Gee I wonder if there will be any ICE presence near voting/polling locations in swing states? I just wonder.
This is the most likely 2026 election rigging method. Mass arrests at polling places and then watch the nonwhite turnout plummet
And it's so easy to sell to the MAGA base, too. "The Democrat Marxists want to let billions and billions of illegals vote, so we just HAVE to put officers in front of polling stations and arrest a bunch of brown people to sAvE oUr DeMoCrAcY!"
I'm light-skinned, but my wife and kids are brown. I don't want them living in a country where I can vote without fear, but they can't.
Don't worry, in the following election you won't be able to vote without fear either!

Not just swing states. Texas and Florida elections are going to be extremely unpleasant this coming cycle.
Not even just Mexicans, but Mexican-looking people (aka Latino).
But it's not just license to hunt Latino looking people either. The stay was not on that population specifically. The stay was on arresting people on the suspicion based off of any of these henious criminal factors:
No visible minority is safe from this.
No one* is safe from this. They'll twist this and other rulings to make it so they can easily discard the rights of anyone against the MAGAt regime.
Not just latino. Anyone with slightly darker skin, including indigenous people.
Anyone brown, feminist, LGBTQIA ANYONE they don’t like. They’re also calling for war and violence against anyone who is left Of the crazy maga cult
This was a little too prescient.

I’ve been thinking about that movie a lot lately. It does seem possible that it turns out to be prophetic
The real problem in this Sept. 8 decision is that the Supreme Court justices are now saying the quiet part aloud: Brown skin is a problem to be policed. And that leaves us with a dangerous question—can a country built on such contradictions hold together when its highest court openly sanctions racism against millions of its own people?
I don't think it can or maybe it is that I don't want to think about a preservation of so much suffering in an unnatural state of cruelty because it is too cynical.
This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of "our proper place".
They couldn't have put Trump in power without the help of the American electorate.
American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.
Don't get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won't do ~~anything~~ much to address the root issues, I'm afraid.
Edit: changed a word
A lot of us wanted and still want that country to exist
We might end up having to fight to create the American Dream: Liberty, Prosperity, and happiness for all.
...I don't look forward to serving as a soldier in a civil war, but it is better than living out the rest of my life within an American Nightmare.
Absolutely! And that's why I won't give up hope.
America is a slaver state and shouldn't hold together. This is out permission slip to remake society from the ground up
The decisions of the Supreme Court really have less and less to do with the constitution—now apparently only in the sense that they contradict it in a grotesque manner.
Is it because the "judge for live" system is corruptible?
What I don’t understand is how 46 % of Latino voters voted for trump
I don't know Latino Trump voters, but I know immigrant AfD voters here in Germany and I assume their reasoning is similar:
And so on. The point is, every single non-native or non-native-looking voter of fascist parties thinks they are the exception.
They're stupid. Source: I have stupid extended family in the US voting for him
Can confirm. I'm from Mexico and also have stupid family in the US voting republican, specially idolizing the orange idiot
A big part of it is selection bias. 46% of Latino voters != 46% of Latino residents, by a long shot.
The Latinos that have the right to vote tend to be wealthier, more educated and professionalized, and more inclined towards the "Law & Order" and "Anti-Communist" political rhetoric of the Republican Party than their undocumented or unregistered peers. Add to that, during the 1980s and 90s, you had a lot of post-USSR collapse Latin American refugees fleeing countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua that no longer had Soviet support. Those that could legally move to the US typically worked for big American businesses (oil companies, most notably) with their own Reagan/Bush era conservative socio-economic attitudes. Pile in that a lot of these migrant communities have a vested interest in the Republican Party as a tool of patronage - Cubans in Florida have accrued all sorts of special legal privileges precisely because the GOP sees them as a staunch, loyal voting block. And then right-wing press in these communities fuels the anti-communist (and anti-LGBTQ, anti-Black/East Asia, anti-Liberal) politics.
So you're really whittling down the pool of Latinos who get to become legal citizens, the Latinos who get to register to vote, the Latinos who are invited to join the upper class and eventually participate in local/state/national politics, the Latinos who get to participate in national network journalism, and the Latinos who are rich enough to serve as patrons for the next political class.
Eventually, everyone looks like some combination of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Jeff Bezos.
People are idiots... in every shape, color, and size.
There were Jews who supported Hitler....at first
Cubans.
Homophobia/transphobia.
Pulling up the ladder.
And of course his polling with Latinos has plummeted.
They're no more immune to the propaganda, it seems.
Most people never see a single thing any politician ever says that isn't a sound byte on their favorite news source. I bet if you asked a large group of people if they have ever watched an political speech in its entirety that 98% would say no.
My inability to tan is no longer a laughing joke.
I'm privileged to be a wasp, but more specifically, I literally cannot tan. I'm not albino. I'm just pale. now have a privilege that not even everyone in my family has.
My dad is a wasp, but tans really easy. In Missouri and Indiana, he's been profiled already like this. Over a decade ago too. Black hair, tan skin. That's it. That's all that does it.
There's a very disturbing plan here. It makes the Nazi racial policies seem tame.

Yet again: The ICE is slowly become the SS
Slowly?! it has not even been a year!
yeah… that's actually correct
Feels like 10.
This was always the goal of the Trump Administration. Trump always dreamed of becoming a Hitler like figure since day one of his administration in 2016.
It is already.
Wtf California, Oregon and Washington time to step up!
Any doubts that Trump is "America's Hitler" should now be put to bed.
This is the contradiction at the heart of the Roberts Court: no race in college admissions, but race is admissible in immigration stops.
Not a contradiction at all when you know the motive. If something hurts non-white people, it's what they choose.
License to hunt brown and black people.
