Fuck the police
Fuck maga and the racist bigots dominating American policy.
Thank you American voters.
Well I think they really only did two things : A) appeal to far right people with their roots waaaay out in the boondocks mostly northward rather than southwestward using stuff like dog whistles, and B) use doublespeak to simultaneously appeal to, draw in, and superficially radicalize the more centre right types just enough to get their vote over the top, to have a substantial base, and to be able to call it ‘a mandate’. I mean they really went out into the deep country for campaigning.
You forgot the most important step: lie your ass off constantly faster than the truth can catch up to you
The “mandate”, for instance, is horseshit. There is no mandate. Trump won by one of the smallest margins in American history and immediate turned around to cry, “The people love me! They voted for me overwhelmingly! Best most fairest election of all time!”
Dont forget to also thank the DNC for their electoral strategerie. Turns out campaigning to a left leaning voter base by going hard right with Liz cheney onstage and Harris talking lovingly about her Glock wouldnt win it for the dems?
No one could have forseen such a thing not working on the 20th time its been tried. The only way to be sure is to try it a few more times. Lets get on it people --who knows some republicans that the dems can campaign with twice as hard in 2028? Are the AIPAC donations still flowing? How can we get even larger corporate sponsors? Can we get Harris some ammo bandoleers and a .50 cal for next time? The glock didnt work.
Who is even in charge these days at the DNC?!?
As of 2023, there were over 42 million Spanish speakers in America.
I used to live in South Gate, a neighborhood in L.A. We were the only family in the neighborhood that didn’t speak Spanish. Even the local pizza places didn’t understand us well enough to order from. We didn’t complain, we were the white people who chose to move there and we were fine with it. But we’re talking about a neighborhood full of homeowners, not undocumented immigrants. Some of them were in the U.S. for generations.
And then there’s Florida:
First settled by the Spanish in the 16th century, 19% of Floridians now speak Spanish, which is the most widely taught second language. In Miami, 67% of residents spoke Spanish as their first language in 2000.
In addition, there are several other major cities in Florida with a sizable percentage of the population able to speak Spanish, most notably Tampa (18%) and Orlando (16.6%).

The U.S. has no official language. Spanish is one of many spoken in the U.S. A large proportion of the U.S. used to be Mexico. Of course we have a ton of people here who speak Spanish.
But, you know, “they all look and sound alike.”
The U.S. has no official language
I’m sure that bill is just around the corner
Guilty until proven innocent, unfortunately.
Literally. Having to show your fucking birth certificate to prove you are a citizen?
I suppose next they will demand the “long form” birth certificate like they did with Obama. And then they will show it and it won’t matter anyway.
I’m getting a passport card ASAP. I don’t look Mexican or south American, but I have a Latin surname- And on more than one occasion Latinos have referred to me and to my wife (who also has a Latin surname) as “one of us”- which frankly pleased me. So I’m not taking any chances of some ICE pig deciding to make his quota at our expense.

We’ve been getting news reports like this and ones about Native Americans, and they are egregious, but it’s worth noting we’re not getting enough stories about the undocumented people and how badly they’re being treated. They’re people too. What’s being done to them is legal under this administration, but it’s evil.
I don’t know about you but we are getting a lot of stories locally about ICE. They just don’t make the mainstream news.
