    “It really creeps me out that those are my neighbors — that that’s the kind of people I live next to. It’s really upsetting," the neighbor told the outlet. “I just assumed all the ICE agents were like, from Texas and Arizona and Florida.”

    See? That's your fucking problem. You still don't (want to) realize that you have a fascism problem in the core of your society.

    The US are a fascist country because there is a huge portion of its society that are fascists. Not just a few, not just some rotten apples.

    In their defense Minneapolis is a really liberal area. 90% of the rest of Minnesota counties go red, but in the twin cities it's generally not that way. I could understand how someone could think they live next to like minded people given that situation.

    There is absolutely a fascist problem here in the states, but I'll empathize with people that are trying to stay sane and avoid politics in their social lives which in turns can mean they're ignorant to things around them.

    2 hour old account spewing right wing talking points?

    Go back to r/conservative, Nazi scum. Your kind isn't welcome here.

    Being a fascist is a choice. Being LGBTQ is not.

    A choice made by pathetic lonely losers.

    Pathetic lonely fascist losers who do as they're told.

    Pathetic lonely fascist losers who can't even think for themselves.

    Pathetic lonely fascist losers who think attacking the weak makes them tough.

    Pathetic lonely fascist losers who cower in fear when the strong walk in the room.

    Pathetic lonely fascist losers who don't even have the bravery to step outside without covering their faces.

    Pathetic lonely fascist losers who need thousands of dollars worth of military equipment to stand up against unarmed civilians.

    Pathetic, lonely, fascist, losers.

    Lol, how can you be from the Midwest and not see how many folks are right-wing nutters here? I'm north of the 45th parallel and my town is 70% Republicans that still support Trump after all of this.

    Minnesota, it’s the hicks in the out state. Duluth is a bit mixed, but more progressive than the rural areas surrounding it, and you get up towards Roger’s and suddenly it’s trump country. Same going south, too.

    The twin cities and Duluth pretty much makes me blue. (And we’re not as reliably blue as many would care to pretend.)

    SE Minnesota is weird. There's pockets of conservatives then REALLY blue areas. But the further west you go, it's all MAGAt territory. Thankfully not nearly as populated but fucked up none the less.

    Yep. Even the most one sided places in the US, they’re only about 70% one side or the other.

    This is why I’m deathly afraid of a “civil” war. It’ll be neighbor on neighbor; at least for the first few days.

    When every single Trump voter/enabler lies to their grandkids about where they stood, get in their diseased faces and call them out. Do this until they are in the fucking ground.

    He may be a fascist murderer, but anytime someone tells me they are an "amateur botanist" I just assume they grow their own weed.

    And if so, the irony is that it wouldn't have been too long ago that the jackbooted thugs would have been coming for him instead.

    Also the guy is from Peoria Illinois. Maybe that's where he is hiding out.

    Maybe family still there.

    Peoria isn't that big. If he is there. And you are there. Won't be too hard to locate him.

    People will talk.

    What do you look like, in case someone here disagrees with something you wrote but doesn't believe in the rule of law?

    If you go to archive.ph you can just paste in the article's URL and read it. If it's not already archived, you may need to wait for the site to do so, but generally in my experience, most articles are already archived. There are also Firefox extensions that can bypass paywalls very effectively with no effort on your part.
