Protest at 78 and Buckner this afternoon

lol not a person under 70 lol did they just clear out the old folks home and have them show up with signs.?

[-]

Hilarious that this post is seemingly fine by Dallas reddit but photos of larger protests against Trump's ICE/brownshirts are always flooded with comments saying "there's a right way to immigrate/Trump just wants law and order/you shouldn't wave the Mexican flag"

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

Well you see the issue is that you are conflating immigration enforcement (which every country in the world has) with fucking Nazis who round up and murder people indiscriminately.

That’s why no one takes the radical left seriously and why Trump won last year in a landslide victory. Maybe if y’all come back to reality one day we won’t have to keep putting up with Republican victories.

[-]

ToeJam_SloeJam@reddit

I mean… he is rounding people up and sending them to prison camps in other countries without due process…

Kinda sounds like a Nazi to me

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

He is not rounding up citizens and sending them to El Salvador. He is sending individuals with a criminal background who came here illegally to El Salvador.

Maybe they’ll think twice before trying to come here and contribute to gang violence.

[-]

ToeJam_SloeJam@reddit

*** Without due process

That’s the fascist bit here, sugar bear. Even “illegal” immigrants are guaranteed due process in this country. The facts are tried in a court of law, and then someone is either found guilty or innocent of the accusation levied by the government. Extrajudicial— as in “without the judicial branch being involved” should worry every freedom loving American, sweet pea.

[-]

Massive-Frosting-722@reddit

All laws are not absolute…. It’s clearly stated

[-]

ToeJam_SloeJam@reddit

I’m sorry, what?

[-]

Massive-Frosting-722@reddit

While due process is a vital safeguard, it’s not absolute. The government can still take actions that affect individuals, but it must do so in a way that is fair and just.

[-]

ToeJam_SloeJam@reddit

“The government can be a little fascist, so long as I think it is fair and just. Never mind for fairness and justice to exist, the law should be applied equally”

[-]

Massive-Frosting-722@reddit

Was Obama a fascist when he deported 3 million illegal immigrants during his term?

[-]

ToeJam_SloeJam@reddit

Yes! That is also bad because about 10% were removed without any sort of judicial review!

100% of the people flown to El Salvador did not receive any treatment from the judiciary, and seem to have been picked up based on loose gang criteria. Also, no one used a foreign prison camp as a backdrop for a press conference.

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

Except for:

Radical left - ahh nothing like the fever dream of the American right wing

Landslide victory - yeah no, don't think so. 1.5 percent isn't a landslide.

And the Nazis here now run immigration. Thought everyone knew that much?

[-]

Massive-Frosting-722@reddit

So all republicans are nazis now? Or just Elon? Hard to keep up with yall

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

Did I say they all were? Don't think so. But the ones that are, are. The ones that aren't? Well, they're either stupid af or cowardly as they come if they'll just stand by and let those folks take everything. At best, they're chickens who've let shit get out of hand. Worst, they're enablers who can't seem to bring themselves to go all the way into it.

Y'all who?

[-]

Massive-Frosting-722@reddit

Democrats, liberals.. yall. I find it extremely humorous that YALL just call someone who doesn’t agree with you a Nazi. Deranged behavior

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

As neither one of those things, gonna ask - you actually know the meaning of either? It's not "someone who thinks you're full of shit" for reference. Thought you'd at least know that much.

Guess not.

That and naw. You call folks who show Nazi behaviors that - not simply for disagreeing. I get it though - some folks just have to lie about what actually happened because reality makes them shit themselves in fright. Seems like the average conservative type these days wouldn't know reality or a fact if it fell like a piano on them. Why they're so terrified of it, not sure - but it's a sad state of affairs nonetheless.

Deranged behavior? Yeah, worshipping a moronic dude who smells like shit and old ketchup is pretty deranged but not really my thing either.

