      I am honestly ready for all the torture Trump will give us. Let people remember what a Trump presidency was like. We are completely at his mercy, and I hope that the GOP gets the karma they deserve for supporting the not-so-figurative anti-Christ.

      First time I’ve ever been ashamed to be American

          We don’t know their age or experience. Unfortunately, there’s going to be plenty of opportunities to catch up.

            It also makes sense from the perspective that this time, the fascist might even win the popular vote. I always had that to fall back on at least.

        I’m sure not. I’ve voted against the Republicans every fucking time, but I’m still a prime target for their future concentration camps.

        It’s so reassuring to see people ready to just throw their arms up and watch innocent people have their rights stripped and their lives brutally ended.

        What, all the other absolutely absurd U.S. atrocities, at home and abroad, didn’t do it for you? Man I’m ashamed just to be your neighbour and for having our own dipshit Conservative politicians that like to cosplay as Republicans.

    Pulling the ladder up behind you like this is impressive.

    I personally know a trump voter with a Latina wife (born in the US). But the fact that deporting 20 million people would mean mass arrests, chucking people in camps and figuring it out later was poo poohed away. "He would never do that… " Well that’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pans out.

    If only we had some sort of American example of how this would work in practice… Using the same law that is being floated…

    Can’t wait until they open the anonymous line to report people. You bet I am reporting everyone I know that voted for him!

    I’m kidding, of course, but it has crossed my mind…

        I work in data. I have this handy dandy datasheet from a recent election. It has everyone on it. It would be trivial to scrape out the republican voters and submit 60 million names they weren’t looking for to the list, but it’s two elections old and I don’t like playing those games. Also, they’d probably see 60 million names submitted at once and think “fuck that trash all those” if they had a halfway decent data security dude there.

        So I guess I better get started on scrubbing the data.

          Honestly, this is pretty much what LLMs and user generators were built for. A couple of the shit post subs (anything with horny on main) already have tooling set up.

          For the crowd, the goal is to clog the system in a way that is really hard to filter. You want bad data and also lots of differing types of bad data. Spam shrek, bee movie transcripts, AI generated rants, report a guy called “Lehuge” 80 times with conflicting info, etc. You know the drill.

    Like all other Trump voters who are affected by his policy, they’ll find a way to blame it on the Democrats.

    Fascists are incapable of self-reflection.

    Let’s all be honest, this time around you’re getting deported with your grandpa. It probably doesn’t matter if you’re a legal citizen or not.

    Oh well, you get what you voted for, literally since Trump and Republicans ran on mass deportation. If it happens to hit those who knowingly or unknowingly have “illegal” immigrant relatives, oh well, that’s literally what you voted for. Then again, I highly doubt MAGA will stop at that so have fun.

    Thank God my folks became citizens.
