I do appreciate how they're just openly playing their hand now. Makes the battle against fascism very clear cut and plain to see. They're relying on the news-bubbling and conspiratorial leanings of their base to carry them through, but they don't have the numbers.
We do. Just have to get them to the polls.
I agree. The Republicans have really let the mask drop and shown who they really are. Biden wasn't lying when he said democracy was on the ballot this year.
So any business that hires Hispanic workers is now aiding and abetting known terrorists. I’d put $10 down that JJ or his relatives have such a business.
I’d even be fairly certain that if he changed the language to “being in the US illegally” that he or someone close to him would still be culpable.
I’m not a lawyer, but it is hard to tell from reading that if it means if you mark off one of the numbers it applies, or if you have to have 2 of 3 or what, but since it’s so vague, and most of the laws I’ve seen in that format if one point applies it all applies, I cannot in good faith argue that it won’t be used to target Hispanic people.
Point 2 specifies "and", but it's still super racist. Apparently white people who join street gangs and perform gang-related crimes aren't terrorists, only Hispanics are.
Right. That's the point. Keep the law vague for selective enforcement
It's definitely "and" of the conditions. But that's not the point.
Why can only hispanic gang members be domestic terrorists? Why wouldn't any other ethnicity of gang members be considered domestic terrorists?
I hope the Republican Hispanics in Florida hear about this.
Or Texas...
