Los Angeles under military attack
Roundybout replied to Joe Ferguson forever's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It’s nothing more than optics. I fully support them rising up against ICE. Someone has to. -
They obviously are on my side, given that the protests and pushback against ICE is intensifying. Every single protest like this is sparked by the violation of human rights by authority, in this case ICE and the MAGA government. Do you know why we on the left own academia? Because the right hates it. The right hates education, arts, sciences, and so forth, because it constantly challenges the status quo. You can’t handle it. That’s why MAGA hates universities so much. Conservative academics are relegated to stupid libertarian think tanks or Prager U. This is what’s so amusing about the people supposedly for “small government” - they’ll happily put the boots on if they agree with it.

What enemies? Yeah and they’re idiots. Latinos for Trump is already putting out statements opposing the deportations. People vote against their own interests all the time. Too bad they have to suffer the consequences of touching the stove. It’s cute you pretend to believe that. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/04/30/latinos-worry-more-than-other-us-adults-about-deportations/

Trump is following the authoritarian playbook very well. He's successfully created an "enemy" in all people of Hispanic or Latin American origin. He's pushed them with his ICE gestapo to fight back. It works because old people and rurals are terrified of change. They fear anything different. Now, he's got a route to start crushing protests with the military. This will lead to more protests, which Trump can then use more troops on. Eventually, he's going to have a route to use the Insurrection Act and really crack down. How funny that the party of "small government" cheers it on! It will be rough. But liberalism will win. It always does.

What ICE is doing is evil yes, but not necessary. Never was. Their solution of violence, kidnappings, and midnight abductions is what a third-world country does. There was no "intentional" flooding of the country. We are (were) the shining city on the hill, a place for the world's poor to get a better life. Instead, your kind zip tied them, tear gassed them, and sent them to Africa. You are forever on the wrong side of history. Hope you figure it out before the end. Bullllllllllllllllshit lmao. The riots in Buffalo in 1967-68 alone beat this.

Your Mount Rushmore for bands from Buffalo
Roundybout replied to XXXtraAnchovies's topic in Off the Wall
Probably not one for Mt. Rushmore, but Mom Said No is a pretty good band. I heard them play a couple of times at Mulligan's (RIP) -
