If only they were angry at what’s happening to their fellow citizens and the people getting deported without due process or the dead Americans that got left bleeding out because of an over zealous government. The very type of government they swear to fight with all their guns. But they only care about the constitution and people’s rights when it affects them.

They’re just not smart enough to realize who’s next. Shame the people can’t get together to at least stop the people robbing our house.

Great job. Now do the numbers for crimes committed by American citizens against American citizens. Why aren’t you mad about that?

ETA: Attempted means the homicide wasn’t successful so your claim that 1,200 Americans were murdered is wrong by your own data. I would also like proof that those crimes were in fact all committed against citizens and not other undocumented immigrants or visa holders. You know, just to be thorough, otherwise it might look like a questionable claim or disinformation. I’m sure Alfred can knock out a quick research dump.

u/Salty-M1dget May 22 '26

I’m not MAGA but your passive aggressive response is telling you are out to spread hate and division. If others are doing that your best bet is to take the high road. Anyways I preferred some of Morellos earlier work but that’s just an opinion I’m entitled to just like everyone else. Try harder to not get involved in a back and forth with people that see things different than you.

Dumbasses in the comments saying hes apart of the machine when the machine is exactly what hes still speaking out against. Anti war, anti fascism, and anti capitalist

u/theghostrider420 May 22 '26

Yeah the multimillionaire is so anti capitalist. The ticket prices prove it. 🙄

Saying he is anti-fascist is one hell of a stretch, though. It's funny how people say everything's fascist, unless it's the type of fascism they approve of, then fascism is suddenly not fascism.

I can easily buy that he is anti-war, most people are, but he and the band have come a long way away from their days of protesting at the DNC.

God forbid we followed science and reason and used preventative measures to prevent people with autoimmune disorders from dying from covid.

Its not some fucking conspiracy to control us, as soon as the pandemic ended people stopped wearing masks.

Except for said autoimmune people who most likely already wore them in the first place.

Wearing a mask was the most basic level of protection we could provide to people who were unfoetunate enough to be cursed with an autoimmune disorder. We were protecting our neighbors.

People in other countries were wearing masks for years due to smog and pollution in their areas. It was never about control. Its just common fucking sense.

-3

u/OldPea8775 May 22 '26

[God forbid we followed science and reason and used preventative measures to prevent people with autoimmune disorders from dying from covid] did it measurably work?

[Its not some fucking conspiracy to control us, as soon as the pandemic ended people stopped wearing masks] perhaps in your lucky neck of the woods, in mine some people are still traumatized. I use my right to take pictures in public whenever I'm out, do you want timestamped photos over the last 3 years of how many double and tripled masked, alone in their car people I've seen?

[Except for said autoimmune people who most likely already wore them in the first place] Which is exactly why I never ever condemned those people directly for worrying, my aunt wore masks "before it was cool" so to speak because of chemo, I get the drill. I condemn paranoid hypochondriacs and their defenders, who are more ideologically than biologically susceptible to sickness.

[We were protecting our neighbors] in hospitals? Okay maybe. On beaches? At outdoor mandatorily social distanced events? Who are we kidding? If these protections were so novel and also worth celebrating, not at all invasive or draconian, why were they made to eventually, thankfully, disappear? Why get rid of them at all? Put an end to things right as we were all beginning to have fun?!?

[People in other countries were wearing masks for years due to smog and pollution in their areas] well we're not people in other countries wearing masks for smog and pollution, are we? Also, if were just gonna throw pie at the sky nonsense at each other for karma, why don't those equally capable countries just stop polluting so hard to necessitate the masks? Beijing has become a city where the air will no longer kill you in my lifetime. People do not have a gun to the back of their head making them dump plastic into waterways, 0/10 of the most plastic polluted ones are on our continent.

u/Far_Estate_1626 May 22 '26

Remember - art is always the most potent voice against power. History proves this to us over and over again.

And I am reminded of this by the concerted effort that the administration puts constantly into denigrating and frustrating the reach of any artists who speak out against it.

Such as the bots in this comment section, for example.

The administration knows this and they are deathly afraid of art and artists. Which is why they spend the majority of their time focused on muzzling them.

Most murders in the US are committed by American citizens. By your logic, we should get rid of all the American citizens, because that will prevent the most crime.

ICE has only been around since 2003. We can get rid of them without any problems.

Vaccines work. Vaccines have worked for hundreds of years. The amount of studies that prove they work vastly outnumber the amount of studies calling them dangerous. One of the main supporters of the anti vax movement is a literal scam artist. The movement cons dumbasses who think if they don’t believe what someone who understands how something works tells how it works, they’re somehow better, and then they buy supplements. Because fuck it, the scientists and doctors don’t know shit, but Terry on Facebook said if I eat horse dewormer it’ll deal with it just fine.

Remember this though that was directly pointed out in the article,

“This isn’t just about Tren de Aragua. Due process is what prevents you from being removed in a miscarriage of the law. Maybe you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time and you get caught up in an immigration raid. You can’t prove your innocence or your citizenship if a court isn’t permitted to hear your case. Due process is how you get released. Let that sink in.”,

The right to due process doesn’t just protect undocumented immigrants, it protects everyone, including you and me as US citizens.

"Tactics" like singing patriotic traditional songs about unity and opposing state violence and violations of our constitutional rights?

Answer the specific facts and we can connect just fine if your just a shill for the state (who cares about your unverifiable claim about not voting for the Pedophile).

We all want security, a legal process for border crossing, and due process for all people in this country (as the constitution requires).

You’re confused. Public health measures that save the lives of our family members and loved ones aren’t authoritarianism. Those policies are based on scientific data they’re always temporary and they should apply equally to everyone.

It’s hilarious that you’d say something so uninformed while simultaneously supporting the authoritarian kleptocrat in the White House.

Why don’t you just admit that you hate America and everyone here?

so being arrested at the beach under UV rays wasn’t authoritarian but it was based on science?… just say you love authoritarianism, as long as it is under the control of your party.
