This is real

Yeah send me the meme bro, i dont see the muricans getting their guns yet, they have to be starving

Not just government -- the official White House account. It's... dystopian...

I don't know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It's not really a job. It's a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts

If I pulled shit like this at my job I'd be thrown out.

Well they're supposed to work for us, so what's the next step?

I didn't notice who posted it on X until I read your comment and I just.....I'm shocked I am shocked by this because I feel like I've been getting numb to the stupidity of the last ~4 months

The jury's already come back in: it's not boding. It's already been bade.

99.9% of them, yes

This is what they want. See, Trump is utterly destroying America's economy and nucleus of global hegemony. The people are in for increasingly tough circumstances as China just stops trading with America, and all previous allies start to shun the country. Trump is trying to grow the US military to start his fascist wars of conquest both south and north. This will also put the people in increasingly dire circumstances, both with the massive amount of death involved in such a conflict and in the mass reallocation of resources towards war efforts. He can't talk about those things openly to the people because he'd have to admit their lives are going to get significantly worse. So, what can he do instead?

He can do the same thing he's been doing the entire time. Build a fervore for ethnic cleansing and eugencist racialist politics. The people are trained to lap it up without even thinking, and they get genuinely itchy for their next fix. Who's the minority we're hating today? Who's the person of color we're going to commit vile acts of cruelty on today? Where do I direct my homicidal rage at the threat to my inherent superiority today? This is how they are. Every single day, Fox News, Twitter, and the White House all come together to deliver. They fill the bowl, and the bigots heads are down gorging themselves on it while their own lives are horrifically torn apart around them.

It doesn't matter what else he's doing. He's fighting DEI. He's putting black people and women in their place. He's making immigrants, muslims, jews, and the queers afraid again. His support base is unyielding. We know they will never yield because fascists never do. Even decades after the end of World War 2, many former SS and former Nazi supporters STILL thought Hitler was sent from God and that everything he did was right. Even as Soviet bombs were falling on their heads. The ardent supporters of fascism will support it literally until they die. They loved that Hitler was committing genocide. They loved that he was cruel and inhuman. They admired how the image he portrayed so neatly fit with their patriarchal worldview. Its why they supported him to begin with. Economy this, nationalism that, but down to the line it was all about cruelty.

Are the people who support these kinds of tweets petty and childish? Absolutely they are. This isn't even about pettiness though. This is what they voted for. They voted for people of color to suffer. They voted for immigrants to suffer. If it came out tomorrow that he died in that hellhole they'd all cheer.

Remember when you have been 16 and you fell for every single rage bait there is on the internet, wasting your next 2-3 years on defending gaming and your virginity from SJWs and radical feminism?

Imagine you never grew out of that. That’s your modern day republican.

Childish and petty? Or "winning"?

I feel like a corner piece of the puzzle of MAGA is feeling like some how sending a brown Maryland father to El Salvador makes them feel better about their shitty lives. It's a superiority thing.

And some how Trump and Fox News have convinced them that they share in the victories of guys like Mush and Trump enriching themselves.

My mom said something completely asinine (and factually false) once.

"I'm way too successful to be a Democrat."

🌏👩‍🚀🔫👩‍🚀

The boomers are dying off.

They’ve decided to go after the edge lord young men for their next voter base.

Unfortunately it appears to be working.

In the terminally internet-bound, this has led to some consternation.

Nowadays, yes.

You're not alone. I see this shit and I say aloud "woww" and pass my phone to my partner. I've never seen such unhinged shit from the official white house communications team.

This is stuff any self-respecting 15yo would be embarrassed to post. I know they have been posting other cringey memes recently too. Seems like the person managing the account came straight from 4chan.

You should see the other stuff they post now: https://xcancel.com/WhiteHouse/

cruelty is the point. guns.

Classless.

These psychos truly believe that the truth is anything they say it is.

This is the White House response, see if you can spot the fallacy: https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1913358867708493982#m

Truth doesn't matter to them, only power.

Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.

Screaming it over and over has never failed hi. So far.

Would be shame if someone used it as evidence in a contempt hearing or impeachment trial.

