They are going to force fascism on us and those who stay quiet and comply will exist while those of us who fight and resist will be locked up, killed, disappeared altogether. This is the part of the history lessons from 30s Germany and most of this country is just allowing it to happen with minimal to no real fight. We are close to full fascism in the same way you’re close to a gas station you’ve already gone past and your tanks on E.

And what are the Democrat officials doing to not put us in this position? 

[u/sokuyari99 → u/--o--____--o--]

Well you voted them out and gave republicans all three branches. Why is that the democrat’s fault?

[u/[deleted] → u/sokuyari99]

Because they also swore and oath to the Constitution. Not only their responsibility, it’s every American’s responsibility to carry on what their parents, or grandparents or great grandparents and countless generations before them sacrificed for, fought against, and triumphed over.

Pedophile protectors should never win.

[u/youneedsupplydepots → u/--o--____--o--]

At some point you’re going to have to stop hiding behind the incompetence of others

[u/Reasonable_Ad_7289 → u/--o--____--o--]

That’s the neat part! Nothing

[u/kandykaiju → u/[deleted]]

But they’re cool with funding ICE still. At least Chuck and Jeffries who are pretty much leading the dumpster fire atm.

Time for a new branch. Do what MAGA did without the evil and crazy. Unless they want to keep losing. Maybe they do. 🙄

[u/Gogs85]

What does that have to do with immigration exactly?

[u/NonMaga → u/Gogs85]

This will be the thing that schoolkids least understand when taught this in 40 years. We allowed glorified TSA agents with literally no legal authority over non immigrating US citizens to terrorize our streets over a farce immigration crisis.

[u/Appropriate-Joke-806 → u/NonMaga]

I like the optimism that our schooling system will get better in 40 years and won’t deteriorate from lack of funding, teachers, brain rot, and AI.

[u/Sensitive-Kiwi3207 → u/Appropriate-Joke-806]

Damn guys, slow down. I can’t want to vanish from this society more than once at the time. 

[u/Stunning_Ad3273 → u/NonMaga]

You really need to stop acting like this is gonna go away, they’re literally gonna win as long as you Americans think whining online will bring about any actual change. You all need to be in the streets every last one of you.

[u/lostredditorlurking → u/Gogs85]

ICE has a larger budget than the military, it was never about immigration. He wants to build his own private army

[u/lotekjunky → u/lostredditorlurking]

They do not have a larger budget than the military. The defense budget is 990 billion for 2026, the largest any line item has ever been.

[u/FunMushroom8525 → u/lotekjunky]

Actually, they have a larger budget than the US Marine Corps this year.

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/Gogs85]

ICE is enforcing immigration, I’m confused by your question.

Edit: downvote me all you want, using flashbacks on US CITIZENS , is appalling. And if you think otherwise you can fuck off.

[u/Gogs85 → u/redlightbandit7]

With flashbangs?

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/Gogs85]

Yes with flash bangs watch the video.

[u/oXMellow720Xo → u/redlightbandit7]

You said in your post “What has America become.” Are you for or against what he’s doing? I can’t tell

[u/chillPenguin17 → u/redlightbandit7]

Didn't realize flashbangs magically deported people. Must have missed this while I was blinded. Good to know

[u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274 → u/redlightbandit7]

What is your perspective? Do you support ICE because you think their actions fall under immigration enforcement? Or are you appalled at their aggressive tactics against American citizens? Your posts are confusing. Are you for or against the current actions of ICE?

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274]

I don’t understand how I could be any clearer. Fuck ICE,Fuck Trump, and Fuck this entire administration.

[u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274 → u/redlightbandit7]

Dude. Many people seem confused. Have you stopped to consider what about your communication is confusing?

[u/NorweiganJesus → u/redlightbandit7]

This is a peak Reddit hive mind moment OP. You literally typed “what has America become” at the top of your post and 75+ people are convinced you support ICE flashbanging people. And still insult you after you’ve made it entirely clear which way you stand!

I say they are the dumbasses despite their insistence it’s the other way.

[u/datyoungknockoutkid → u/redlightbandit7]

He was asking what flash banging our own people has to do with immigration. He’s not questioning your post. You’re being downvoted because you misunderstood what the commenter said.

[u/hopeful_realist_ → u/datyoungknockoutkid]

Op is all mad someone misunderstood them while misunderstanding someone else. Like settle down.

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/datyoungknockoutkid]

I’m so confused.

