    Holy fucking shit do these fucking idiots not realise who the ICE agents are? A lot of them are fascist true believers, they’re literally the dudes that would’ve been in the SS. Do you think “de-escalation training” would’ve stopped the SS doing what they did? Fucking ridiculous. You can’t train these people and think it will stop them from doing their campaign of fascist terror against the population.

        Yep! Instead of having a right-wing party and a left-wing party (or heaven forbid, multiple parties with a diverse range of opinions) the US has a right-wing party and a nazi party, but the nazis endlessly screech about how the right-wing party are all communists and this works on the majority of the public for some reason.

        Essentially the Overton Window has come of the side of the house, gone all the way to the end of the garden and then time traveled back to Germany in 1930.

      Didn’t basically the same thing already happen during Trump’s first term? I think it was with the kids in cages, and the Dems voted to give ICE more money right afterwards.

        If by “de-escalating” they mean “throwing them down an escalator” then perhaps, if it’s long enough.