[-]

Massive-Frosting-722@reddit

Your comment just proves my point. Buckle up for the 4 year ride! 🤘

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

Not really, but I'll be fair here:

No matter what your response was, I knew it would be mendacious and stupid. So I'm hardly disappointed.

Oh, no worries. I'll be enjoying this immensely. Schadenfreude is heartwarming as a mf.

It's been hilarious already watching some folks already finding out what stupid shit they've bought into.

[-]

jinda28@reddit

She got zero swing state, that's as good as a landslide 🤣

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

Yes, we're aware that actual numbers tend to upset you size queens.

[-]

jinda28@reddit

I'm not the one complaining about the terminology. Looks like you guys are allergic to the word landslide.

It's perspective, it is landslide to me. If you think it's close, lol OK, I believe you.

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

Hardly allergic to it. Just you know, conversant with the reality of numbers and all. That and if under 2% is a landslide to you, the best I can offer is - never under any circumstances bet or gamble, as your best outcome would likely be "found in your car's trunk and still able to be identified"

Jokes aside? You can call it a landslide if you like. Doesn't actually make it one - anymore than say, a dude painting his dick green, putting some eyes on it and calling it a python.

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

Immigration enforcement is not fascism. But keep that line of thought. Hyperbole and woke politics worked so well last time 😁

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

What's that - more bad conflation of things? And crying some mess about woke?

Moderate?

That lie you tell there might be the funniest one yet.

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

Bro you don’t have a monopoly on thought or labels. I was a card carrying democrat up until the party abandoned reason. There are many others like me. Until the Democratic Party gets its head out of its ass conmen like Trump will keep winning elections.

Liberals continue to be lost on immigration, the family and the economy. Yet you keep going back and prodding the bear with terrible takes on those issues.

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

I'm not the one chucking labels, homie - that's your bad projection again.

You're a pretty shit liar - you know that? No? There's the freebie for the day. I have a very hard time believing any of that above. Maybe if hadn't been such tired astroturf, I might but now?

Nah.

Please don't make yourself look worse by assuming not in goose step with your garbage is a liberal.

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

Throwing around labels like “liar” sure buddy. You’re the one projecting lmao. Keep your head buried in the sand and giving the east win to Republicans…

[-]

DreadLordNate@reddit

Ummm. Given that you're actively lying, it's not really projecting as it is calling what I am actually observing.

Do you have this much trouble with everything you read?

I mean, easy solution here would be "stop being a liar" but we know that's not what's gonna happen - as evidenced by your doubling down.

Look - you wanna lick boots, that's your deal. I get that. However, seems to me the least you could do is quit being disingenuous about who/what you are - or barring that, not be such a simp as to think everyone who's not you is the group you tribally have been programmed to hate.

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

“Lick boots” oh yeah we got a radical lefty here for sure. ACAB brother! Anarchy in the streets wooohoo.

Didn’t lie once, but keep thinking whatever lunacy you want.

[-]

Virus_Agent@reddit

Exactly. Immigration enforcement is the same thing as pulling up your pants, going to work, and sticking by your guns. Liberals are weak minded empathetic pussies

[-]

fivemagicks@reddit

I really, really suggest you read into the rise of dictators in the first have of the 20th century. I love conservatives defending Trump against the idea of autocracy pretending guys like Hitler woke up one day, announced they were running for election, and just immediately took victory.

The rise to power of dictators took time, decades sometimes. This is what Americans are standing up to prevent from occurring - the RISE of autocracy. Instead of being Trump sheep, pick up a non-fiction book and read about dangerous leaders. The parallels are genuinely troubling.

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

Not a conservative. Trump is not Hitler. You are grasping at straws and looking at patterns in the white noise.

[-]

ToeJam_SloeJam@reddit

Let’s take stock so far.

