I get the dangers of acculturation stress, viable nefarious intentions, and many other aspects of an imprudent immigration policy. But the ICE raids are giving huge gestapo vibes. It's a bigger problem than people realize. They don't have to disclose full details of suspicion up front and, with masks on and no body cam, only say who they are when "practical and safe to do so." I hate to be that lady, but a sinister individual could really take advantage of such a situation, snatch up a chick, or god forbid, kid. In any case, this is a very slippery slope. You need only look at a little bit of history, a few studies (maybe the Stanford experiment), and utilize a bit of common sense to see how this is how some very bad things begin. Isn't this America? Isn't this 2025? This seems like brutish tactics of an earlier century wielding modern technology. We are so much better than this. Have we not evolved? We can come up with a better solution, no doubt. Especially when legal citizens are being killed. I don't give a damn who did what or where you think the fault lies! Citizens that are the ones supposedly being protected by all this are hurt and killed, and we don't take a beat? Any society with any similance of health or consciousness would take a breath and evaluate at the very least. We are better than this. And don't let the chaos bring you down. If you are to protest, I implore you to study the laws and regulations, be smart, and never fail to maintain composure. Please keep an open mind and think about it from a higher vantage, remembering that the red and blue thing is a blatant illusion. What sense does it make to open the border like they did? It doesn't make them compassionate. Are you so "compassionate" that you leave your front and back doors open at all times in case anyone may need a place to stay? No. They can knock, and if they are no threat, you allow them in and proceed with hospitality. So now that they have a reason to go searching and detaining people in a militant fashion, they are getting met with people doing what free people do. But the sinister thing is that we are normalizing harm and death with desensitization. And, please, tell me that it's not their goal to rile people up into a violent frenzy when they stood on the roof of a building void of threat and shoot protesters in the face with rubber bullets. No one is coming to save you. You must be wiser, more calculated, and more disciplined. And most of all, unwavering in morals. Because these dudes were trained by the most moral army in the world, right? To win, it's the only way. Otherwise, we slowly slide into a pseudo-compromise but ultimately a loss. And it will be a far greater loss than we may imagine.
