My peaceful, law abiding neighbors were taken away by ICE thugs in a totally unnecessary military style raid in my upper-middle-class suburb. Absolutely no due process. Their autistic, profoundly disabled child was left alone, scared and unable to understand what was happening. After over a month of detention, the neighbors were released. Turns out they weren’t so dangerous after all.

This, to me, is a fucking disaster.

I saw this all the time to people. What happens in the white house doesn't affect people nearly as much as what happens locally, but its a 'disaster'?

What a completely selfish and myopic view of politics. Do you not watch the news? Also a very bad reading of history, thinking all those bad things like 1930s Germany can't happen here when enough people let it happen.

Yes yes, it's only a problem if it affects you.

Utterly tedious.

Not Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Palestine, the actual German Holocaust, or anything else, that's for sure, right? My life was never impacted by any of those.
