    going to be…? my brother in christ our ICE is the American Gestapo. I’m not some expert in them but I believe the match even gets down to hiring criminals and people who can’t pass tests of various kinds.

    But he prefaced this with some real nationalist, replacement theory bullshit.

    2:39:43 And I think there’s there’s a balance to be achieved. I just don’t know how it gets done because I I see both perspectives. I see the perspective of the people that say, "Hey, there was an illegal program moving people in here to get votes, moving people in here to get congressional seats, and we’ve got to change that. We’ve got to take those people that got in and send them back to where they came from or do something because if we don’t, they’re going to keep doing it if they get in office again in 2028 and it’s going to accelerate. and you’re you’re you’re going to have to take away some of the damage that’s been done to a true democratic system because you’ve kind of hijacked it and they kind of have. And then I can also see the point of view of the people that say, “Yeah, but you don’t want militarized people in the streets just roaming around snatching people up, many of which turn out to actually be US citizens that just don’t have their papers on them. Are we really going to be the the Gestapo? Where’s your papers? Is that what we’ve come to?” So, it’s it’s more complicated than I think people want to admit. You know, people want to look at this as a black and white issue. You know, if you’re a compassionate person or if you’re a pragmatic person and I don’t think that’s true. I think it’s both.

      So does the modern incarnation of the “great replacement theory” include dastardly Democrats “moving people” like Somali refugees into a relatively concentrated area (like one city or county or region), waiting for them to become citizens (multi year process if ever), and then leveraging that to take power through elections?

      I mean I think the explanation that makes more sense is grouping traumatized people with a shared heritage together probably makes them feel safer and accelerates true assimilation (bi directional to include America changing a bit). Coupled with this that become citizens through our legal naturalization process are… American citizens. But what do I know I’m probably not taking enough HGH and testosterone and ketamine

        The real litmus test is if they hold the same position, spoiler: they won’t, with Trump bringing in South African “refugees”.

    I believe in someone redeeming themselves…

    But this is a grift post. At least it might do the tiniest bit of good. People who already listen to him are lost regardless so no amount of damage can come out of him but he has a lot of potential to start doing something positive for this world. Even if he sprinkles it here and there.

    Gosh, Joe. Is Trump bad? Does he want to do bad things? Was voting for him bad? Does that make you bad?

    Don’t worry about it, buddy. You were still right to tell everyone you supported him and would vote for him and that you wanted him to hold you in his big strong pudding-arms while you fell asleep. You were right to support him on air with your millions of idiot listeners. It’s ok, pal. Just let everyone know that you don’t approve of this latest bad stuff and then it’s not your fault. There you go, guy.
