Every article like this should mention that we have many more democratic state governors and governments than 2016. Trump's ability to enact horrifying plans like those laid out here is contingent on California, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc. letting him. It would create a crisis of federalism if these states coordinated and/or actively disrupted federal agents and actions - that crisis is worth creating. We are only helplessly at the whims of Trump and his court if our leaders choose to be.
That is a fantastic point. I just looked and they have 50% more this time around. Especially on immigration, that's a great opportunity to gum up the works.
I feel like you're being unnecessarily harsh on syphilis here, isn't it much more likely our current elected officials have other STIs? Or is there a resurgence of syphilis like there is of gonorrhea? I feel like tertiary syphilis is an excuse these assholes don't have. Certainly the folks writing the order in 1798 may have had it though.
I loved you in The Rifleman, but you are woefully misinformed about Trump and his supporters. Why would billionaires end neoliberal economic policies that benefit them? That would be, to quote Mr. Spock, illogical. In fact, your whole comment is consistently illogical.
Immigrants documented and undocumented do not drive down wage-growth or make it harder to unionize—capitalism and greedy CEO’s do. Of course, CEO’s will offshore jobs and hire undocumented workers to pay them less but that’s the fault of CEO’s and capitalists not undocumented immigrants who are fleeing war, violence and poverty. Plus if what the above article says turns out to be what happens that will be such a wreck in this country. Also there are no open borders—that’s a right-wing myth. We have a border and Biden deported more people than Trump did as a percentage and raw number. There is no real border crisis, the only crisis is large numbers of Latin American peoples are fleeing war and poverty and violence and climate change which is a result of decades of US violence and meddling in their countries’ affairs. Birthright citizenship has been interpreted to mean that undocumented immigrants kids are citizens as well (though I wouldn’t be surprised if SCOTUS overturns it). Also the local working class has far more in common with foreign workers than they do the CEO’s, the proletariat is international. Also mass deportation while against most neo-liberals ideas doesn’t fundamentally harm neoliberalism and therefore capitalism itself (by the way the problem isn’t just neoliberalism, but capitalism as a whole).
Immigrants don’t drive down wage growth, wage growth is lessened by corporations and billionaires who by choice pay workers less. Even if no immigrant workers existed, wages are stagnating because of rampant deregulation, accelerating CEO wages, and the destruction of unions. Also most undocumented workers work in industries and jobs that Americans don’t want to do or are less inclined to do like farm work, seasonal food picking, manual labor, construction, etc. When I say corporations I’m referring to any business whether small or large. I don’t despise Americans as an American myself but I understand that national borders are just political lines and international relationships between people are fostered all the time. World history is a concept which has existed for centuries, and yes there IS an international proletariat, particularly as the world has become increasingly globalized over the past few decades. Biden deported throughout his term though definitely ramped up after the end of the COVID-19 emergency in 22. There are and have not been any open borders in recent American history. Also the American “middle class” has been destabilized and eradicated over the past 50 years due to evolutions in American capitalism, as not just neoliberalism but capitalism itself is the problem.
"My comment isn’t irrational, you just either don’t understand it, or it doesn’t conform to your narrative."
I'm so tired of motherfuckers misquoting what I wrote. I said you were misinformed and illogical. I think you're totally rational, dude. But I love that since MY comment doesn't conform to your narrative I must have misunderstood.
Let me clarify. You don't know shit from Shinola about MAGA or Trump voters. You clearly don't know shit about Trump. There is no concerted effort to "import mass migration." You New World Order types are 70 years behind the times. BTW, are you a libertarian?
Fair enough. I was more cross about not quoting me right. I'm dealing with MAGA from a larger statistical population. I don't believe ANYTHING The Donnie says. He will flip flop more than a striped bass after you reel it in.

lol you're right. I apologize to syphilis for getting caught in my crossfire.
Testing for syphilis is like testing cognitive ability. Unnecessary for elected officials.
I'm operating from the assumption that at least one type of herpes is required to run for any public office.
I heard he wants to overturn the Magna Carta.
He just formally ended the Social Contract.
It was Mandate Destiny for him to do so. Also, I heard Gingrich's Contract For America has been deemed null and void.
The very definition of conservative! Wanting to return to a previous time.
If you think MAGA is against neoliberal capitalism, I've got a fully-finished Mexican border wall to sell you.
