      You arrest the head of the DoJ. And any agents trying to protect him by the sheriff of whatever town they are in.

      Haven’t you heard? Presidents are immune to the law. The Supreme Court said so. And since the DOJ is run by Trump sycophants any arrest order for someone in the administration will be ignored. Just like getting this guy from El Salvador will be.

      The Supreme Court had a chance to rein in a possible second Trump term when they took the presidential immunity case and they fucked themselves for a couple dollars instead. Now we all reap the horrors they have sowed.

      No need. Trump has immunity, but nobody else does. Lock them up in increasing numbers until they start obeying the law.

      You do not understand the GOP base (ie southerners).

      It doesn’t matter if their family is taken, tortured and killed.

      The only thing that matters is that brown people know, beyond any doubt, that they are beneath the lowest inbred redneck.

        Trump’s base is not “southerners.” Trump won a whole bunch of midwestern and mountain states too, and even in the south Harris only lost by single-digit percentages.

        Trying to scapegoat the south while ignoring the fascists in your own state is both bigoted and unhelpful. Do better.

          He won them.

          He didn’t get a ludicrous landslide of violent … who only voted for him out of the desperate hope of getting their Jim crow back, like they’ve been begging for for decades and actually switched parties for the only time since the founding for.

          I know my states, I’m not white and lived in the Midwest, the south, and other places.

          They are not the same, they fought a war for slavery and never forgot it for 1 second.

          The tragedy is their filth is spreading.

          I lived in beautiful Midwestern town. Then nafta came, all the southerners who lost their textile jobs swarmed north, bringing their crime and their drugs. My town was utterly destroyed by them.

          But please, go tell jews ‘hey, you shouldn’t be so hard on literal nazis, be better!’

          And before you say another word, Hitler literally wrote in mein kampf how the south was the model Germany needed to follow, even though at their worst they weren’t even close to as evil, while black GIs came home from liberating Europe, to be lynched for being uppity.

          Our mistake was not giving every slave holder to their slaves, then walking away. We have been paying for that mistake for 160 years. We need a new and brutal reconstruction to finish the job.

              You sound like a shitty southern apologist, your next line is ‘oh well the north is just as racist as the south!!!?’

              The south are evil, literally more evil than the nazis, that’s a historically documented Fact.

              Good luck disproving that.

              I lived in Indiana, Wisconsin (both great people) and Tennessee.

              The south needs to suffer for the Union to be redeemed, good luck denying your region’s fundamental evil.

              Edit: read about the foundations of the SBC, and the curse of Ham and enjoy understanding how everything you ever believed was a lie 😂

                you haven’t the faintest clue what i believe, but i see you habitually encouraging americans to fight each other instead of fight for change.

                  We need to fight the south! They have betrayed us every step of the way in the name of their must for racism and cruelty.

                  This is like saying ‘we shouldn’t fight the nazis, we should try to work with them for change’, and by like I mean literally is the same.

                  Do you remember the last time we dealt with the south properly? We got the progressive era.

                  They will stab us in the back, and betray us to the oligarchs, because what they want is cheap and petty, the best political capital there is.
