    Not today, or next week, but its very much in the realm of what could happen when Democrats hold power again. Why? Because its become clear that ICE, Border Patrol, and much of the DHS see their goal as being to kill Democrats rather than serve the country.

      Are you serious right now? The Democrats are fully onboard. They supported the creation of DHS. The supported the expansion of border patrol. The supported the expansion of ice. They supported the expansion of local police. They supported the transfer of military surplus to the police.

      The Democrats are not going to save you. They’re not Marvel heroes. They’re not even basic protestors. They haven’t done shit on decades.

      Unless the democrats become something radically different than they are, even if they GET power again I doubt they will abolish ICE and theres almost zero percent chance they would abolish the DHS. Idk what democratic party you’re seeing but this ain’t it.

        It doesnt have to be fair; just not so unfair that Democrats can’t win a whole lot more seats. That’s very possible still.

        Remember here: states run elections, not the federal government. So you get different gerrymandering and different voter suppression measures in each state

        The democrats are not going to hold power again.

        The Controlled Opposition will be allowed to have a small majority in one of the Congressional branches, so they can be made complicit with the current regime.

        2019 was the roadmap.
