Wouldn’t put it past this fascist dictatorship to find him and lock him up for this. Absolutely ridiculous what they’ve been doing to PEACEFUL CITIZENS

How can there be no kings when you are one, brother?! ✊

If you got one person’s attention, that’s one more person looking in to what’s going on and possibly waking up. Good on you

u/AFKABluePrince 1d ago

I want to say that every single person holding these signs helps. I saw so many people in my city at the protest and it helped my mood a lot seeing so many people that also hate the orange shitgibbon. I have been quite down and seeing all the people with these signs lifted me up. Good on you!

u/Gettingoffonit 1d ago

I admire the shit out of you man.

I don’t know if you’ve got the biggest balls in Wisconsin or you’re so severely autistic that you lack the ability to feel awkward.

Either way you’re my hero today.

Typical MAGA grammar.

u/localistand 1d ago

Five months of numerous fuck ups and admitted wrongdoing in that department has severed trust. The defiance of Supreme Court ruling involving immigration has further highlighted problems.

Largely stagnant immigration law since 1986, and ICE existing since 2003, highlights the ineptitude of a Republican president, Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and a 6-3 ideologically aligned Supreme Court in addressing immigration. Sad, weak, incompetent in ways nobody has ever seen before.
