I say we take their citizenship instead. Just imagine if these hatful people were left out. They might for the first time in their life experience real hardship.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Dont worry people. While the nazis did this exact same thing, its different because they spoke German.
Can someone tell me how republicans and conservatives are not terrorists?
Like, legitimately, how do they not cause massive amounts of harm and instill terror in large groups of people?
They're not because they defined terrorists as anything but them.
We do NOT have to accept their propaganda. The Dems have always allowed the right to define EVERYTHING for decades. WE have to do our own branding, of both our side and theirs, and then drown them out.

Had to turn phone sideways to figure it out, but Cool!
That edge is looking pretty jagged lol
Sorry, had QA layoffs.
Stop calling the Republicans. That was the larval stage before they morphed into their final form, MAGA. The term Republican should only be used in a scholarly, historical context.
We need to rebrand the entire conservative movement under MAGA, so at the end, we can abolish MAGA as the genuine active National Security Threat that it is, and sweep up the entire Republican party with it. Conservatives will have to entirely regroup, and rebuild a party from the ground up, under new political/campaign regulations.
They literally had a sign up at CPAC saying they were domestic terrorists and here we are.
Many are, and they all support them.
There was a time when I wanted peace among all Americans. I now no longer consider members of the Dogey to be American, and want to fight a bloody war against them. They are enemies, who wish to murder the innocent and to enslave.
There cannot be peace in our time, because the Dogey are fundamentally evil. Until the cancers of fascism, elitism, and conservatism is removed, all the good people in America will suffer.
Hopefully, I and many others will live to see a better America. Or Americas, as the case may become.
If it's either/or, I'll take justice over peace every time.
There wont be peace though
We are past the point of doing this peacefully. We all need to wake up and arm up. I really hope I am wrong but we will see come November. Gerrymandering a district to the point of one side or the other really comes at a cost. In reality it make a lot of weak district that can be over turned if everybody gets their lazy asses out to vote. If we do not vote like it is the end of America in the midterms there is going to be violence. I can't see anyway out of it.
What is this "is going to be" shit? Do you live under a rock?
Are the MAGA idiots still saying they're only going after people who are in the country illegally?
The official DHS twitter account tweeted not too long ago that they want to deport 100 million people. There aren't that many immigrants in the US in total, naturalized or otherwise. The inescapable conclusion is that they intend to strip citizenship even from natural-born citizens who they decide are their political enemies.
Can't imagine losing 1/3 of your population would have any larger ramifications elsewhere.
they intend to strip citizenship even from natural-born citizens who they decide are their political enemies.
Yeah Trump is trying to redefine to whom birthright citizenship should apply. He is actually the only sitting president to attend the SCOTUS oral arguments, and he did that over the birthright citizenship executive order. So it wouldn't be a surprise if they're including the people they don't think should have been considered natural born in that number.

This is who and what the Republicans and conservatives have always been, at root.
Never believe them when they - or those adjacent to them - start piping up with some horseshit about "true" conservatives.
Also, "take advantage of America" - fuck this asshole. The person doing that most egregiously, and practically rubbing all of our noses in it is the pedo-in-chief and his family. They are self-dealing right out in the open and all of these fuckers should be in prison for not only the prior crimes, but the crimes they have committed just since January of 2025.
no they should be dead
In the same way that the solution to the Tolerance Paradox is to not tolerate intolerance, such threats to strip citizenship away from naturalised individuals should result in the would-be perpetrator’s citizenships being denaturalised instead. There should be no room for such hatred in modern society.
Conspiring to deprive others of their rights, or actually taking steps to do so, should be a very dangerous thing to do.
I'll be honest, I've had thought experiments of where we go from here once this is all over. I cannot think of anything that doesn't result in either prolonged right wing terrorism or their projections being practiced on them. I'm not calling for harm, but man, they've backed themselves and everyone else into an uneasy corner.
The last year and a half has finally made me understand why "re-education camps" have been tried.
I mean, what else can you do? How are we supposed to live side by side with people who literally want our friends and loved ones dead?
It wouldn't take long if you removed fox news. Studies have shown just supplanting fox news with corporate media leads to rapid de-radicalization. They of course go back to that addictive fox news when the study is over, but it just shows that it can be done easier than we might believe.
I think people forget that these peoples viewpoints are being constantly reinforced everyday, multiple times a day.
As a trans person with jewish and indigenous ancestry, fuck them all. The entire empire must fall.
I am on team 'fulfill projections on them'. I don't want to start a fight, but I will finish it on terms that don't suck for me and other decent people.
If blood has to be spilled, it should be conservative.
That’s the true “million dollar question”; what happens to the US if/when this wannabe-Fascist dictatorship falls apart (as all Fascist dictatorships eventually do).
I honestly don’t have high hopes that the US will retain its position as the sole global hegemonic power. We will inevitably transition back to a multi-polar world, bringing with it all of the uncertainty that it poses.
Either the US holds these perpetrators accountable and spends decades rebuilding trust in Government at all levels (unlikely), descends into Russian-style cronyism (most likely), or Balkanises (wildcard).
Could they start with Elon Musk, Melania Trump and Peter Theil?
How about Vance and his wife?
Trump is only half American too
You can take my citizenship, it means nothing to me anymore. But you'll have to take my Costco membership from my cold, dead hands.

I'm unironically at the point where I would absolutely vote for the person who promises to exile every Trumper in this country. So...
Say this lightly, because if you look at how someone like Saddam rose to power...it's starting to look less far-fetched for the orange kid-diddler to pull.
I honestly believe that a lot of higher officials should be hanged for treason. Starting with Trump and working our way down until justice is fully served.