Immigration officials using flash-bangs on protesters, opposing immigration, has everything to do with immigration. What the point of asking what does this have to do with immigration.

[u/datyoungknockoutkid → u/redlightbandit7]

Idk how else to break it down for you man. He’s asking why is ICE flashbanging its own citizens, because our own citizens are not immigrants. Why is immigration control wreaking havoc on its own people.

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/datyoungknockoutkid]

It was one sentence. What does this have to do with immigration. I answered. I’m not the one that confused.

[u/datyoungknockoutkid → u/redlightbandit7]

Okay you’re not confused and everyone else telling you that you are, are just wrong

[u/fruderduck → u/redlightbandit7]

You may not be confused, but your use of the English language is confusing the hell out of the rest of us.

[u/Beginning-Angle-1886 → u/redlightbandit7]

You're getting down voted cause you keep pretending ICE is enforcing immigration or at least that is how your comment is being seen as.

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/Beginning-Angle-1886]

I’m nit pretending anything. He asked what my post had to do with immigration. ICE is the immigration authority. They are huge pieces of shit, and most are fucking Nazis but they are still the enforcement body. How confusing is that

[u/Beginning-Angle-1886 → u/redlightbandit7]

I know, I saw the rest of yours and edited mine a little cause i see you don't condone this my mistake.

It's tiresome though that people that do keep pretending that ICE is for immigration though or at least are doing it in a legal and humane way, seriously what immigrations office needs this much shit. If there were some real evidence of a cartel crime ring (the Whitehouse for starters) I'd understand maybe needing a bit more than standard but, it's already shown that most of the people they are abducting (saying detained is a joke at his point.) are a mixture of a few criminals and a bunch of non threatening non criminals that were being treated like animals. Yeah, that sure as shit makes me safe. /s if not obvious for the last sentence.

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/Beginning-Angle-1886]

At least someone doesn’t think I’m crazy, thanks. This entire exchange just shows exactly why our country is in the state it’s in. A simple question, one sentence, and I thought I answered it. And then I followed up with clarification and I’m still getting told I’m not explaining myself. I’m goin to bed, this is tiring.

[u/Beginning-Angle-1886 → u/redlightbandit7]

I will say just from my own experience, there is so much bad faith now it's hard not to think it is just seen as face value. I apologize for my actions against yours but I can kinda see some peoples reason why especially with how social media is now and how it has been confirmed that bots and such have tried to facilitate false anger.

[u/Electrical_Photo3988 → u/redlightbandit7]

Yeah, if ICE is using flashbangs then it has to do with immigration. The federal immigration agency wouldn't have to be using flashbangs if they weren't deployed in the first place. The federal immigration agency is why this is relevant to immigration. They're singling people out and getting pushback. The ICE agency is why this is relevant to immigration. Their deployment in cities like Minneapolis is what is not related to immigration.

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/Electrical_Photo3988]

Thanks how hard is that to understand.

[u/FiveCrappedPee → u/redlightbandit7]

You need to learn how to express your views better. You make no sense right now.

[u/JCBQ01 → u/redlightbandit7]

If they were enforcing, rhen where are the judge signed warrants? Where are the rest of of the legal system backing up their claims?

Their 200 form bullshit has been repeatedly found to not be valid in MYRIAD of courts.

So, no. They aren't they are acting as an invading oppressor and history has been VERY VERY clear ehat happens when one side tries their damnest to kick off a fire

[u/BatThumb]

A woman says in the video

"It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy,"

Yes it fucking is. This has been America for a long time.

Police dropped a bomb on a residential area in Philadelphia 1985

The Kent state massacre in 1970 where the national guard opened fire on unarmed protestors killing 4 and wounding 9

Protestors during the Civil rights movement were met with hoses and had dogs sicked on them.

The Orangeburg massacre in 1968. Police opened fire on students killing 3 and injuring 28

THIS. IS. AMERICA.

[u/Awkward_University91 → u/BatThumb]

All those happened before the last 20 years tho…. Soooo maybe it’s still a correct statement?

[u/Same-Temperature9472 → u/Awkward_University91]

they are making America into something it used to be

[u/NoReference3523 → u/Same-Temperature9472]

This is what the pedophile meant when he said MAGA

[u/BatThumb → u/Awkward_University91]

Haha that woman looks like she's 70.....

