And how many of that 35% are willing to take the risk of it becoming a civil war?

    How many of the 65% are happy to do nothing as the fascists keep winning?

    I'd say its about 99.9% of both groups. I mean, Trump got elected, and no one stopped it. Americans can't be that attatched to a functioning democracy. Or human rights. Or not having a rapist treasonous dementia ridden piece of shit steering our country into the plantery core. Off hand, I can only think of about 4 people who id consider the true americans of this generation, and i think all four of those people are right wingers sadly. As much as i hate right wingers, it does seem like if the country is ever to be improved, itll be a lone right winger to do it.

    There was a group of anarchists who ambushed an ICE facility and shot them.

    The media quickly buried that story, which always makes me laugh when I hear how Libs say not to use violence as Trump is only waiting for an excuse. Yet when he got the perfect excuse, it’s all crickets.

    Really? Im going to have to look into that, thats possibly the most inspiring news ill hear this week.

    Edit: Alvarado, Texas (July 4, 2025): A group of around 10 individuals, described by prosecutors as a "North Texas Antifa Cell" and "insurrectionary anarchists", ambushed the Prairieland ICE Detention Facility. They used fireworks as a distraction, vandalized vehicles, and opened fire on responding officers with semiautomatic rifles, injuring one local police officer in the neck. Two men, Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts, have been indicted with terrorism-related charges, the first time such charges have been applied in this manner to alleged Antifa followers. Portland, Oregon (June 2025): A mob of protesters breached the local ICE facility after a "No Kings" march, injuring four federal officers. Rioters in black clothing used a makeshift battering ram to break a glass door and forcibly entered the building. Federal agents deployed tear gas and smoke bombs to secure the facility, and several arrests were made. Broadview, Illinois (September-October 2025): Protests outside the Broadview ICE facility escalated into violence, with protesters allegedly attacking officers, ramming vehicles, and throwing objects. An anarchist website targeting ICE agents and facilities was also identified in the Chicago area.

    Thats awesome! Im not sure how i feel about the local cops catching some collateral, but on the other hand ACAB especially if youre allying with ICE, so I don't feel too bad.

    But also, attacking ICE is just a reactionary measure. ICE and their facilities can be replaced, for any semblance of results youd need to deal with the root issue that results in the symptom of ICE.

    Just about everything about this comment is factually incorrect. There were two incidents. In the first, a group of people (allegedly) were setting off fireworks and spray-painting vehicles, fled from responding local police, and one of the group shot at them and injured an officer. In the second incident, a disturbed individual fired and killed a detainee, injuring two others. Then he killed himself.

    So, no anarchists, no ICE personnel shot, and it was easy to find the news stories about both incidents. ICE has shot several people, and begun using more violent tactics, so it would at appear that they are escalating.

    How fucking wrong can you be?

    They used fireworks to lure out officers from the Prairieland ICE facility and shot 3 of them with rifles. Them being Anarchists is also well established, one of them even being a prior member of the John Brown Gun Club involved in an earlier incident.

  • I read several news pieces about the incident. You should read the Wikipedia article when linking it. One local police officer was wounded, no ICE personnel were shot. Three detainees were shot in a separate incident in Dallas. The John Brown Gun Club isn't anarchist. So, as I said, no anarchists, no ICE personnel shot, it was easy to find news stories (and a Wikipedia article) about the incident, and ICE is escalating their violent tactics.
