“Come on this is hyperbolic. They’ll only kidnap you off the street, send you cross country to some horrible dank cell then deport if you disagree with trump and musk.”

Or think you do or your neighbor says you do. Or if you’re brown. Or a woman. Or… you know what? Let’s fight back. Now.

This was already happening 5 years ago during BLM protests, at least in Portland and Seattle. Plainclothes feds were grabbing people off the street and chucking them into unmarked vans. The general public is unfathomably clueless about how far along we are on this path. The complete takeover of the entire federal government by neofascists already happened, and people are finally like “huh, maybe we should protest?” That time was 10 years ago. We are so fucked.

That’s a lie. BLM protestors were arrested at a protest, booked, given access to a lawyer, fed, saw a judge or in most cases were released within a few hours. That’s so different than what’s going on now idk why I even wasted the time to type this dumb comment.

I'm glad you did. "The time has passed to do anything and we're doomed" is a pointless, harmful mindset that should be called out whenever it can be before it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy
