Comment on ICE officers with electric-shock glovesparent

It's not a matter of "cute" and thinking that Nuremberg-style accountability will definitively happen, but rather that if we are going to fight for our liberty then we must draw clear lines in the sand about things like morality and values. This isn't merely some political disagreement over how to implement policy that effects shared values, but rather a political party being wholly taken over by malevolent anti-American interests and convincing its constituents to shred their own morality. The need for moral lines in the sand applies across the whole spectrum - all the way from the edgelords still simping for the cucked Republican party because line goes up or trolling makes them feel powerful or whatever, to the would-be opposition party who needs to know that a message of "you have to vote for us because we're less bad" is woefully insufficient.

Unless you have a practical nuts-and-bolts solution for dealing with the money and connections of orgs such as the Heritage Foundation and the various Tech Oligarchs pushing fascism (e.g. Palintir) your 'resistance' will mean fuck-all, sorry.

The ballot box doesn't matter and the bullet box is irrelevant in the face of ICE and the militarizing of the police force.

There's no getting off this train, whether you surrender or fight changes nothing.

Unless you have a practical nuts-and-bolts solution...

If it goes that far, I imagine more a guns-and-bullets solution pushing on one side with a larger, more peaceful resistance pushing from the other.

Only if you view it as an all-out war, which it would never be. Threat being enough works both ways.