I just hope they alienate enough people fast enough that we can see an actual effective check to this rogue administration. They're taking a lot of power pretty fast but also burning a lot of bridges.

Because they know something the rest of us don't - that they will never have to pander for votes ever again, because there will never be another election on the country.

I wouldn’t say there is no secret agenda. It’s clear the administration is not in the loop of what the secret agenda is. Their blatant anti-everything-non-white and overall incompetence and ignorance is enough right now to keep the divide and conquer going.

I'm remembering his full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.

Garcia and his family have slam-dunk civil cases against Trump in both his personal and professional capacities.

Implying that elections will have any meaning or impact next year

Nothing will "hurt" them unless there are consequences for their actions.

You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.

I think it's simpler than that. Bringing him back would show they did something wrong, and that's obviously impossible, because he's the second coming of Prosperity Gospel Jesus.

It's even worse than that: he's testing the boundaries.

He's testing if he can get away with deporting an innocent man. He's testing if he can ignore the Supreme Court without consequences. He's testing if the Salvadorian president will stand firm and be his good little concentration camp boy.

If they are successful, it means they can imprison ANYONE they want to.

If they are successful, our Bill of Rights is about to come crashing down.

He has a legal status similar to refugee, but not technically the same because he didn’t apply for asylum within a year of entering.

So yeah, not an illegal alien. Legal resident.

His official status wasn't asylum per se, but his status was he could be deported ANYWHERE BUT EL SALVADOR if the courts deemed fit. Which he was not deported through the courts, and they sent him to El fucking Salvador, the one place it would be illegal to send him to.

This whole situation has me so pissed off, this country sucks.

They only say he was wrongly deported (kidnapped) under oath.

They know he can't live forever, right?

Asking this in public makes you look like a fool.

Republicans and the Conservative Propaganda Machine has controlled the narrative in this country, political and otherwise, and your post is a perfect demonstration of it.

If Dems ever want to regain power, they need to learn how to counter the MAGA lies, and promote their own message loudly and clearly, and stop letting the Conservative Propaganda Machine define EVERYTHING.

Abducted or kidnapped?

Part of how you know that no one they send there is going to actually be a gang member or terrorist or anything like that. Those guys wouldn't be going without a fight. And with no due process and no chance of ever getting out, it's not like they have anything to lose.

Yeah I see that pic pop up a lot but I have yet to see the news about a huge shout-out between ice and immigrants

They want people to be scared and not fight back. We have strength in numbers and they know it.

The scary stuff hasn't started yet.

is america graet again yet?

"So is the US the greatest country in the world?"

"The US isn't the greatest country in the Americas."

Yeah it’s just full on dystopia

Seems to also be very brazen contempt of the supreme court.

it undermines their already blatant lie about "facilitating" his return.

inb4 the prison guards give him a gang tattoo to make Trump happy

ACAB

I don't know about that. The Trump team has been very sucessful this time around.

It's just that what they consider a sucess is really, really bad for the world.

How rich and well-connected are you?

Yes. If you're an oligarch in an oligarchy.

Are you a billionaire?

If you were powerful enough, sure. The court is only as strong as its ability to enforce a punishment.

The president is exempt from criminal prosecution for things they did as part of their duties, and if no-one is willing to impeach or impose other punishments, they can be as contemptuous as they like. How would the court stop then?

You could certainly try

I can’t recall any scenario where Trump and his cronies aren’t cringey and childish, so it’s business as usual really.

Whitehouse comms is basically just being run by 4chan trolls at this point. Probably where they recruited from.

I went to check it out. It's 100% real.

You don't look illegal bro. It's not illegal to be you.

https://www.britannica.com/question/What-major-events-took-place-during-the-Reign-of-Terror

Laws were passed that defined those who should be arrested as counterrevolutionaries, and committees of surveillance were set up to identify suspects and issue arrest warrants. Later laws suspended the rights of suspects to both legal assistance and public trials and mandated execution of all those who were found guilty.

Please do not romanticise such a horrendous period. If you hate McCarthyism, then you should absolutely despise this one.

Being labeled as the enemy during a revolution often means prison / torture / death, even if you're innocent !