Unelected, unconfirmed head of pretend agency does a Nazi salute at inauguration.
Constant “jokes” about annexing allies.
Sending people to prison camps in other countries without trial.
Openly defying co-equal branch of government and soft sailing the idea of eliminating some district courts altogether.
Imprisoning students under the guise of “terrorism.”
Strong arming law firms into promising pro-bono work for the administration
Exactly 0 repercussions for major security breach
Pushing for control of elections instead of decentralized by the States.
Unconstitutionally seeking third term.

*List is not all inclusive. But I guess he can’t grow a little mustache, so he can’t possibly be Hitler.

[-]

fivemagicks@reddit

I didn't say he was Hitler. Lmfao. Again, if you really haven't read into how autocrats rise into power, you genuinely wouldn't get it. Looking at patterns. Dude, his propaganda tactics are older than film media and actually work. You'd think our species would have progressed due to our accessibility to information, but it simply isn't the case.

The guy isn't ruling out military force to take... fucking Greenland. Like, what? An American president is talking of military expansion, and you're like, "The RADICAL left, blah blah." Yeah, totally normal coming from an American president. 🤔

[-]

lifegoeson5322@reddit

Oh...we think Trump cheated to get elected. You know us radical left and our conspiracy theories /s

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

Yeah, many in the left actually do think Trump cheated. They’re just as insane as the right.

[-]

Warm-Prize-5546@reddit

You're trying to convince people on reddit some of whom Probably are bots that they've been brainwashed to a third grade level? May I remind you that reddit is beyond left-wing. Unless they're violent or talking like that keep scrolling. This is their venting space. Lol.

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

I don’t care. I’ll be the voice of reason in a sea of insanity. This is my vent space too.

[-]

uhh_khakis@reddit

Wanna expand on what you think the radical left is?

[-]

Virus_Agent@reddit

There is a right way to immigrate. Invading our country is not the right way.

[-]

Peligreaux@reddit

How did your ancestors invade the US?

[-]

Virus_Agent@reddit

They were native Indians. Mostly Cherokee

[-]

Peligreaux@reddit

Seriously doubt that.

[-]

Virus_Agent@reddit

Good for you

[-]

uhh_khakis@reddit

Mind providing an example of invasion of "our" country?

[-]

Blanche_Deverheauxxx@reddit

Yeah but even the larger protest had a number of American flags being carried. So yes, some flags from other countries but also American flags on display.

[-]

TexasInsights@reddit

The downtown protests are fine and all, but the people in downtown dallas aren’t the ones you have to convince not to vote for Trump.

These large scale protests really need to happen in the suburbs and rich areas like these folks are doing. Bring 50,000 people to march in Highland Park, not in front of city hall.

[-]

coffeerebel@reddit

My first thought was that everyone on this side of town agrees. Go to Preston and NW Hwy.

[-]

Furrealyo@reddit

This. And every keyed Tesla births another Republican voter. Stop eating your own.

Reject the fringe, engage the moderates, and win every election moving forward. This is a recipe for either side BTW.

[-]

TexasInsights@reddit

Viable Ideas would help the Democratic Party more than anything.

Just asking people to vote for the Democratic Party because they’re not as bad as the republicans has basically been the pitch since essentially 2000.

That and voting based on identity politics.

What have the benefits been for average middle class voters for voting Democratic in the last 25 years? Nothing really.

[-]

TheLastModerate982@reddit

Unfortunately the current Democratic Party trend is: “Reject the fringe, the moderates and the center-left liberals. We love Socialism and identity politics. We are enlightened and our way is the only correct way.”

Yeah me too. They actually call it 78, when you go outside of Garland and rowlett, towards Lavon lake, but I’ve been out there when i was a kid, and I’ve been going down Garland road my whole life, and I never, till about 3 years ago, figure out it was the same road.

Protesting a decision from three weeks ago to cut spending of federal research about how hot is cold and how cold is hot from a group of people who will say whatever their research shows to get more federal money for bullshat research the same time boycotting a company that everyone was backing to save the environment, but now he's a nazi...got it. Nothing like cutting off your own nose is spite of your face
