      shipping people to a concentration camp in el salvador without any due process sounds like a violation of many laws to me.

        You know what’s freaking terrifying?

        I use Nextdoor on occasion (a social media app specifically for localized neighborhoods), because it helps with safety or lost pets or something occasionally…

        …but lately there’s been some tesla vandalism going on, and there’s SO MANY comments like “Give them 20 years” and “Send them straight to El Salvador.” and “Domestic terrorism!”

        I used to resent isolation and lack of community…but now I really don’t wanna meet my neighbors anymore…

        I want to believe a quieter majority of us aren’t cool with shirking due process and shipping U.S citizens to foreign prison camps, if that wasn’t bad enough, for property damage of all justifications…but geeze.

          After the results of the last election, I cannot delude myself any longer. We’re surrounded by fascist, imbecilic weirdos I’m afraid. The only thing we can do at this point is become louder and hope to pull defectors into our ranks.

          There also is some amount of hope that can be obtained by the fact that this is a very large, very disorganized country that contains all kinds of people. That’ll make ruling over all of us with an iron fist practically impossible to pull off. Unless, of course, we allow it.

          I’m not ok with shipping anyone to foreign prison camps. There’s zero reason why we should ever do that, with exception of a valid extradition request from another country.
