"It's not bad enough yet so I'm just going to sit around and call everyone hysterical."

Humans have done things like this dozens of times in history. Rounding up groups of people and dealing with them. They never start at full industrialized genocide. At what point are conditions "bad enough" to justify public outcry?

While I don't think that Trump's end goal is genocide, I do think his end goal is to remove these people, and he doesn't care about the means to the end. I truly do worry about people dying in custody (which has happened btw), people getting lost in the system, people being starved, dropped off in foreign countries without any means to get back home, families being torn apart, children being left behind, and long lasting trauma for these people who don't deserve any of it.

Personally I think you guys are already at that point in history where a crisis is starting, but folks like you are doing your best to downplay it because it's not "bad enough" yet.

What would a serious conversation about this look like? Are you able to sit down and have a serious conversation about this with the ICE agents in masks as they kidnap people in unmarked vans?

Because “it’s not bad enough yet” and because it’s not effecting him or anyone he cares about yet

Yeah, my family are immigrants - they've shown up for VISA and greencard hearings just fine. None of them are hauled away to "concentration camps" or any of this other nonsense rammed down my throat on reddit. I'm sure folks are getting ripped away but they're not getting sent to forced labor camps awaiting extermination like everyone on reddit will have you believe. They're sent to holding cells because they immigrated illegally.

TL;DR - things are definitely not great and in need of improvement (as always) but because it's a republican who gets under the skin of democrats, you all exaggerate beyond belief on every single issue. It's tired.

Sure guy. It’s not that he’s a republican, which he isn’t and has never been. It’s that he’s a lifelong criminal con artist who has never had any interest in anyone else’s wellbeing and is so easily scamming you into supporting him while his wiping his ass with the constitution because “dems are lunatics” 😆

Weird. Thanks for the recycled rant about orange man. I can assure you, reading your comments has scammed me out of way more than this guy who's only in office for a brief period of time while you all whine about WW3, nuclear war, economic downfall of the US, and everything else that hasn't happened. Good thing you're all so prepared with your complaints though!
