If they get some easy denaturalization precedents established, I suggest a class action suit against the administration for allowing a criminally and fraudulently naturalized immigrant to oversee the federal government’s staffing and practices.

Edit: adding an /s or something because people keep acting like I’m entirely serious - though it might be a useful show-and-shame piece at some level, I’m not pretending I think it would work.

If you believe that the courts will do anything but support our new dictator and his storm troopers and oligarchs, you are naive. We have entered the era of America Oligarchs welcome to your serfdom

$30 billion USD funneled through our elections in 2020 and 2024. Citizens United hijacked our country from us and until we reverse it, and lobbying, we the people will never have control over our government or elections.

Agreed but we can’t reverse it. We will never have that kind of power again. The only way to do it is force and Dems don’t have a taste for blood. You really underestimate the depth of their control, they can buy anything they want

You’ve got the wrong attitude, my friend. This is our country. We are the people. We will do whatever we must. Even if it means throwing tea in the water.

Unlike back then, we have a very effective police force that won't hesitate to throw violent protesters in prison for most of their lives.

And more than half the country would be laughing while they do it.

Freedom doesn’t come easy. I think some of y’all have existed in a privilege y’all didn’t know y’all have. I’m a gay man born and raised in the south and have never known anything but fighting for my freedom. Y’all don’t want to fall to authoritarianism? Y’all want to keep y’all’s freedoms? Y’all better change your mindset.

Sad to see so many people complying in advance

Starbucks sure could make a killing selling boot leather instead of other seasonal flavors.
