By “maybe something can be done,” I just mean something to stabilize us. Something to give us a new normal. But, there’s no going back to where we were at in 2024. The US as a whole is finished and something else will take its place

No. Even if he’s gone, the world is irrevocably changed. We’re all going together on this dark ride. The sooner people realize that, the better. Then maybe something can be done.

They also didn’t say he was innocent, the opposite actually. The official narrative is that he’s super guilty of a million crimes, he was just “administratively” deported incorrectly, however the deportation is still serendipitous and deserved.

Obviously, he’s innocent. That’s clear for anyone except the most die-hard MAGA cultist. So, like, the average FOX viewer

Also worth mentioning that they’ve only been snatching people off the street, meaning people who didn’t have any active warrants. If they did have warrants, they probably would have been arrested already. They’re not deporting people who are already in prison. At this point, “criminal” means anyone suspected of a crime, and that suspicion extends to any kind of criminal record, even if you’ve already served time.

Obviously, they’re going to drop the “criminal” pretense soon enough, but they will start grabbing ex-felons first. I’m terrified for members of my family who absolutely fit the description of these kinds of targets: ex-felons with tattoos who look vaguely brown.

Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

actually the opposite! everyone here just expects to never see their deposit ever again
