Ok, we have to draw a strong line here.
Firefighters are one of the only categories that are universally agreed upon across every spectrum as a good force of humanity.
This level of evil is redefining too much

    Not MAGA they are not. My dad hates fire fighters and says taxes should not pay for them. I don't know why he loathe them but he brought it up a few times. I am sure sone right wing shit he listens to today told him so.

    I really want to see states like Washington harness their state troopers to track down and "block" ice, or protect their constituents.

    But maybe thts just came I live in a currently Red state (VA) that is working with ICE.

    Ehhhh slow your role there a bit

    For the most part yeah firefighters are a good force, but their origins are just as shady as the police.

    And even to this day there are plenty of places where the fire department operate closer to their original counterparts then they do to the image we have of them.
