    The really fun part is that because we don’t have the actual “law enforcement” resources to do this we’re about 10 seconds from them calling up every single reactionary militia to put on masks and detain people at makeshift checkpoints in every county.

      already doing it. Those masked ICE psychos that refuse to identify themselves? They’re not actual Law Enforcement, they were hired en masse to help ICE in the field. That’s why you see groups of like 5 randos showing up to harass immigrants in their homes and places of work and school, they don’t look like your typical thumb phenotypes. They are women, POC, skinny, long hair/beards, etc. Definitely out of place for ICE agents who are all carbon copy roided out thumbs

      calling up every single reactionary militia to put on masks

      I’m actually sort of surprised Trump didn’t already sign an executive order saying he has the power to “deputize” an unlimited number of militia members to stop “foreign enemies from infesting the United States of America”.

        they are waiting for grok or whatever LLM they are using to finish running the entire U.S. population and cross reference with all the NSA datasets. get a list of loyalists and a kill list. then contact the loyalists to deputize as federal marshals and give them a download link for an app that gives directives.

        like i wish this was BS (it kind of is) but it would vaguely follow the Yarvinist plan with a Trumpian flair so i wouldn’t be suprised if they rolled it out like this.

        I mean he’s like 95% of the way there; he already did an order deputizing a bunch of law enforcement adjacent folks. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/01/23/trump-deputizes-federal-agents-arrest-immigrants/77914576007/

        That was the martial law one he did on day one. That called for the assessment on Hitler’s bday. I’m not sure why he didn’t just do it.

    In Papers, Please, the player takes on the role of a border-crossing immigration officer in the fictional dystopian country of America, which has been and continues to be at political hostilities with its neighboring countries. The player must review travelers’ passports and other supporting paperwork against an ever-growing list of rules using a number of tools and guides. Tasks include allowing in those with the proper paperwork while rejecting those without all proper documents, detaining those with falsified information, and balancing personal finances.

    So, if you’re not white or passing, are you guys planning on staying there? I don’t think America will be a livable place in a long, long time after it goes full V for Vendetta, it’s possibly wise to start looking at exit strategies.

    ✅ Oligarchs.

    ✅ Gulags.

    ✅ Secret police.

    Is America great again yet?

    Edit: y’all, I’m not defending any previous administration. I’m criticizing the current one.

      I assure you that Amerikkka has almost always been like this, the only thing that has changed is since the civil rights act the ruling class has been throwing a multi-decade long temper tantrum over that act but in the meantime, had to pretend like it was sorry for the past.

        Remember that the only reason that act got passed is that they shot MLK and got worried that black people, as a whole, might literally revolt.

      Did you know ICE has jurisdiction within 200 miles of any border? And that all international airports are international borders? Obama ran more deportations than trump, he was just quieter about the jackboot thugs stealing people in the night

          acknowledging that trump isn’t the Bad Man who suddenly made America bad seems to be qualitatively far different from saying don’t do anything about it
