      Personally I can’t picture an ICE agent that is anticipating a regime change within their lifetime, but I could be wrong.

      There is a very specific reason that ICE agents and other collaborators strive to hide their identities.

      They would not feel the need to do so if they believed, deep down where it counts, that they were on the right side of history, and that the regime will last indefinitely.

        I don’t think they’re that introspective. Pretty sure they all think “this is so anteefuh can’t find out who I am and kidnap muh kids”. Action hero delusions

          Most will be too stupid, and will be the ones using I Was Just Following Orders as their defense.

      Neither did the S.S.

      A paralel that I’m sure they both openly embrace, and which is also completely lost on them.

      It won’t be falling via a peaceful transfer of power. Voters made sure of that. However it happens, it will be violent.

        You know I’ve had this feeling for a long time. But I really have it now.

        Look at everything going on, everything he’s doing. If AOC (arbitrary example, but he’ll call any Democrat a “radical marxist” through the entire campaign no matter who it is) is elected in 2028, will he and his handlers go “well, at least it will take them a long time to unfuck things?” No, there’s no way that happens.

        Maybe we’ll get an honest election and maybe we’ll learn the results of it. I don’t think he leaves in Jan 2029 without a fight no matter who wins, unless it’s Vance, and maybe not even then.

        And to be clear, there’s no way the Dems will run AOC or anyone like her. We’ll probably get someone even further right than Kamala or Biden since it seems to be Republican votes they actually want now.

        I only have hope for 2028 actually resulting in Trump no longer being president if the cheeseburgers take him before then, or the 2026 midterms are not only a blue wave, but also entirely above board and free of shenanigans.

          FYI, the progressives won the last DNC election. The old guard no longer calls the shots, which is why they are getting more & more desperate to try to appear that they are still calling the shots.

    If you guys think we’re getting a truth and reconciliation hearing after this administration, then you have too much faith in the dead institutions which led to Trump’s election. The United States is over, after this. 100 years from now it will be obvious in hindsight

      Oh, it’s never going back the way it was.

      This is clearly fascism, those are clearly concentration camps, and that’s the Gestapo running around.

      You don’t just walk that back.

      If you want to go down the path of defeatism without putting up a fight, then yeah. Go fulfil your prophecy.

        lol putting up a fight? who is doing that? Muricans jumped from “too lazy to vote via mail” to “we need to get guns” to “when somebdy fixes this…” as if they think that would happen in their lifetime

    Presents lists, gets arrested anyways.

    How do you think this will play out? They’re either going to get caught with it, or it’s useless when the regime collapses as they’ll likely be mostly dead anyways. It’s useless as long as the regime remains, and keeping it is a time bomb waiting to go off, and not just for you, you’re a risking your family and friends too.

      This message has been brought to you but Team Learned Helplessness.

      When the regime falls, maybe do everyone a solid and stay the fuck out of the way.

        No you just seem to have rose coloured glasses.

        How many people do you expect to be left to charge? They are suddenly going to realize they are the bad guys and lay their weapons down? Is this your assumption?

        Also, you think they are just going to ignore the person complacency? Oh it’s great you killed a bunch of people and want to finger your neighbours, why didn’t you stop them during it?

        This isn’t going to turn out positive for anyone trying to collect this information, unless you’re high up. The peons are just gonna get fucked in every situation.

    i wouldnt call it smart, they are hiring formally felony/convicted people that are mostly unhirable anywhere else. its mostly gravy seals/ and formerly charged people. they would most likely be charged for aiding and abetting kidnapping, if even charges are brought up.
