If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

one thing "normies" are realizing via ICEwatch chats is that there is a ton of diff law enforcement & they are ALWAYS fucking outside. constant "is this ICE?" nope those are the housing cops, DEA, national guard for the subway. oh those are just the undercovers that hang by the school. etc. etc.

begging for the cognitive dissonance to break, literally pleading
i don't understand why so many people are so adamant that what ICE is doing is not the same as law enforcement. i disagree and i think a lot of the arguments ring very hollow, but more to the point: what's behind the desperate need to protect police legitimacy right now?

the idea that DHS can fix this through More Posting is very revealing
