Does the lesson of you are not special have to be learned one at a time forever?
Why do you think we're in this situation? Practically, the majority of Americans can only learn things the hard way.
All humans, not just Americans.
‘Majority’ is really the word you wanted to use? Less than 35%, and that’s with a possibly stolen election.
Many of those who didn't vote also learn the hard way.
Yep. A whole lot of people are just checked the fuck out and think "oh, that's politics", not realizing that politics will take an interest in them, whether they like it or not.
And then there are the sanctimonious jackasses that think they would "rise above it all" or whatever by throwing away their vote on a third party or that they'd stay home, all because they were too pure to vote for an imperfect candidate from the Democratic Party.
I'm sure all that purity will be some comfort...
Do you think the people who didn't vote are somehow doing better than the ones who did vote?
Wait, are you telling me that I'm not going to suddenly be the person making more than 3 million dollars a year for no reason other than going to work every day, having a good attitude, and trying to climb the ranks?
I only need to average a $1442/hr wage at 40 hour weeks. Wait... that still isn't enough money to fall into the category of higher taxation that the democrats wanted with their Marxist attitude which was used all throughout the 50's, 60's, 70's, and tanked during the 80's. Kind of a similar trend between taxation and wage stagnation but those aren't related at all!

"Obviously nobody else is special because just I am, duh"

Unfortunately, yes.
And, as an American, we tend to forget everything after 1-3 years. So you have to teach us again. And again. And again. And-
You understand, I gather.
If you are even vaguely Latino in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.
If you are even vaguely
Latinobrown in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.

And they won't stop there. Fascism needs a constant supply of new enemies, and sooner or later you will find yourself in its sights.
Yeah I mean they are literally trying to drum up a causus belli for war on liberal states right now. I'm sure they won't stop trying even if they can't goad protesters to violence.
I am a white appearing half Latino—there but by the grace of god go I. I take this fight personally.
I’m surprised by how many latinos (according to research) genuinely believe they are part of the American “white” ethno-fascist in-group. It’s unbelievably bizarre.
In my case, I was born here, raised here, and only know English. Both of my parents wanted me to be as Americanized as possible. I have almost no visible Latino traits.
Despite the odds, I have found myself really resonating with Latino culture as I have gotten older, and have been heavily considering moving south. I am very aware of the privilege I have in this country due to the dice roll of how I look. If my brown brothers and sisters ever want a double agent around here, they’ve got my number.
As long as nobody looks at my last name I'm WASP as fuck.
We could make such an awesome cell of double agents.
Double agents are double crossing everyone. I think you mean spy or saboteur.
I thought a double agent was someone who pretends to be an agent for one group, but are actually an agent for another. For instance, in my half baked fantasy, I would get a job with ICE, but feed information to The League of Extraordinary Mariachi while always finding a way to make the cuffs too loose so the prisoners just happen to escape.
No, double agent is in group 1, they spy on group 2. In the process they get recruited by group 2. Then spies for both groups.
Worst part is that Shirley was going through the process of naturalization and working to be here legally. Through a process the military had put in place for just this exact kind of thing.
She had no criminal record, has been here for a decade, and has faithfully reported for her hearings. Not to mention she is gainfully employed.
Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?

The even sicker part is that there is an entire cult worth of brainwashed racists all sitting around a table afterwards congratulating eachother for making America ""safe"" and saving their country.
I could throw a plate.
Because America put a deranged convict into, what is arguably the most powerful position in the world. Congress won't challenge him, so he's running amok while his party turns a blind eye to the obvious human rights violations that are constantly happening.
The whole "worst of the worst" line for who that are deporting is, and always has been a lie. They just want POCs to suffer and die because they're Nazis.
But on that morning in March, Guardado got a strange phone call at work. Some sort of public safety officer had dialed her office and wanted her to come outside to talk. In the parking lot, three men in plain clothes identified themselves as Department of Public Safety officers, Correa told The War Horse. As Shirly approached, they said her car had been involved in an accident. But when she got close, they grabbed her and handcuffed her, telling her they were ICE agents.
God damn this is scummy as hell.
Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him…

"Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him and serving the country, as he believed only violent criminals would be targeted."

I am sure this guy thought, “Well it won’t happen to me…”, but sadly, Trumpism is happening to all of us.
All sympathy to the innocent woman and child, but to the husband? YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR SCUMBAG. It’s unfortunate that an innocent woman and child you care about had to be affected, but fuck you.
I wonder who he voted for.
This post says he voted for Trump
Ohh .. ok in that case .. I guess he learned something about his decisions...next he needs to learn that fire = hot and water = wet 😏
This is just insane! And to leave the family in a lurch for 3 months?! That's even worse.
Now off you go to genocide / die for the Israeli empire.
I wonder what the chances are that someone who works for ice gets thier spouse carted off.

I didn't see it mentioned here or elsewhere what party the Sgt has a associated with, but it did mention the party (Democrat) of another officer. The omission of this speaks volumes though.
