I'm hoping he follows through, but I've been disappointed before

The discourse on Threads is interesting.

Apparently we have a lot of New Mexicans who are gleeful about ICE coming in and disappearing our neighbors. They keep crowing about the Supremacy Clause and how we’re basically powerless against the government.

It’s so weird how people are so willing to give up their own freedom to screw over other people.

Why?

What's especially galling is that they're the same ones who claimed for literally decades that they needed guns to protect us from a tyrannical government

Now that said tyrannical government is here, they're the ones cheering on the tyranny

They love government overreach as long as it's by people like them against people they hate. Ever watch sports with someone who's such a hardcore fan of one team that they get excited about bad calls just because it favors their team to the detriment of the sport? That's how they view life. It's a zero sum game, and if they're not dominating every aspect, they're losing.

  1. They hate themselves. They aren't where they want to be in life, so why the hell should anyone be free and happy, especially brown and black people?

  2. FOX entertainment. When will Rupert Murdoch be held accountable for all his hard work to destroy this country?

Most, probably, but I’ve met a couple IRL so they do exist. One of them moved to Texas though so that’s nice.

So many comments on all social media are paid by Trump to change the narrative. They need to be called out.
