Its not like there are enough people in the country illegally to fill the concentration camps the budget bill is going to pay for
Well… if you look a the history of the US you COULD argue that most of its inhabitants are offspring of illegal immigrants, sooo…
I can’t get over just how short sighted MAGA is… They give the president this power like it will never be used against them by the next Democrat president.
You think the democrats would actually do that? They’d make a big deal about how they won’t do that, because they are cowards. The only spine they ever grow is when their corporate owners tell them to. Other than that, they care about nothing but maintaining the status quo.
Probably not, but one can hope
That’s fair
Funny thing is. Republicans allow their red-ass state legislatures to gerrymander their districts, while democrats act so high and nobel implementing their “non-partisan” commissions to “draw fair districts”.
The house is forever skewed in favor of the right wing unless democrats play dirty and also gerrymander the shit out of those seats.
Traitors, all of them.
Citizenship? I think you mean Party Membership.
But I thought they were only going after people in the country illegally, I thought they were okay with immigration as long as they followed legal processes (sarcasm)
next up: calling it a “concentration camp” is grounds to have your citizenship revoked
Imagine getting murdered by the regime for saying “alligator auschwitz”
the year is 2025, a Chinese citizen responds to the Tiananmen Square copypasta with a picture of BB Vance and the Alligator Auschwitz copypasta. The American citizen’s internet access is immediately cut off and they are ordered to lay face down outside where the Amazon Prime predator drone can see them to wait for an ICE collection crew.
EU Citizens be making fun of both regimes
As well they should
take it seriously. fascist regimes wont’ tolerate criticism, or mockery, or pointing out how fucking evil they are. the direction we’re rapidly mimicking is north korea. btw fun fact: it’s illegal to call it “north korea” in north korea; it’s “democratic people’s republic of korea,” and south korea isn’t called south korea, it’s called “puppet regime”
“that could never happen in america!!!” too many people are still saying
while it’s literally happening
I feel like a boiling fn frog at this point.
you’re not alone. it’s so depressing, shit getting worse every single day. whatever “good” things are happening don’t outweigh the fascism
I’m in my forties, and it just feels like we’ve been constantly losing ground since Obama left office, I’m just so frustrated by all of the apathy, corruption, and dishonesty, and have been since 2015.
same. add to that, that everyone i try to talk to about this would rather pretend it’s somehow going to get better, or that somehow “the law” will catch up to these fascists and stop them in their tracks.
i guess we’ve been conditioned to believe that the bad things will just go away if we just say ‘this is fine’
the protests are a noble effort. but they’ve done nothing
Not gonna have to imagine it for long
“If you have one group of people who feels very comfortable that their citizenship is secure, they will feel much more comfortable being politically active,” she said. “And if you have another group of people who worries that if their political activity gets on the wrong side of somebody in power, that their lives and livelihoods might be vulnerable — that is a lesser citizenship. That is a reason why people might step back from political participation.”
And there it is, reduce resistance little by little, then eliminate everyone.
Second amendment looking like the only alternative.
Too late, the opposition (my fellow Democrats) made sure most of us aren’t armed.
Sounds like a personal problem.
“Most of us aren’t armed”? Homie US citizens own 120 guns per 100 people. The fucking answer to absolutely every problem here, left or right, has been to arm themselves. We have literally never had more left-wing people carrying pistols.
Like Jesus Christ, someone got shot and killed at the ‘No Kings’ rally in Idaho, and all three parties involved were left-wing. I am not sure what planet you’re on, but it ain’t Earth.
Chilling effect until barren tundra. Got it.
They even made us memorize this one in grade school:
- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Note that this says nothing about having to be a citizen for this to apply to you, either. And while we’re at it, see also this.
The right of the people would be interpreted to be citizens 100% guaranteed.
Well you see, congress isn’t making a law, the executive branch is just doing blatantly illegal shit with impunity, because congress is full of spineless coward sellouts
Meanwhile, the plan is to feed everyone who isnt white enough to alligators.
So like anyone not in the party will be excluded from society?
Those who gain citizenship through unlawful means and endanger our national security will not maintain the benefits of being an American citizen
Lmao… Benefits? What exactly are those benefits? Not being on the receiving end of a bombing? Not having our country destabilized by a narcissist (we don’t even get that benefit anymore). Having healthcare taken away? A secret police force take you away for wrongthink? Lol benefits of being an American…
Bruh what do you mean the best American benefit is living in a 3rd world country while giving your taxes to hardworking billionaires who use it to control you and blowing up brown kids in the Middle East
Very true! I’m so ungrateful! :(
Have you even said thank you?
Only country in the world to tax based on citizenship instead of residency… Being forced to declare taxes as an expat is a hassle. What are these benefits they speak of??? I’d gladly give mine up if it wasn’t such a hassle and so expensive to do so.
Here’s a question I have never understood about this. I understand all of this if you are planning on returning to living in the US at some point. But if you’ve moved to a foreign country with no plans on returning to the US, why are you still paying taxes? What is stopping you from telling the US government to go pound sand?
I’m not meaning to sound sarcastic. It’s a legit question. I don’t know how any of this works and the issues surrounding it. Because I would think that if I lived in a foreign country I’d be telling Uncle Sam where he can stick his tax bill. That’s kinda the whole point of leaving. What prevents people from doing this, especially if they don’t plan to return to the US?
FATCA Act. Canada and USA have an agreement. The USA can literally take money from a Canadian citizen’s bank account.
Extradition.
Well, you guys had a good run being a semi normal country. Now you’re fucked.
semi normal
Extremely generous thank you for that.
No worries mate, you had a good run, all things come to an end and all that!. On a serious note I do empathise a bit for the normals among you. But as a recipient of some foreign policy freedom in the 80s by the USS new Jersey on Beirut, I wish I could be selective in whose face the leopards eat under this administration. Unfortunately I can’t.
This administration is traitorous and needs to be removed immediately. They are enemies of the American people and the American States themselves.
It’s not just the administration. Every republican, and many democrats in congress anre also supporting this.
I have three nationalities. Born in Argentina and was naturalized at 8 yrs old in the USA when my parents moved. Been living in Canada since 2000 and also a citizen. I am legally bound to declare taxes in the US, even if I never made a penny working there. Revoking citizenship is expensive and requires a lot of paperwork. Fuck you MAGA, fuck you Trump. Take my citizenship away, I’ll gladly give it back. I’ll save thousands per year not having to deal with your backwards ass-shit citizenship based tax laws.
I had PRC Citizenship, then got US citizenship, PRC doesn’t do Dual Citizenship, so I lost that.
Idk what the fuck is gonna happen to me. I know like 10 words in Mandarin. I’m not quite fond of the CCP (fucking hate then), so no way they’ll even want me, this just mean I’m stateless.
Perhaps being stateless makes it easier for me to drive to Canada and beg for asylum? Go to EU maybe?
I’m gonna be famous as an airport resident like these people
For most US citizens, losing citizenship means being stateless. Nobody will advocate for us when we’re in CECOT
I see her facial masks made of slaughtered-infants’ baby fat are working well.
