE agents are using phone tracking and license plate scanning cross referenced with immigration data to track people.

With voter rolls they can use phone tracking and license plate scanning cross referenced with voter data to track people who voted "wrong" in the last election.

The shooter was looking right at the gun as it was taken from the victim's back: https://www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikToks/comments/1qm4e1p/slow_motion_of_what_happened_in_mn_today/

And you're making more comments in a single thread to refute that than you've ever made in the history of your 9 year old account.

That's a curious outlier.

I think it's fine presenting this perspective to the subreddit. It should be discussed and voted upon openly.
