    Using scare tactics like this isn’t effective and it will just further the desire for a police state. Instead of saying “these other bad guys can hurt us”, call out the evil these masked men are doing.

    What ifs, especially ones meant to scare people into action will ultimately reinforce the police state.

      This is the stupidest thing I’ve read today – and I just came from Reddit.

      Not talking about something isn’t going to prevent it from happening.

      They’re already building a police state and it’s happening in front of your eyes. Pretending not to notice is exactly what they want.

      But the other bad guys have hurt us. Fuck ice, at best i think everyone of those pigs should be facing Nuremberg like trials. But let’s ignore one group of terrorists just because they are Islamic.

    If this happens it will be blamed on the left/antifa allowing it to happen or helping in some way.

    Sadly, I believe nothing will happen until a bunch of masked thugs in unmarked vehicles kidnaps, say, very Mexican illegal sounding Rafael Cruz and trafficks him to, say, Burkina Faso, because country of origin or nationality doesn’t even matter anymore…

    And even then the message would probably not get through, and would be waved off with “but that’s different!” :(

    There were rumors that the British SAS would use female burqas as disguises when operating in the Middle East.

    Now every terrorist, criminal, rapist, pedophile, just needs a made at home ICE outfit to do the same in America.

    Terrorism? … someone can just rob a bank and get away with it

    The local news would post a picture asking people if they saw someone dressed up like ICE

      There’s very little point in robbing a bank unless you desperately need office chairs and stationery.

      Yes, but that doesn’t concern MAGA. We’ve made that point after multiple robberies and rapes. They don’t seem to care. This, however, should hit home.

    100% MAGA can probably see eye to eye with the left on this expect the left isn’t really making much effort to do that. This post is great. There’s so much great content and examples of the abuse here. But the left’s job right now is to amplify it. But it’s not really happening.

          As opposed to what? A single post on Reddit? Xitter? Blusky? Facebook?

          How do you know that the OP, and everyone else on this thread didn’t reshare to those places?

          What exactly qualifies as amplification to you? How high of a bar do we need to pass to be good enough for you, your Highness.

            Until my grandmother knows. Go outside and see what people are saying. Almost all are right wing views spread by engagement online. There’s a guy on a bridge I pass everyday who still puts banners on it for NWO and COVID. If something is stupid but it works while something smart isn’t working then we should figure out way. Calling everyone dumb isn’t working out for leftist like that thought it would.

              Your grandma knowing is an outcome. After a long campaign of amplification, that outcome is entirely possible.

              I’m just saying… You’re shitting on the post for not being amplifying enough to inform your grandma; which is a ridiculous expectation to have.

              Amplification is still amplification. Whether it lives up to your impossible standards or not.

    Good narrative to enact Marshall Law and end fair elections… it’s like this has been a game plan the whole time. We’ve already seen this brown people are bad bullshit once with Republicans so they could start that 20+ year war in Iraq.

    If “ice agents” shot up a peaceful demonstration, them it could trigger a civil war. They’d still have their maga apologists however.

    Sigh… then dress up as an ICE agent then.

    Clearly you’ll get in to the Pentagon and Fort Knox if you just try.

    lol. I hate to break it to you Americans, but foreign terrorists are sitting back and laughing their asses off as you guys destroy your country without having to blow themselves up.

    And MAGA would say, “see, no Middle Eastern terror attacks thanks to Trump”! 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡

      The left is fully aware that the only real foreign attacks on the US are social media destabilization campaigns. We need the right on our side to unmask ICE, and this could be our angle.

        The right is basically chuds, facebook boomers, self proclaimed entrepreneurs and “economic experts”. They have no interest in understanding even the most basic of social relations that they themselves exist within let alone helping the evil left take down their own idealogical para military force. We are kinda veering into re education camp and gulag territory now, at least for many of the most propagandized people. These people are rabid thanks to the media pumped 247 into their homes, cars, phones. They want someone to pay for their suffering as long is its not anyone they know. Until their white neighbors start getting plucked by ICE…i dunno americans and people in general just avoid ontological shock at all costs and the intelligence operatives, and corporate consumerism really fucked american consciousness over the last few decades.

        That being said, i do agree with your assessment on foreign bots. Most of the real ridiculous and divisive political content i come across is simply bots. And lots of inane one liners from rando nothing accounts.

        It seems some of my more maga neighbors have piped down recently tho. I still think their loyalists, sunk cost fallacy, and they def still have fox news on 247…i guess they just really like election season 😭 they have moved on to “god will protect us” yap, possibly guilty conscience but they have a massive distrust of “the left”…although they seem to like me personally which just highlights the tragedy really.

      The foreign “terrorists” are sitting on gamer chairs in front of computers shitposting and sowing discord on social media, that way they make people angry about cultural issues and not class issues.

        I think you misspelled “politicians” and “domestic terrorists”.

        Foreign terrorists don’t have to do anything, not even on social media.
