Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Don't worry, the ones that voted for him were one of the good ones.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 16 points 20 hours ago

Remember when his supporters thought we were irrational for thinking he'd go after people who are in the country legally? Next step, he'll take citizenship away from naturalized citizens, then children of immigrants, then Puerto Ricans and anyone who isn't white

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Hopefully some federal judge will stop this nonsense.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago

Wow that's alot of terrorists. \s

Seriously tho words have no meaning to fascists.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I lived in Florida for a while. Nearly all of the Cubans there were racist redhats and loved Trump. They fucked around and now they get to find out.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 7 hours ago

Man this hits hard. They really are pulling up the ladder behind them.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 104 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But Cubans love to vote republican to stop the communists.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 7 hours ago

This is a real argument. They saw bad things happen under communism. This is a different flock, but the same bird.

I feel bad for the community.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

True, but these people weren't permanent residents so they didn't vote for this shit.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

They definitely aren't permanent residents now, that is for sure.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

No, but I expect many will be family

Russians citizens living in the USA are now called "citizens++".

Except for Navalny supporters, they get Gulag+

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

I was just about to say. Russians are perfectly fine. No problem.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

That's double plus good

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

The one group we probably should toss out.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Don't you mean comrade++

[–] dryfter@lemm.ee 45 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Does this asshat realize that the only non-immigrants in this country are the Native Americans? I mean even after 9/11 there weren't mass deportations of people of Middle Eastern descent. Racism and prejudice, yes, but this is ridiculous all because of Fentanyl?

I have a better and more empathetic idea -- meet people where they are and help them find a path that works for them to get out of the addiction spiral. This is just going to lead to an increase in drug prices, which will lead to even more crime.

[–] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Fentanyl is not the reason. It’s just the excuse

Does this asshat realize that the only non-immigrants in this country are the Native Americans?

Watch out. He'll try to deport all the Native Americans to Northeast Siberia. Their ancestors were just very, very early illegal immigrants.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Do you actually think Trump or anybody in his circle has empathy? They have all shown that it's a foreign concept to them.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 day ago

“The fundamental weakness is empathy,” Elon Musk recently told radio podcast host Joe Rogan. “There is a bug, which is the empathy response.”

Why Elon Musk is wrong about empathy

[–] dryfter@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

It goes farther than that, it's a Republican issue and has been for decades. Trump is just saying the quiet parts out loud.

And traumatizing the fuck out of me because I grew up with a narcissistic parent and was subject to her wildly changing decisions, gaslighting, and her always saying the quite part out loud as if they are incapable of thinking without speaking.

Does this asshat realize that the only non-immigrants in this country are the Native Americans?

Yes, they are fully aware that when they talk about "immigrants", they aren't actually talking about immigrants, they are talking about people who aren't white.

The actual goal of the "I don't like these illegals" people is to make the US a white ethno-state.

[–] River_Tahm@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago

They told a Native American to go back where he came from so, no, they do not understand.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

They're not exactly trying to implement a sensible and logical immigration policy though.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 day ago

If you're not pre Clovis, get out!

Wowwwwwwww

So like… Miami’s taking a hit there

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Has he run out of immigrants entering illegally already? He’s so efficient!

[–] dryfter@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Who the hell would want to come to this country with all this shit going on?

They got old information pre-2024 and they haven't received info about the new update.

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

People in countries the US destroyed/destabilized. Like always

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 1 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Why go to US when anywhere else is better ?

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Decades of propaganda advertising it as the greatest country in the world makes people want to move there. Also you can get paid in USD and send money back home

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

Ehh , id preffer Germany over US any day of the week

They got old information pre-2024 and they haven’t received info about the new update.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

The outgroup must grow to feed the machine

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump, a Republican, took steps to...

Oh thank you Guardian for clearing that up. Absolutely no one knew that 🙄

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You vastly underestimate the ignorance of the American people.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I thought The Guardian was an English publication?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It is but it’s commonly read in the US. But maybe this applies to the English too. I have less direct experience there.

But I guess it is a bit more reasonable to remind foreign readers of Trump’s party affiliation since presumably the English spend at least a little less time thinking about US politics than we do.

That's an army sized number of people who will be sent home to go through hell.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

Oh well, it's what the Latin community wanted and Cuban Americans are saying that they have no regrets so let them have it.