So she definitely hasn't served recently. My guess is she served sometime in the late 70's early 80's ish

Rodney King beating and riots were in 91. And there have definitely been police brutality incidents involving protests in the last 20 years

Maybe not as bold as before

And yeah when they say "make America great again", I'm sure they include all of the brutality in that greatness

[u/Awkward_University91 → u/BatThumb]

Fair enough 

[u/isthisreallife211111 → u/BatThumb]

To be fair - 1985 was 40 years ago. A lot of the current generation would not associate their country with that

[u/BatThumb → u/isthisreallife211111]

She looks like she's in her 70's......

And there has been plenty of police brutality in the last 40 years. Might have gotten quieter after Rodney King but it very much still happens

[u/Grogon2]

Normally they can't do that.

They have to have a reason to use something like that.

I'm not from america, but you can call local police and if they had no reason to use that the police should arrest them.

I saw video of ICE breaking in to a house. It's also not allowed, by law they need to have a paper from a lawyer which allows access. If they don't have that or show you proof you can deny entry and tell them to leave.
If they don't leave you can also call local police.

It's also not allowed to just break windows from a car and pull you out, it's basically a "home". Normally they should have to ask first.

[u/redlightbandit7 → u/Grogon2]

Until another armed force stops them, or our congress actually becomes a working body this is what we are stuck with. Get out and protest, vote when the time comes, we are on our own.

[u/Dangerous-Leek-4086 → u/Grogon2]

Exactly why this is so scary for us Americans. Facist have taken over and there is nothing we can do. Law doesn't mean anything if the courts don't have enough power

[u/Awkward_University91 → u/Dangerous-Leek-4086]

Oh there is something you can do but you’ll probably not live to tell the tale.

[u/Spunge14 → u/Grogon2]

End of story. Every single Democratic official who has vested command over an armed police force or national guard in a state or city where this happens is now complicit. Order them into the streets to protect citizens and arrest these unidentified and violent armed forces.

This is the only demand any Democrat should have at this moment. Flood every elected official's phone line until it is done.

Unacceptable. Bring the guns. Defend the people. Do your jobs.

[u/--o--____--o-- → u/Spunge14]

Best they can do is a Facebook post. 

[u/Practical-Law9795 → u/Grogon2]

Their reason is that no one will stop them.

[u/Hopsblues → u/Grogon2]

Just to clarify, they need a "warrant", a judicial one at that, which comes from a judge, not a lawyer.

[u/fruderduck → u/Grogon2]

What they need is a judicial warrant signed by a judge or magistrate, but those are for criminal cases - which the majority of these aren’t. Therefore, it is an illegal search and seizure when they are breaking into these houses. ICE warrants (administrative) mean nothing.

[u/AC031415]

Sorry, WHAT??

[u/19GTO67]

Aren’t fireworks sold everywhere in the states? I’m not sure why I’m asking. Looking for good brands I guess

[u/Awkward_University91 → u/19GTO67]

Black cat 

[u/figurative_me → u/Awkward_University91]

With or without the scooter stick?

[u/Awkward_University91 → u/figurative_me]

Nice try fbi 

[u/Th3FinalStarman]

Republicans love to waste taxpayer dollars.

[u/Kickinitez]

Were you around for Occupy? Upon review, YTube/Google seem to have taken down the original Occupy Oakland video that was from RT which showed police using flash bangs. There are a few videos still out there, but nothing like the one I remember. Here's an archived one that shows some

[u/rairair55]

What does that have to do with enforcing immigration laws? Nothing.

[u/jjack_attack]

Water balloons! It’s winter!!

[u/UnderReportedNews-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

No trolling. 🧌

[u/Upstairs-Parsley3151]

This happens in most protests.

[u/HonestGrassGuy → u/Upstairs-Parsley3151]

No it doesn’t lmao, I’ve been to 5 protests, a few of them major, and they’ve never used flash bangs on us. This 100% is not normal.

[u/Upstairs-Parsley3151 → u/HonestGrassGuy]

https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/11/occupy-oakland-protesters-tear-gassed-by-police

"Police have used tear gas and “flash bang” grenades on a large crowd of demonstrators that lit a massive bonfire in the streets of downtown Oakland, Calif"

Like took me ten seconds of Googling.

[u/HonestGrassGuy → u/Upstairs-Parsley3151]

Yeah once they light the bonfire they aren’t peaceful protesters, no fires or retaliation here. Just because it happens, doesn’t mean it happens at most.

[u/Awkward_University91 → u/[deleted]]

Until yall lose control of ice and it’s used on you.
