the bird flu epidemic hasn't ground the US to a halt yet.

You motherfuckers better keep it to yourselves.

Take a look at big chungus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_(political_advisor)

That's the thing - this is only barely not normal. It's definitely more in your face, and a lot tackier, but the US has never been great, at least not for anyone straight, white, male, and relatively well off. Our history started with theft and genocide and continued on in that vein. While there have obviously been improvements over the last few hundred years, large portions of the population have had to be dragged kicking and screaming toward every bit of it. Even most of our best presidents have been responsible for atrocities, and then the pendulum always seems to swing back toward the worst of us for a while.

Now we have a population that has been systematically under- or uneducated and fed a steady diet of propaganda about how incredible this country is without any critical thought, and they blame anyone not just like them for any of their problems instead of ever paying attention to the wealthy ransacking the place. The vast majority of them cannot be reasoned with, because Republicans have spent decades making sure they don't have the skills or desire to look at new evidence and change their minds.

It's hard to come to terms with the fact that at least a third of my fellow Americans don't think I should exist as a queer person, and another third don't give enough of a fuck to bother taking any kind of stand. It's hard to watch every institution we've been assured would provide some kind of checks and balances fail as soon as someone decides they're no longer going to abide by any norms. Any meaningful action is likely to end up in a lot of death and if I thought this was a bizarre one off instead of something way too many people are rooting for, it would be a lot easier to think that sacrifice was worth it. It feels pretty hopeless at this point. My only real motivation is trying to use the little bit of privilege I have to try to help my community, but I know it's not enough.

They never seem to be there. All Americans ever seem to be is talk.

All these dumb excuses for constant inaction to the point where other fucking countries have to clean up their mess. I'm frustrated to the point that I want to see a policy implemented saying that if you didn't vote in the last election (assuming you were eligible to do so), you don't get entrance since you'd be more of a burden as someone who can't perform their civic duty

They see it and they like it.

They are evil. You don't get horns and cool red eyes when you turn evil. Mostly you stay the same!

Fun thing I've noticed, evil people even seem to live longer. They don't stress about it when others suffer, they laugh. And laughter... Is the best medicine.

The fascists don't care. They will happily rub it into your face how much they can do something you cannot. It's a feature of fascism, not a bug.

A Hungarian fascist told me how all gay people will be pedophiles in his eyes no matter what, while he himself groomed his wife from the age of 16.

Wait what?

I am now sure were living in some mickeymouse simulation.

Seriously what kind of soulless creep goes for this shit, not to mention thinks it's fun to post? Oh right, MAGA.

You've missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of "their enemies" is exactly what they want. They know they're the bad guys and revel in it.

It does for you. For the intended audience, it makes them cheer and jeer at the ‘stupid brown woman’ ‘finally getting her comeuppance’ for ‘daring to disrespect the flag by being an illegal’.

They have no sympathy or empathy. They want to see PoC crying in chains as they are led off by white officers. To them, that means the system is working.

If it makes you feel better, that hand has 7 fingers so it's probably AI.

At least a human didn't draw it

When people say the cruelty is the point they really mean it. MAGA fascists consider this satisfying. If it makes people upset that's even better. Imagine these people as highschool bullies. That's really all there is to it.

we're about to find out what would have happened if the Nazis had got the bomb first

Mierdas

Context doesn't make it any better. This is a propaganda image that is glorifying a white man having power over a crying Latina woman who is in distress.

This is genuine 100% nazi shit. Why are people not terrified by this?

If this wasn't posted by the White House account, I'd definitely believe it was posted by someone against the deportations.

It's an innocent looking woman bawling her eyes out while being arrested. Why would they think this would help their anti-immigration cause?

I mean, I actually know why. Because that's what the conservatives want. They know innocent people are being arrested and denied due process. It's not that they don't care - they actively want it.

Go look at /r/conservative on Reddit. These people are cheering Rubio on after he announced that visaholders are being deported due to something they said or protested with no evidence being offered. And I'm not joking or exaggerating.
