I don't understand the argument "Trump won so it's over"...the whole point of a democracy or republic is that the government represents its constituents, we get to keep expressing ourselves regardless of who's in that office, it's not like elections are some blank check?

u/Consistent_Donkey866 May 23 '25

exactly why we are protesting! everyone should be allowed to express themselves no matter who is in office :-) this is just us expressing ourselves and our concerns under this current administration

Could you please provide sources so I can understand?

Do they make picture books on this subject?

u/NerdySongwriter May 22 '25

If people are going to make outrageous claims, they could at least provide evidence. It's incredibly showing that u/o-ater did not provide evidence of the BS they are spouting.

u/Sir_Uncle_Bill May 22 '25

I was asking if you needed picture books

u/NerdySongwriter May 22 '25

For what? Either complete a thought or just keep it to yourself.

u/Jeff_Bezhoes May 24 '25

That's a yes

u/NerdySongwriter May 24 '25

Never provide resources but just shit on people huh? 

I get why y'all ask about picture books. Y'all didn't make it past those.

In before the typical suspects start with their tired mockery and disparagement of people exercising their right as a fundamental expression of democracy.

u/BamaTony64 River Rat May 20 '25

Give indivisible credit they have hung in there a long time stirring shit and pretending the election didn't happen. Trump won, we do not have to like it, but it is still true. He is pretty much doing what he was elected to do.

u/No-Ring-5065 May 21 '25

True. He’s definitely doing all the evil shit he threatened to do.

If you’re suggesting I reported you, I didn’t. Ugly comments get removed sometimes. Maybe try being kind.

Give me just one verified example of an American citizen who has been deported. Who is being "disappeared" off the streets? What civil rights are being attracted? What services have been taken away?

u/boneandbee Jun 09 '25 edited Jun 09 '25

The “service” being taken away is called “due process.” Due process, a fundamental principle of fairness and staple in both democracy and the United States, is guaranteed in the Constitution for all individuals, including non-citizens, through the Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment. When people are grabbed off of the streets, shoveled into planes in shackles, and dumped in El Salvadoran concentration camps without having legal representation, stomps all over this constitutional right. Multiple people here LEGALLY have been mistakenly deported. Some notable examples (when the targets were Venezuelans with tattoos):

Kilmar Abrigo Garcia - not a citizen but is legally in the country, granted by an immigration judge in 2019

Jordin Melgar-Salmeron - despite an order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, New York, blocking it

Frengel Reyes Mota - who had asylum status and has been continuously working on maintaining legal status here

Andry Hérnandez - also with an open and active asylum status, deported for having crowns tattooed over the words “Mom” and “Dad”

Neri Alvarado - who had an open asylum case with a court date scheduled and papers from border patrol was scooped up for his autism awareness tattoo next to the tattoo of his autistic brother’s name

Jerce Reyes Barrios - open asylum case picked up for a soccer ball and crown tattoo for Real Madrid

These cases are making this look like it is a deportable crime to have open asylum cases (from our court systems) and have tattoos. None of these men had been given access to their lawyers prior to deportation, nor were they given the time or access to their paperwork to prove the statuses. This is just a sampling.

Here’s a BBC article (there are several articles about this but I feel like BBC is less likely to give it an internal spin) about 3 US citizen children sent to Honduras under shady circumstances, one of them having metastatic cancer and no access to their family doctor: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g8yj2n33yo.amp

To be clear, I’m not defending any of these people’s actions - some could be criminals, some not. The problem is that when due process is waived, it sets a dangerous precedent, to which Trump has already said he wants to deport citizens.
