"DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU THIS IS ABOUT IMMIGRATION."

 

We are no longer living in the America of our parents and grandparents. Trump's goons are in Minnesota, a blue state, which has many, many fewer undocumented immigrants than Texas and Florida, terrorizing and brutalizing anyone they suspect, including American citizens.

What happened to you America that made you accept what we've seen in the past perpetrated by authoritarian/fascist regimes?

h/t Dave Miller:

Where have we seen these unAmerican, unConstitutional tactics before:

Here:  The Captain of the Mother Ship admires a dictator/fascist:

HAVE ANY OF YOU HEARD OF EL SALVADOR’S PRESIDENT, NAYIB BUKELE?  I’ve been a fan since before he took office.   My house helper is Salvadoran, was just there, and says the people LOVE him and are trying to figure legislation to where he can stay in office past the legal limit!!!!!    He is a big Trump supporter, by the way.  Young, effective, puts his country first.

HOW THE HECK DO THEY GET RID OF CARTELS?  HOW DO THEY GET AS CLEAN AS BUKELE HAS MADE EL SALVADOR?

MAGA have given up all pretenses of believing in Constitutional rights and the law. As you can see above, they clearly admire a tyrant, just like they admire the tyrant who's taken up residence in the People's House: 

This is who they hope Trump emulates more than he already has. 

IMO, they are NOT Americans who hold dear what made us "The Shining City on the Hill." Trump and his MAGAs have destroyed that ideal and have made us international pariahs.

This is what they want for America:

"Bukele has heavily militarized Salvadoran society, sending the army and police into the streets and, in 2020, into the national legislature to intimidate opposition. 

State of Exception: Since 2022, a continuous "state of exception" has allowed for the arrest of tens of thousands without warrants, resulting in significant human rights abuses, including allegations of torture and illegal detentions. 

Consolidation of Power: Bukele has replaced Supreme Court judges and the attorney general with loyalists, and pushed through constitutional changes to allow for his own re-election, creating a one-party-dominated state. 

Authoritarian Rhetoric: He has self-described as the "world's coolest dictator," and uses social media to block critics and cultivate a cult of personality. 

Far-Right Alliances: Bukele has developed close ties with the American far-right and the MAGA movement, with observers noting similarities in their political strategies."
