... Who is 'they'?

Did you expect the pedophiles and their underlings to ... arrest themselves?

Is it really this hard for people to process that the government is now totally illegitimate, captured by a literal cabal of corrupt child raping terrorists?

Are we still working through that American Exceptionalism, that 'it can't happen here'?

It did happen.

Like a year and half ago now.

It will only continue to get worse, much worse; no one is coming to save you.

Other than perhaps yourself, and anyone else who refuses to just follow orders, go along with the plan.

The second amendment boys seem weirdly quiet lately. They used to boast to us Europeans about their heroic fantasy how they'll single-handedly topple a tyrannical government with their funny little Yanklashnikov. And now... nothing...

This did not happen in the past year and a half, it just became blatantly obvious at that point, to even those that do not read between the lines. This is been over a half century in the making. This President just seized control of the machine the oligarchs made to further their business and warped political interests.

You are corrrect, I'm just trying to spoon feed this to liberals who cannot concieve of a world without a widely recognized authority that is a 'good guy'.

Ten years… at least.

Republican voters. Full stop.

There was a recent partisan election in Kentucky between a total Trump loyalist - just CTRL-C+CTRL-V of the shitlord/AIPAC’s latest tweet - against a general conservative Republican that was criticizing Israel, Trump, and the Democrats, and wanted the best for his party and state. He also wanted to release the Epstein files.

The first guy won.

THAT electorate - those real, physical human beings with salient, reachable decisions, is “they”.

So you're telling me you expected Republican Massie voters, ... to... arrest wealthy and powerful child rapists?

The 'they' in the image is ... the people who would be arresting wealthy and power child rapists.

I mean, I guess probably some Massie Republicans are cops?

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I'll assume you're not just being pedantic. Had Massie won, arresting pedophiles would get a lot easier. This doesn't demand a large posse to organize, fight against police, and tie up a man in a mansion. It requires them to go to a nearby fire station or school, and mark a not-paedophile with a pen. That's it. And it's telling that that was too much for them.

If we get to a point where 80% of Americans are voting against the madness, and the government simply refuses to acknowledge votes or disarm, we can wrap back to the "Who is they?" comments. But right now, this is happening by choice, not lack of effort.

… Who is ‘they’?

The two ruling parties in the US.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

"Who is they"

The people ICE gets protested for killing. US would ignore and even celebrate later your death if you are any of poor, lgbtq, or non white-american.

Alternatively dems while they had the power and everyone already knew what he did and he didn't have entire US military protecting him.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 16 hours ago

No, the 'they' in that sentence is the people who would be arresting people in the Epstein files.

People with the legal ability to arrest people, to order they be arrested.

You seem to be saying that... the ICE resistance in Minneapolis... was who you expected to arrest Trump and half his advisors.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Its not that deep, just like your personality.

[–] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 15 hours ago

Why are you saying it's not that deep to me when you wrote a paragraph in response to a meme you fucking loser
