    When Texas sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

    Like Tiananmen square, the regime stopped using local troops in an attempt to flex their authority and instead brought in outside military with no attachment to the area so they would have less trouble being ordered to fire on civilians.

    These gravy seals from the South are gonna be the tattered flag and trump sticker on a truck types that sit around the desk at the guard base wishing they could punch a liberal.

      One minor quibble. To date, I am not aware of any US cities where residents are actually rioting. To date, no one in ICE has actually been injured by protesters. Certainly nobody has died. No property has been destroyed. Nobody is really fighting back.

      Let me know when someone in Portland actually sets an APC on fire.

      The closest thing to Tiananmen in America in physicality was J6. Then maybe the Chaz Protests in Portland in June of 2020 or BLM in Ferguson and Baltimore. Nothing like that is happening now. Even the anti-genocide college protests at Columbia and UCLA don’t really come close to what Chinese protesters managed in Beijing.

      Americans are largely passive in the face of their own oppression.

      How I would love to just look at them and say “actually you’re the liberal” and watch them lose their minds.

    A chunky guy with a gun is dangerous because he’ll use it to solve the problem with minimal physical expenditure
