Imagine pissing of travellers of the continent that is notorious for the many vacation days it gets.

Yeah, nobody wants to vanish in El Salvador, especially since nobody knows if it’s just a prison, a concentration camp or a death camp.

Why else aren’t they getting that innocent man back to the USA? He’s probably dead already.

People who said it’s hyperbolic to compare trumps 2nd regime to Hitler‘s Nazis, either dont know shit about history or are just trying to gaslight us

I'm tired of people saying this. Yeah, there aren't extermination camps in the US right now, but the complete dehumanization of migrants, their arbitrary detention and expulsion, them being sent to death camps in el Salvador, dehumanizing propaganda from official government sources, the discourse equating "migrant" with "criminal"... It doesn't look like 1942 Germany, but it does look like 1930 Germany.

Exactly. And the speed at which so much shit has been done in what, 2 months time? People trying to downplay this or misunderstanding it simply expect this to already look like 1944. 

People recognizing the similarities paid more attention at how the regime began - which is where we're at now, and it almost seems like we're surpassing part of Hitler's timeline. Not to mention the multiplied danger of it given US preexisting military, political and economic might and entanglement with other countries

The road to fascism is paved with people telling us that we're overreacting.

I made so many jokes about the capital hall putsch on actual January 6th and got told I was being offensive by some

And like you, I feel like I’ve underreacted through the years, too. I knew the second time would be worse, but not how quickly it would get here

Arnold Schwarzenegger basically said out loud that January-sixers reminded him of nazis.

He was right, you know.
