Respondents also expressed alarm over administration efforts to deport protesters and critics of U.S.-Israel relationship
Only 6 in 10??
I’m surprised that you’re surprised about how messed up Americans are.
I know right!? Still a mandate though
Or 4 in 10 Americans are beyond reaching.
No American should be okay with others not having due process, citizen or not. Yet here we are
I would support deporting those 4/10 for not supporting very basic and easy to understand rights.
These are the people the Democrats were trying to court in 2024.
They could have too, just not by trying out Republican the Republicans. People like this respond to leaders who show conviction, and that definitely isn’t the Democrats.
Most charitably, at least some of that percent are the types who don’t think about it (or are largely incapable of doing so). The types who max out on the kohlberg scale of “the law is the law and so if the law is arresting these people then it must be just because it’s the law.”
I think people like that can potentially still support decent things, but they basically have no chance when the current media environment is filled with so much propaganda.
“the law is the law and so if the law is arresting these people then it must be just because it’s the law.”
What does law have to do with it?
Basically two things: the misinformation telling them that it’s legal (hell, we don’t even expect cops to understand the law in the US, what chance does some the average idiot have?), and the fact that literal law enforcement agents are carrying out these arrests.
All these judges issuing injunctions against the admin’s illegal actions might not be able to take down the melted cheeto directly, but we really need them to go after the people at the agencies going against their orders. The plane that was ordered to turn around? Why wasn’t everyone on that thing arrested as soon as they returned, pilot included?
Can we get police to arrest ice? I think it’s time to find out. Start giving them a reason to think before “just following orders”.
He’s referencing moral frameworks, hence the kohlberg scale comment. Some folks take the law as gospel: i.e., if something is against the law and you are arrested for it, then the only problem is you, the person arrested. According to that mind state, all of the folks who are in america illegally are therefore deserving of whatever the law (sort of says and) does to them.
No courts -> No law
Mobs with badges aren’t the police.
Four in ten Americans deserve to be sent to blackhole prisons of their own. Let them try to appeal when they get there.
You believe that people with bad opinions should be sent to “black hole prisons”. You are the same part of the problem but with just different political views.
This isn’t simply a difference of opinion this is a fundamental difference of morals. As is most of the Leftist vs Republican discussion at this point.
Punishing nazis is not the same as being a nazis, idiot
Sending someone to prison for something they choose is different than sending someone to prison for their skin color.
It’s even more different when that something they choose is hate/fascism. We’re past the point of this being oopsie doopsie I didn’t know I was supporting Nazis. Fuck those people. We’ve tolerated enough.
No this is about the Tolerance Paradoxon. A tolerant society has to be intolerant about intolerance or it won’t remain tolerant.
having “bad opinions” is liking bud light, not believing people should be sold into fucking slavery for being born in a different country
slavers and their enablers should all be killed
Yes, war is a thing people do.
I agree! Prison would be a waste of resources, and they seem beyond reeducation.
I would simply throw them into a pit.
thats a shockingly low number.
Now you know why America has a fascist dictatorship!
We gotta get rid of those other 4 Americans.
By sending them to El Salvador?
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety
Liberty for all or liberty for none
Yes
Almost 50% of Americans. In a sane country that would probably be closer to 90% against. Ya’ll are fucked.
I really shouldn’t have to like this. We should ALL just not want to be locked up with no evidence. God I hate this timeline.
Russian propaganda sure destroyed America, lol.
They should not be sending anyone to El Salvador
4 in 10 americans thinks the evil ass Andor prison is “based”.
Imagine being so much of a nazi that even Americans are put off by it.
Trump also took office with fewer than the majority of people wanting him too, it doesn’t actually mean anything if you’re just gonna ‘not want it’
ONLY SIX?
in a democracy that would matter
So, deport=send to foreign prison?
