    And that’s what he said when he was president last time.

    This time?

    Using the military to put undocumented migrants in concentration camps. Not even trying to hide that fact.

        You are correct. If you’re a citizen and a cop decides you’re one of “them,” good luck convincing them your ID is genuine. If you’re carrying it on you.

          Okay, but if we say bad things about the police then we’ll lose the election.

          We need to politely ask our Brave Boys In Blue to be more Woke, when they’re firing into a crowded subway station at a fare evader. And if that doesn’t work, we need to stop being so Woke ourselves. Maybe doming a bystander and clipping another cop in the process of securing a $2.90 train fare is just the price of our freedom.

          “Papers, please.”

          I’ve told my visibly brown partner that he has to have his passport on him at all times because that’s where we are, now. I’m hoping it will be enough.

              Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.

              I just don’t understand people. My partner’s brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I’m hoping we don’t have to rely on him for anything but I’m also weirdly grateful that he’s my partner’s brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.

                Yes, that’s me. Got my first job interview tomorrow. At 3:30 am. Apparently the Earth isn’t as flat as certain people on the internet would have you believe.

                And yeah, there were a surprising number of brown people who voted for Trump, especially men. I don’t get it. He hasn’t been even a little secretive about what his plans are. They really don’t get that they could get caught up in this insane net of Trump’s.

                  The only thing I can figure out is they’re extremely low-information voters whose thought process was something like “prices high, Biden’s fault, Trump not Democrat, vote for him.”

      America is a fascist country already. The fascist plurality turned out in droves to support a guy who was saying what they believed.

      Liberals watched this groundswell of fascist support begin to crest and turned to Dick fucking Cheney to bail them out. And then when they lost, 76M to 73M, in a contest of New Fascism versus Fascism Classic, their response was to… blame Muslims, Latinos, and Trans People.

      Conservatives, meanwhile, decided to use their big electoral win to checks notes normalize pedophilia.

      Fucking hell, this country sucks.

      He had less than 50% of votes. Saying “most voters wanted him” is demonstrably incorrect.

        https://www.bbc.com/news/election/2024/us/results

        Donald Trump

        76,856,362 votes (49.9%)

        Kamala Harris

        74,320,684 votes (48.3%)

        Most voters wanted him.

        This is not an endorsement of trump, rather, a condemnation of the US voting public.

        if you want to have an argument about the definition of pluralaity and majority or whatever, I suggest

    Fourth panel should be a duplicate of the first panel, except saying “Trump will establish a fascist dictatorship, and that’s what I wanted!”

      Yeah. I don’t care how many posts I see saying trump voters are regretting their vote. I feel like that is a level of media bias to make those who voted against him feel a bit better. I’d be shocked if even 5% regretted their vote. Maybe in 18 months, just before midterms, things will be different. I think it is more likely that the real problems won’t start until after the midterms though.

      Edit: some words

        Same shit happened with Brexit. A blizzard of news stories about how Brits were too stupid to know what they were voting for and everyone regretted their decisions. Then Brexit loving conservatives won the next election in a landslide.

        By 2026, there will have been US military deployed in the states for a long time, and everyone will have been sufficiently terrorized by arrests and detentions. Then it’ll be “another stolen election, we have to postpone the midterms, because even the US military can’t stop the steal.”

    The most unbelievable part of this is the magat having a crisis after learning (somehow, always for the first time) about Trump’s Hitler-worship. Since it hasn’t directly affected the magat yet, no way he’s going to have the self awareness to freak out.
