This is not a meme. This is a quote from Trump’s border czar on why he was ignoring Judge James Boasberg’s orders.

https://www.democracynow.org/2025/3/18/headlines/i_dont_care_what_the_judges_think_trump_administration_rejects_court_orders_on_deportations

The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union. Speaking after Monday’s hearing, ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt called the situation a “constitutional crisis.”

Lee Gelernt: “At this point, it seems like the administration is simply walking into court and telling a federal court they can’t look at the evidence, they can’t stop what they’re doing, and we see constant public statements from administration officials criticizing federal judges, saying they don’t have authority. I think we’re on dangerous ground here in the United States.”

The only way democracy survives these times involves things more drastic than protests

It is a good sign that the protests have been so plentiful and so ongoing. It's been almost 3 months and there's still protests happening at every opportunity because this admin just keeps fucking more and more people over.

All that 2A love but neither the brains to realize what's happening nor the balls to do anything about it.

There's a 3rd scenario where the person is just trying to survive. I don't fault a single mom for wanting a gun to protect her kid. But I also don't expect her to risk the food and shelter of that kid to do something extreme.

That's not what the 2A/NRA goombas claim when they cosplay Navy SEALS.

No but they’re the ones that are cheering on ICE, right up until it deports their brides waiting for green cards.

Among the Dems many mistakes was demonizing gun owners and driving many of them to the fascist party while discouraging their own voters from owning guns.
