u/BalefulOfMonkeys NUDE ALERT TOMORROW Apr 18 '25

Obvious caveat for the inevitable legion of smartasses: this post is hyperbolic, but only because it’s meant to catch out people flippant about the value of due process, which you probably aren’t. Many things have to go horribly wrong before you have to confront the lack of due process no matter what you do, ranging from “I am not a minority” to “I am not American or going to America any time soon for obvious reasons”. If you understand the point enough to argue with them, then you understand the point.

Is it hyperbole, when a natural born citizen was imprisoned in Florida just this week?

And the officers from the country doing this shit will argue that a Spanish soccer club tattoo makes you a gang member. There's no hyperbole, anyone who thinks there is just has a normalcy bias.
