Credit to OP for the post, but I can't stand it anymore. Don't look away now, this is who we've become. I've always tried to be an advocate for others over myself. Sorry if it's a repost.

I am shocked this isn’t asked more, not only why are they masked but why are they so heavily armed. Obviously I know why the gov’t is doing it but why are we allowing it. Those thugs have no practical reason to be armed.
That's who you always were, at least, for anyone outside looking in. That's why you still let people perish from treatable diseases and gun violence when the civilized world has mostly left those problems behind.
I'm guessing that most Republicans would get an erection and gleefully explain this to their children, unaware how scared they were at seeing ICE
Are we the Nazis now?
Well, you're either the Nazis or the resistance (like actual resistance). And if you're the resistance it would be really fucking stupid to say so.
So yes.
Your actions, your individual actions, should answer that question. If you're an American right now who has time to watch or read the news and is pretending that nothing's happening, or that you don't need to do anything to stop the bad shit because it will somehow just work itself out, then you're a Nazi enabler.
How much you need to act all depends on your personal situation. I don't think any of us can tell you what's best for your life. But if you have the capability to do something small, and still you just can't be bothered, then it's fairly clear what your values are.
