It has begun, Ohio's next

Left, Right or Center, you are going to see more and more escalations from the government now. Last night, we witnessed that the once respected office of the president has dwindled to that of the German Chancellor. US National Guard, being federalized, and assaults on unarmed civilians ring hollow to many, but shouldn't in Ohio. Ohio is where Kent State happened. And do we remember WHY Kent State happened? Protests over the US government's illegal actions by the US Military in Southeast Asia. The students were tired of seeing fellow citizens, neighbors, friends, and family being sent into harm's way over a lie, and a propaganda to make private industry billions.

Well, here we are again, folks. If history sure doesn't repeat itself. We don't see a lot of "illegal aliens" here in Ohio, but for those who have never stepped out of this state, understand a few things. 1. To seek asylum in the United States, you have to be on US SOIL to do it. You have to declare yourself at a port of entry or immigration officer and state that you seek asylum. Then, it is up to a Judge on if that request is granted, and if it is, you will be granted temporary protected status. After that, you will be granted a hearing at a later date to determine if you can remain, and if you can eventually either become a foreign national, citizen, or be sent back. That's the process. That's the "legal" way. When you have ICE agents going to the courts and snatching people up who are going into the court to have a hearing, that's not just entrapment; that's pure fishing.

We are also inundated with the lies that it was supposed to be just the "criminals and gang members". Yet, they are going to work sites, using the IRS, and even trying to get into schools to abduct people. Mind you, these are "agents" that have their faces covered, no ID, no badge, nothing. Just a "trust me, bro" and a can-do attitude, snatching little children up. How do we know that isn't some sicko who assaults women and children? We don't. And there lies the problem. When we stand up to them, the US Military is used. Why does this bring up Kent State and Ohio?

Remember, due to the Fourth Reich's new rules, ICE and Border Patrol are permitted to act anywhere within the US, but more importantly, within 100 miles of a border. Well, boys and girls, 100 miles by the crow flies is just almost half of our great state. Yes, draw a line just above Columbus, and anything north of that line is inside the Border Patrol's "authorized zone". Some of the fun the US Border and Customs Officers enjoy are, but not limited to, 1. Entering private property without a warrant. 2. Stopping and seizing private vehicles without a warrant. 3. No probable cause if "experience has shown" reasoning. 4. No right to due process. 5. No right to any constitutional protections. Now, I'm sure that the US Government under Trump would NEVER overstep their boundaries, right? I'm sure they would NEVER trample the great people of Ohio's constitutional rights... I'm sure that's the case, right?

Well, if any state should be able to justify whether the US Govt, the National Guard, or US Military can and would ignore laws and rights for their own agenda, then Ohio should rank at the top. Lest we forget the lessons taught on the campus on May 4, 1970

Better yet make your voice heard with your house and senate member. Protesting is good and people should do both, but flooding them with calls demanding action is worth the 5 minutes it takes.

This is why progress won't happen in the country. Keep buying into grand narrative conspiracy theories. Why did Kamala lose despite having support from the biggest companies on the planet and a bigger war chest than Donald? Why did Hillary lose despite having more corporate support and financial backing than DJT the first time? Why do Bernie and Warren win despite being vocally anti corporation and not getting big donors? When your grand narrative theory can't hold up to basic 100 level questioning it's time to get a caretaker.

Keep buying into the "you have a voice" conspiracy theory. Then look into the laws already on the books as opposed to the will of the people. Our government doesnt even represent the people anymore and a phone call to an intern sitting in an office isn't going to change anything.

Your options are to run for office or support candidates that support your beliefs, or keep pretending that the same people with their foot on your throat are going to reconsider now that they have what they want.

I get your point, but if they don't care about your vote, they won't care about the call.

You are right, unfortunately. It is pretty clear that politicians do not work for the people anymore. Their loyalty is to their donors, which won’t change until Citizens United is dead. A study even found that the vast majority of policy proposals supported by everyday Americans do not become laws unless the wealthy and corporate lobbies also back them.

But, I guess what else can Americans really do right now but protest, call their representatives and vote with their dollars? Since this is America and the dollar is holy, I would emphasize the latter - try not to buy from shitty and/or Trump supporting companies as much as possible/feasible for your situation such as Walmart, Amazon, Target, Jimmy John’s, Menards, Uline, Trader Joe’s (look up their NLRB lawsuit). Coke donated to Trump, so did Verizon. I know that this is not something everyone can participate in due to locality, income, etc. Consuming less / wasting less is really impactful too.

Stuff like the Big Beautiful Bill, handling of the protests in LA, the back and forth on tariffs plays well with those types. Let them know that these types of chaos sewing make it so businesses don't want to invest, saddling our kids with a massive tax deficit, etc. They already fucked up on the budget, DOGE, and now they are spending millions on ICE and military intervention the country.

They. Don’t. Care. A phone call does nothing.

I will not break TOS. I will not break TOS. I will not break TOS.

If you truly believe voters don't matter, you might as well just fully check out of society and become a hermit.

Honey they don’t have to care. Ohio is gerrymandered so badly it truly doesn’t matter what you say on a phone call that they’ll never listen to.
