And somehow it will be the Dem's fault

That's assuming they have some self awareness & analytical capacity

A bold assumption!

They will be angry that it happened to them, but they won't be able to connect the dots

[–] [email protected] 0 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

This isn't some government policy who's effects are not incredibly transparent. This will be direct. It will be impossible not to connect the dots. There is two dots.

And yet indeed. Fuck.

Let's all be honest, this time around you're getting deported with your grandpa. It probably doesn't matter if you're a legal citizen or not.

well that's just reenacting the Civil War, the 2024 movie

Can't wait until they open the anonymous line to report people. You bet I am reporting everyone I know that voted for him!

I'm kidding, of course, but it has crossed my mind...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well that's just old news

It is our duty to make such a service unusable for its intended purpose.

I work in data. I have this handy dandy datasheet from a recent election. It has everyone on it. It would be trivial to scrape out the republican voters and submit 60 million names they weren't looking for to the list, but it's two elections old and I don't like playing those games. Also, they'd probably see 60 million names submitted at once and think "fuck that trash all those" if they had a halfway decent data security dude there.

So I guess I better get started on scrubbing the data.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Honestly, this is pretty much what LLMs and user generators were built for. A couple of the shit post subs (anything with horny on main) already have tooling set up.

For the crowd, the goal is to clog the system in a way that is really hard to filter. You want bad data and also lots of differing types of bad data. Spam shrek, bee movie transcripts, AI generated rants, report a guy called "Lehuge" 80 times with conflicting info, etc. You know the drill.

I have a feeling you won't have to...

Not my abuela, just the bad ones.

I am honestly ready for all the torture Trump will give us. Let people remember what a Trump presidency was like. We are completely at his mercy, and I hope that the GOP gets the karma they deserve for supporting the not-so-figurative anti-Christ.

First time I've ever been ashamed to be American

We don't know their age or experience. Unfortunately, there's going to be plenty of opportunities to catch up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

It also makes sense from the perspective that this time, the fascist might even win the popular vote. I always had that to fall back on at least.

"First time?" meme

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I'm sure not. I've voted against the Republicans every fucking time, but I'm still a prime target for their future concentration camps.

It's so reassuring to see people ready to just throw their arms up and watch innocent people have their rights stripped and their lives brutally ended.

Schadenfreude is a helluva drug...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

What, all the other absolutely absurd U.S. atrocities, at home and abroad, didn’t do it for you? Man I’m ashamed just to be your neighbour and for having our own dipshit Conservative politicians that like to cosplay as Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pulling the ladder up behind you like this is impressive.

I personally know a trump voter with a Latina wife (born in the US). But the fact that deporting 20 million people would mean mass arrests, chucking people in camps and figuring it out later was poo poohed away. "He would never do that... " Well that's a bold strategy, let's see if it pans out.

If only we had some sort of American example of how this would work in practice... Using the same law that is being floated..

But those were Japanese! That's totally different!

Operation Wetback was more recent. It's called wetback because our government had a sweepstakes to name it, we even had events like fairs to celebrate. People could come get some cotton candy, ride the rides, and see Mexicans in cages. Then they'd be loaded up by truck or even helicopter and deposited somewhere deep into Mexico.

And of course it wasn't just "illegal aliens." In operation Wetback, they all can go.

Could I get a link to the fairs? It doesn’t make the core of it any less terrible but I’d like to see more information about it before sticking that in my brain, ya know?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

If you hadn't brought this to my attention, I was going to joke that they'd name it after some slur but here we are

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago

Like all other Trump voters who are affected by his policy, they'll find a way to blame it on the Democrats.

Fascists are incapable of self-reflection.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh well, you get what you voted for, literally since Trump and Republicans ran on mass deportation. If it happens to hit those who knowingly or unknowingly have "illegal" immigrant relatives, oh well, that's literally what you voted for. Then again, I highly doubt MAGA will stop at that so have fun.

Thank God my folks became citizens.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 22 hours ago

If they're brown I don't know if citizenship will be sufficient
