  Part of how you know that no one they send there is going to actually be a gang member or terrorist or anything like that. Those guys wouldn’t be going without a fight. And with no due process and no chance of ever getting out, it’s not like they have anything to lose.

    Fascists are cowards and will only fight when they are certain of victory.

    That’s why “it’s ok to punch a Nazi” was an effective deterrent.

      Only fighting when you’re certain of victory is actually the smart way of doing combat. Nothing to do with fascists or cowards.

      I think what you mean is that they will only pick on the weak and indefensible. That’s what’s going on. This isn’t even a fight, they are snapping them off the street without warning. And it isn’t a victory either, as they are fast tracking mass outrage.

      We’re being played, as is always the case with Trump. He’s dictating the things we get outraged by, day by day. He wants the outrage, because he needs the pretext for Martial Law. That’s the fight he wants, and the victory they seek: total consolidation of power, so he can crown himself king.

      Hitler too, only had a vocal minority before he rose to power.

  Yeah I see that pip up a lot but I have yet to see the news about a huge shout-out between ice and immigrants

    Because ICE is targeting people who aren’t likely to be armed. As the net broadens and they start targeting more explicitly based on political affiliation, gender, etc. rather than just race, they’ll start running into people who will shoot back

      Exactly: did you know that MS-13 is the world’s only pacifist street gang? It’s true!

      (It’s not true. The fact that your comment is correct is another way you can tell the claim that the kidnappees are gang members is a lie.)

    Hey DuckDuckGo, what percentage of Venezuelan and El Salvadoran immigrants are hardcore gun owners in the US? Oh.
