          Obama had opportunities to push things in the right direction but instead enabled (by not abolishing or by actively renewing legislation) a lot of what we’re seeing.

          This is fine, the government wouldn’t ever use this in a bad way

          What if the government is no longer benevolent? What if a cabal of activists takes over the executive branch?

          That’ll never happen

          It’s actually an acronym: The USA PATRIOT Act which stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism”

          But I like to call it The U SAP AT RIOT Act

        You weren’t wrong. You just were early.

        IMO, people are a lot stupider and act with a lot less knowledge of the obvious outcomes of their actions than we give them credit for, and the possibility of non-obvious outcomes is often completely missing from their worldview.

      There are legitimate uses of the words used in the sentence, but when used in this exact format it’s indeed very clearly intentionally evocative of ww2 era propaganda.

      Honestly, it’s pretty sad how creatively bankrupt they are that they’re reusing these slogans and imagery.

    Looks like something from a dystopic video game. We really have gone deep down the dark, sinister path in America.

    At a restaurant this weekend I saw an absolutely disgusting commercial. It was targeting cops who want to do more but are “held back” because this is a “sanctuary city.”

    You too can go to prison and have your descendants discuss how disgusted they are to be related to you! Act now and you can even spend your later years haunted by the faces of the children you hurt

    You should click on it, click click click click, get your friends to click. Click on every device with a unique IP. We should all seek out these ads and click click click

    Ads are usually paid for on a per click basis btw, the more unique clicks the bigger the bill

    Suck dick TODAY!
    Right wing racist pussies - yes please!

    If peeps thought cops had a chip on their shoulder for being bullied in high school for being pillow-biters, ICE is a step below them, in the worse way.
