Gotta tell people it's a good thing. Their base is used to being told what to think. You can add that phrase after anything and they'll agree.

"Hey fellow Republican, we're taking your home and all your possessions. We're going to leave you penny less and on the street. This is a good thing."

    Worst part was all the people on Lemmy saying they are normalizing people joining ICE. Uhh no. They aren't. They were showing a very real situation that has historical significance for many of history's past fascist regimes.

    I remember reading about a horrible statistic on the homeless. While many will talk about 17% being vets, or what the new number is. Based on interviews and polling of the homeless, an estimated 35-45% are people that grew out of the foster care/orphan system. Nearly half of the homeless likely never had a place they could call home.
