    This comment of the lady taking the picture really reminds me of the early Nazi era regime where people were hunting for undocumented Jews. This makes me incredibly sad to see history is repeating itself yet again.

      There are still WWII veterans alive that fought the Nazis in Germany just to watch it repeat itself in their own fucking country.

        Think any of those vets are the same people trying to get these folks deported?

          To have been active at any point in the war, someone would have to be 99. (2026-1945+ 18yrs to be draft age at the end of the war)

          Even if there are maga ww2 vets, I doubt many of them are active enough for this.

            Well damn, guess that’s why the Nazis are back in full-force: the generation that defeated them last time is nearly gone. Now 1/3 this country is welcoming Nazis with open arms.

              Sure but even if we drop the age all the way to 13, theyre still 93 years old, and that would be people who only saw combat at the very end.

          They’re all 90+. Do you think someone that old is doing anything besides watching soap operas?

            I’m inclined to agree. I lost my grandfathers years ago, but I’ve gone through this thought exercise a lot since this all kicked off:

            Assuming they don’t already know: would I shelter a 90+ year old veteran from home-grown horrors that they’ll never live to see resolved, or let them shuffle off this mortal coil blissfully ignorant?

            Honestly, this is a situation where the truth simply won’t do any good. I’d probably just not tell them and keep those soaps and old movies on repeat.

      I’ve actually started keeping screenshots of people I know who are supportive of ICE, in part so I have my own little database of people who I know can’t be trusted, and so that I can hopefully publish them later when these same people try to pretend they didn’t support this.

      I can’t even begin to imagine the violence I would be inspired to visit on someone who pulled that on me or someone I know. Like if smug bitch thinks she just “Got me”, and I now have nothing to lose, and she’s not the armed Gestapo, and that’s a brick lying on the ground

      During Gestapo and Stasi times most informants did their best to remain anonymous because no one likes snitches. Openly following someone and bragging about it is sociopathic even by nazi and Stalinist standards.

      Stasi did not execute people in broad daylight. Comparing the Stasi (intelligence services of Socialist Germany) to the Gestapo (agency instrumental to millions of exterminations in genocide) is insulting.

        Nobody cares if Stasi are whingy about imperfect allusions. 🖕🏽 Both groups deserve lead sentences, full stop.

      You mean KKK, Confederacy, White Supremacist, Slaver, Jan 6th Protester etc… The threat isn’t foreign to America, and its been here in America since before Nazis existed.

      We have messaging apps that are secure and can timed autodelete by text “for everyone”.

      And yet people keep on using Facebook Messenger.
