Lol what? Idk what “news” story you’re referencing, but it’s entirely irrelevant here. Wildly pivoting to an entirely different topic like this is irrefutable proof that you’re wrong, have realized you’re wrong, and refuse to confront and admit that you’re wrong. This thread is also old now, so nobody is even following this anymore anyway. As such, any further engagement would be a total waste of my time, so I’m out.

Good luck figuring shit out. I don’t need to convince you; the future will do that for me.

Username checks out.

Lol okay, keep not understanding. You aren’t putting together that rescinding rights guaranteed to people means that all you need to do is claim that somebody is in that group that doesn’t get rights and they no longer have rights to things like a trial. I could literally just call you an illegal immigrant and you’d never get the opportunity to prove otherwise because you wouldn’t have the right to anymore.

As for the “ILLEGAL immigrants” thing, there’s a difference between civil offenses and criminal offenses. If you don’t even know that, then idk where you get off thinking you get to lecture anybody about how laws work. I’m sorry to say that you’re just flat out fucking wrong about this. Quit parroting what partisan media is spoon-feeding to you and look shit up for yourself. They benefit by convincing you to accept the bullshit that they’re selling. Be more skeptical. Any time you see something on media, ask yourself who is benefiting from the message they’re sending out.

Step 1: proclaim that immigrants no longer have rights.

Step 2: accuse person(s) you don’t like of being an immigrant.

Step 3: because immigrants don’t have rights, due process is not given.

Step 4: accuse person(s) of literally anything you feel like and order whatever sentence you decide is appropriate since an accusation is now also a conviction.

Are you getting it yet? Or will it have to target you specifically before you give a shit?

Dude was stunned that his adult son knew how to turn his computer back on after he turned it off. He’s too clueless to even know to be impressed by what half of lemmy users can do with tech lol.

If simple vandalism is punished so harshly, may as well go all in and torch the fucking things. There’s really no reason to stop at keying or painting anymore. Cosmetic damage is being punished as though they’re being rendered completely useless.

And edgelord baby billionaire should be happy since people will have to buy new cars, and surely his cars are gonna be their first choice, right?

People claim to support the Constitution and then say dumb shit like this. Try reading it. It’s not very long. It very clearly spells out that everybody in the country has rights, and that one of this rights is the right to peacefully protest. You’re even exercising that same right by arguing that they shouldn’t have these rights. But they do. And the second you try to take that away from them, what’s to stop a dictator on the other side from deciding that you don’t deserve the right to disagree with your government anymore, and so cops will be authorized to break into your home and kidnap you and deport you to a country you’ve never been to.

Any argument you have about how that isn’t the same thing is just going to cement how xenophobic and racist you are, so instead of bothering to reply, just sit with your thoughts and figure out what you can do differently moving forward to develop some amount of empathy and critical thinking skills to not advocate for things to get shitty for everybody in the long term. It’s possible to grow and improve, and I’m rooting for you.

What’s crazier is that you think that legal residents don’t deserve a first amendment right despite doing so much more to have earned rights than any person who just happened to have been born here did. Fuck outta here with that shitty-ass take. All rights for all Americans, full stop.

Unless 76% of Republicans makes up 18% of Americans, they got some ‘splainin’ to do.

“Presidents should obey court orders. But not my president, and not those court orders!”

Guys, what the fuck did you think was being discussed?

Dude, you’re gonna get disappeared for typing r@!nb0w5 out where children could conceivably read it, assuming they are allowed to learn how to read in the first place still.
