Or 4 in 10 Americans are beyond reaching.
- No American should be okay with others not having due process, citizen or not. Yet here we are
- Most charitably, at least some of that percent are the types who don't think about it (or are largely incapable of doing so). The types who max out on the kohlberg scale of "the law is the law and so if the law is arresting these people then it must be just because it's the law."
  I think people like that can potentially still support decent things, but they basically have no chance when the current media environment is filled with so much propaganda.
  
  "the law is the law and so if the law is arresting these people then it must be just because it's the law."
  What does law have to do with it?
- These are the people the Democrats were trying to court in 2024.
  
  They could have too, just not by trying out Republican the Republicans. People like this respond to leaders who show conviction, and that definitely isn't the Democrats.

Four in ten Americans deserve to be sent to blackhole prisons of their own. Let them try to appeal when they get there.
- You believe that people with bad opinions should be sent to "black hole prisons". You are the same part of the problem but with just different political views.
  
  Punishing nazis is not the same as being a nazis, idiot
  
  No this is about the Tolerance Paradoxon. A tolerant society has to be intolerant about intolerance or it won't remain tolerant.
  
  Yes, war is a thing people do.

thats a shockingly low number.
- Now you know why America has a fascist dictatorship!

We gotta get rid of those other 4 Americans.
- By sending them to El Salvador?
  
  Yes

I really shouldn’t have to like this. We should ALL just not want to be locked up with no evidence. God I hate this timeline.

Only 6 in 10??
- I'm surprised that you're surprised about how messed up Americans are.
- I know right!? Still a mandate though

Almost 50% of Americans. In a sane country that would probably be closer to 90% against. Ya'll are fucked.

They should not be sending anyone to El Salvador

Trump also took office with fewer than the majority of people wanting him too, it doesn't actually mean anything if you're just gonna 'not want it'

Russian propaganda sure destroyed America, lol.

So, deport=send to foreign prison?
