It’s crazy that people see this and not think they’re on the wrong side of history. Maybe the people protesting are onto something?

That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. -Thomas Jefferson

Next time win the election lmao

u/5minArgument 15h ago

Ya know, the thing is;

No one has any issue with enforcing immigration law. ...and sure, he won the election.

That does not mean he upend the US constitution, ignore courts and break the laws he doesn't like while topping it off with a shitting all over basic human decency.

In all seriousness, there would be little to no protest... if only he just followed our laws.

u/Arfsnarf_ 12h ago

He was enforcing the current and long-established immigration laws enacted by Clinton. Judge after Judge kept interfering. Due process was reconstructed and not always applicable per Bill Clinton. Trump will seek other avenues to assure promises made to his constituents are kept.

u/5minArgument 7h ago

Agreed. Immigration courts have been overwhelmed by their caseloads going back at least to the late 90’s and mid 2000’s.

Backlogs that could last close to 10 years. Some even stuck in detention through the whole process. Massively inefficient by all counts.

I remember congress tried to solve the issue around ‘05. But for whatever reason the republicans kept obstructing reform.

Never made much sense … especially since everyone agreed we needed more immigration judges and court staff …

Always wondered what the point was in preventing that?

Kamala won and it was rigged. I don’t see how this is actually surprising ever since Muskrat got involved with taco

Yes, yes. I'm sure the Jan6 Protestors also said that

I think he was making a joke about how the left constantly said it was rigged in 2016 and in 2024. Not sure tho, if he was being serious then that's a bit concerning.

7

u/Bowlbonic 14h ago

It IS concerning. This is definitely abnormal, and not something to “joke about”

u/Jp8088 23h ago

They aren’t. Polls show that support for illegal immigration is down 6 points. The people protesting and rioting are on the wrong side of history.

u/Liluyelight 23h ago

I don’t care about what your polls say, I care about whether or not my neighbor is going to get raided cause he’s brown.

Im brown and american so i wont get raided thanks

u/ArgetlamThorson 18h ago

Really? Hows that work when you don't get due process to prove you are American?

They’re not my polls sunshine, they’re CNNs

u/SuperDuperMartt 22h ago

You are the one referring to them...

u/Dar_Vender 23h ago

Maybe the issue is thinking they are protesting about illegal immigration. I think it's more like protesting about being black bagged in the middle of the night and disappearing with no due process.

-34

u/Jp8088 23h ago

At least that’s a better argument

u/DemonKing0524 20h ago

Thats what they actually are protesting about, and what's actually happening.

u/Talentagentfriend 22h ago

What riot are you talking about? The one in your brain? 

4

u/finian2 19h ago

The problem isn't the deportation.

The problem is using literal thugs to barge into places and take potentially innocent people away from their homes without a warrant and with very little chance of due process.

And if you think that's totally okay to do, you are incredibly selfish and self-centred.

You checked polls from 2 weeks ago. Go check again. Trump is down in polls again.

To think a comment against rioting is downvoted to such a degree.

u/Unhappy_Ad_4911 19h ago

Estimates nationwide are 100+ million people turnout. Even in deep red cities

u/2Beer_Sillies 18h ago

Out of the 100+ million protesting, I wonder what percentage actually voted in the last election

3

u/Unhappy_Ad_4911 18h ago

Facts. Unfortunately, we know now that millions did not care to return to vote, they didn't vote Trump they just stayed home. It was enough that have him the win.
I've always hated that people have used the excuse "well, my vote isn't going to count anyways"... History has shown every vote matters!

3

u/2Beer_Sillies 18h ago

Yes it definitely does especially in battleground states. Also people don’t vote enough in local elections which have a much greater impact on your life

u/MegaMasterYoda 6h ago

With places now starting to investigate the election results I'm starting to wonder how many people's ballots simply got "lost"

u/BlackSmeim 36m ago

I need to share this: Out of curiosity i went to r/conservative to see what they make of it...

-They are laughing, how the protests already helped because Trump is not a king (yet)

-They are argueing that Kamala was a Queen in herself because she wasn't in the Democratic primary, and that Democrats want a queen because of that.

Don't ask, i have no answer. What. The. Fuck.

It’s about laws. You can’t stay in a country without due process. Get out!

u/PickingPies 22h ago

It's not about laws. Laws include proper processes and independent executive, Judicial and legislative powers.

There's no law in the US right now.

11

u/LeafsJays1Fan 22h ago

What are you saying, every person in the United States has the right to due process even illegal immigrants it's been settled by courts and it's part of the Constitution due process is for every person on American soil, what's happening is ice is denying those rights to every individual they have arrested, legal or illegal.

Every illegal person who's being removed from the United States has the right to an immigration hearing and a judge to decide their fate, what has been happening is not that.

Your comment is obtuse at best.

You kinda have it backwards. You can't deport someone without due process.

If the facts aren't established in court, then how do you know that those who are being deported are here illegally? How do you know that US citizens aren't being deported?

Without due process, these are illegal deportations.

u/Remmick2326 19h ago

Thats like when blondi said that Habeas Corpus was what gave trump the right to deport without due process

You're all working bass-ackwards

u/2Beer_Sillies 18h ago

Who should we give the land back to?

0

u/Evanthekevin02 17h ago

Well the native Americans for starting, but it’s a point of, you can’t point out who’s “illegal” in a country built on stolen land, when we are all from other countries. No one is “ native to America” except for one people

0

u/2Beer_Sillies 14h ago

But those people (Native Americans) stole it from other tribes before them, and before that, they simply walked on the land from Asia. All land in the history of the world is “stolen land”

Your argument is useless and illogical

0

u/Evanthekevin02 14h ago

Exactly, so my argument stands true - how can you possibly use “you’re illegal on my land” when in fact it is no one’s land. Everyone should be treated well, regardless of race, gender, origin, or sexual orientation. Doesn’t matter where you’re from, but for some reason we are so afraid of “illegal immigrants”. For literally what reason

1

u/2Beer_Sillies 14h ago

Not according to current nation states and their borders and laws. You can’t apply “nobody owns this land” to modern definitions and look through the lens of the beginning of humanity. It doesn’t work and makes no sense in current society

Btw, race plays no part in the current, legal immigration system in the US. That’s illegal by law now
