Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

BREAKING NEWS! This Just In!

"Republicans are shocked at any one at any time being detained indefinitely after intentionally empowering and assembling a large militant force who operates purely extrajudicially without due process. We've got Tom live on the scene to ask one of them about this development, Tom?"

"Tell the camera what you just told me a moment ago, please."

"Well I don't think that's what due process means, they still go to see an immigration court, don't they?"

"No."

"Well, they should."

"Maybe you should vote for somebody who makes that happen."

"Like Donald Trump?"

"Wrong again."

I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.

I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?

Just as bad, a lot of people on both sides are pointing the finger at Democrats.

It won't be obvious ever to these people, because their reality is only what they and their associates see in FOX News. That they don't get concerned by what is happening is because they never hear or see what is happening.
