So you want a dictator? You want random tariffs based on Trump's gut feeling? You want foreign-looking US citizens to be detained at will by ICE? You want every part of the government to be corrupt, rampant insider trading based on political decisions? You want a government that retaliates against companies and people it doesn't like, and uses the force of the government to harrass them?


None of what you said is true.

You're the bubble I'm talking about.

Until people like you start dealing in facts the pendulum will continue to swing right as it pushes people like me further in that direction.


You deny that ICE has arrested US citizens and only released them after hours or days?

You deny that Trump and his family are using their political status to earn money?

You that Trump's tarrif policy is erratic, with vague announcements on social media that are often reverted or not followed through later?


You're not arguing with someone who is willing to change their mind. Vague responses about "this is what I voted for" and "you're forcing me and others to vote for Trump" are typical signs of someone who's in the cult. It's common for them to feign interest in multiple parties, but they were always going to vote for the Republican candidate and proclaim Dems are the evil elites.

This is common with "centrists", "moderates", "undecided", etc... they'll always be shy Republicans who are too scared to say that they're drinking the kool-aid.


When I argue about stuff like this on the internet, I'm never talking to just the person I'm replying to. It's always mostly for the other readers.


Is it not true that non-illegal immigrants are experiencing more harassment from ICE? And that foreigners entering the US are more likely to be detained, especially if they have anything that might be perceived as anti-Trump on their social media?

I don't live in the US, so I have no direct experience (though I travel there for work once or twice a year)


Come now, be reasonable. You have one side denying climate change, wiping government websites of climate data. You have Trump, the most lying politician in history, who rampantly cheats at golf, and is a pedophile and liar about Epstein. Talking about facts, the GOP has thrown reality to the wind. At least have the wit to see your side doesn’t care about base reality, and admit it. It’s a party of the religious right and corporations, which has been taken over by Trump and a cult of personality has set in. None of these people are served by truth.


We can only conclude yes. Or rather, these people want Federal government violence and troops on the street because they just hate "immigrants" that much. I'm surprised they haven't chiseled the poem off the Statue of Liberty yet.
