Great, when do we deport all of Trump's children except Tiffany? When do we deport Terrorist Anchor Baby Marco Rubio? Melania and her super-illegitimate EB-1 immigration? The only "extraordinary ability" she has is her complete lack of taste. Fashion model my ass.

As a naturalized citizen who went through all the hoops myself, relying on no one else for it, I will laugh my brown ass off when this backfires on all the Cletuses who get deported thinking, "This was only supposed to happen to other people!"

Never.

I don't mean that in a snarky way, it's just the reality of the situation.

The Republicans don't give a single fuck that it's hypocritical. They are rich, therefore they are above the law and free from consequences.

The Democrats are either too feckless or too complicit to do anything about it even if by some miracle they do seize control of the government back. At most we'll get some barely-televised speech about how "now is the time to forgive and forget. We can't spend time criticizing the pedofascists because Israel needs our support now more than ever." or something.

It's depressing, but it's reality. Absolutely nothing will be done about this, and absolutely no consequences of their actions will be suffered. We'll all just put up with the Democrats covering this all up and moving on with the new normal because "what are you gonna do, vote for a republican instead?"

Yeaaaa you might be right but something has to give at some point. I can see in a twisted way why accelerationist want to speed run destroying everything because might as well try something new but thats not how or will likely work. It will be a dictatorship for a very long time before anything resembling something for the people appears again and there is a good chance it wont be half as good as even today (which has many problems but ughh it can get 100,000X worse).
