Jesus fucking christ please fucking vote please vote against these nazis PLEASE
I understand not wanting to vote for genocide in Palestine. Unfortunately you don't have a vote that will do that. No US government can change the Israeli government's policies or kick out Netanyahu and his ilk. That is not within their power.
There is no candidate you can choose who will change the situation in Gaza. You can only vote against a genocide in your own country, and I urge you to do that while you can.
I looked into this to see what was happening, and. It's worse than just a sentiment.
The man who ran the government’s deportation force under President Trump vowed Wednesday to restore order to the border and to begin ousting some of the millions of illegal immigrants who have arrived under President Biden.
“You’d better start packing now because you’re going home,” Tom Homan, who was acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said on the third night of the Republican National Convention.
As delegates waved “Mass deportations now” signs, Mr. Homan told them they would get their wish if they sent Mr. Trump back into the White House.
Copied from the Washington Times, which appeared fully in support of this.
here's an argument that actually works with your MAGA coworker in favor of mass deportation: plane tickets cost money and your tax dollars are gonna be seized for it. this kind of talk is ALWAYS a scam.
detention facilities cost billions to build and run and guys thrown in there could be there for years filing legal defenses and who's gonna pay for it? trump? some random millionaire senator from georgia?? the politicians who make bank talking tough about deportation are NOT the working joes who get taxed to pay for the trucks, the prisons, the guards, the paperwork, the plane tickets. even when the projects actually go through and no one up top grabs all the money and runs, these camps divert military resources and bankrupt local communities and wreck property values! so sure, fuck illegals and all, fair enough to be concerned about crime.... but you're letting some slimeball who only cares about getting your vote sell you on the bullshit solution of A WHOLE NEW BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
meanwhile like the places immigrants are even a "problem" are like inner cities and they already got a budget for that. when's the last time an illegal around here did anything worse than some rednecks with a meth trailer? shouldn't we keep our defense budget focused on THAT? let Los Angeles manage itself. let New York City buy its own boats! mass deportation is a total scam. let trump fly them out on his own private jet if he cares so much!! c'mon.
see, your maga coworker doesn't care about the dignity of all men and you can't make him... but he absolutely understands the concept that slimeball politicians talk fast and leave their constituents to pay their bills. reach out and let your neighbors know when a campaign pitch is just one more bullshit grift.
