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."

MAGA is white nationalism.
Corporate media is terrified of admitting this.
Trump is a criminal.
Corporate media is terrified of admitting this.
ICE is a criminal agency empowered as a secret state police, or in German, "Geheime Staatspolizei".
Gestapo is the abbreviation of "Geheime Staatspolizei".
Democrats dream in living in 3rd world sh*tholes. And nothing closer approximates a 3rd world sh*thole than a Democratic Party run City/ State.
What the poster of ChongLy Thao does say is that ICE broke down his door, he was woken up from a nap and stated he had all his papers. ICE didn't care and took him anyway. They drove him around for an hour asking him questions. At one point they stopped and made him get out of the car (again in his underwear and in sub zero windchills). Thao thought he was going to be beat up or shot at this point. They took his photo, fingerprinted him and THEN realized they had the wrong guy. They took him back to his house to THEN review his naturalization papers...
My son and family were out on the streets protesting

But the wife got cold hands after a half hour - -6 deg and a 20 mph wind will do that, as I recall from living in MN for 12 yrs. Nice an warm in Texas, a zillion immigrants and no ICE. Go figure.
Well, thanks for coming by and showing us that you don't know what you're talking about, and that you seem to be in a rage. And that's understandable because Trump has made a worldwide ass of himself and is detested and rejected by all people of good will.
As for your incorrect information about living in a Democratic Party run "shithole," you really don't get out much, do you.
Massachusetts, a Democratic Party-run state is the smartest, with more people with secondary degrees than other states, it has the most citizens with health coverage, among the lowest infant and maternal mortality rates, teen pregnancy rates, and divorce rates, and scores the among the highest for quality of life issues.
States like Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah, and Hawaii consistently rank high in quality of life, with Massachusetts often leading overall scores, Minnesota strong in well-being, and New Hampshire excelling in health and socioeconomic factors.
The worst? Mississippi. A state that's been run by Republicans for decades, followed by Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisiana, and other red states.
Based on recent analyses, states frequently cited as having the worst quality of life and ranking low on various metrics (health, poverty, education, safety) include Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, West Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas, with many of these consistently appearing in the bottom tiers of "red states" for overall well-being in reports from sources like CNBC, Newsweek, and World Population Review. These states often struggle with poor access to healthcare, higher poverty rates, lower life expectancies, and weaker educational outcomes, though some, like Texas, see high in-migration despite these issue.
You can have your own opinion, but you can't have your own facts.
And the facts are that red states overall are what you would call "shithole" states. I wouldn't
I'd call them unfortunate to have put their trust in Republican policies. Most of them suffer from poor quality of life.
Sounds like you just need a few more illegals, Shaw. SANCTUARY!
btw - Why do you think that Somali's didn't settle in Boston? Were the resettlement officials racist in protecting the Brahmin WASPs?
Thersites would rather live in a semi-literate Podunk in West Virginia where nobody has a full set of teeth, but meth, moonshine, and fentanyl are easy to find.
Once they find out he's a Jew, he won't be welcomed anymore, as he would be in NYC.
