Because everyone has apparently become so numbed out to the situation that every new emergency gets less and less passionate resistance against it from the people in charge. Trumps first term was tame af compared to what he’s done the first year of his second term. And I feel like there was far more congressional push back and outrage and resistance then. Now everyone just seems too burnt out to even put up a real fight. Just some lip service of “c’mon that’s not cool” but nobody really willing to put anything on the line to prevent it. The *people* are pissed, our elected officials are not doing what’s in the people’s best interest, they’re not doing their job. *cough cough* *Schumer and Jefferies*

Because the media is owned by billionaires and has very publicly sided with the pedophiles.
The revolution will not be televised.

Because the US media is in the pocket of the White House and won’t print stories that may bring Trump’s dictatorial ambitions into the minds of the masses.

Every WEEK we get some constitutional crisis that would END a democratic presidency. It is a national Emergency. People are free to ADD IT TO THE PILE.
Until shit shifts significantly in Congress, there is no legal path to stopping him. 60% of Congress is either backing him or complicit. His administration just ignores any court order they receive to stop. The system is not designed to handle an entire party being united in setting the constitution on FIRE.
So the options are 1) make noise so they know we’re angry, not really expecting anything to change in the immediate 2) hope we have midterms and that they swing enough that we can throw them out on their ass 3) options that are less than legal, which I cannot elaborate on further without mean messages from Reddit mods and a visit from the secret service.
Before mods or government officials put their coffee down to act, I’m doing 1 and 2. I bring up 3 because it is important to be aware that the non-legal always exists and the less realistic the legal options get, the more likely the illegal one occurs. Totalitarian reigns end one way. Trump is only acting like a dictator because his enablers are allowing it. There are still legal levers to try.

That’s why the ONLY way to derail the dictatorship is to goad them to reveal their brutality. Extreme action is the only way to achieve that.

I’ve posted this before, but 10 years ago I often couldn’t comprehend how the Nazis could come to power and then esclate their campaign of hate and genocide without people rebelling against it. It just didn’t make any sense to me.
I don’t really have that much trouble imagining it nowadays.

Why isn’t the cost of all of this being looked at? They are spending billions on immigrants and refugees, illegal and legal. All of that money could have been spent on actually making America a bit better instead of making it a fascist hellhole.
At least part of it is that his voters like the idea of concentration camps.

We didn’t treat his violent coup attempt in 2021 as a national emergency so a few camps here or there aren’t going to trigger that.

The media in this country died in 2016 and was replaced by a bunch of buffoons who’d rather report of stuff that isn’t important but to one or two families. What’s happening with Savannah is awful, but it’s not wall to wall worthy when you’ve got authoritarianism making daily advances. We deserve better.

Because national emergencies are handled by the federal government. When the federal government’s action is a national emergency there is no plan of action.
One of many ways empires fall; our constitution is too old and too weak.

Because no one knows about it. The media is silent. Social media is being censored. The Democratic party is so scared of being as accused of being soft on illegal immigration they won’t make any noise. What ICE is doing publicly is so over the top activists aren’t able to focus on everything else that’s happening.
There are endless court documents detailing just how fucking horrible the situation in these camps are, but what normal people are reading through those? Other than that almost everyone in a position to speak out is failing our country right now.
All we can do is refuse to be silent and let people be comfortable. That and do everything in our power to get Democratic candidates who are speaking up through the primary and into the general election. Don’t complain about the bad Democrats, that’s pointless, everyone already knows Chuck Schumer is failing the test. We have to actively work to replace them with candidates who will unapologetically fight to stop this.

Building concentration camps in the Third Reich was not a topic for discussions, people in Germany largely ignored it. The Nazis learned from this and moved camps into occupied territories.
History repeats itself. USA is sending people to other countries into camps. And the media is not talking about it.
On top, Congress can shut this down, but is complicit in letting ~~Hitler~~ Trump do whatever he wants.

1. Tribalism. Us versus them mentality makes it easier to dehumanize and remove perceived outsiders. Denying facts that don’t agree with group’s beliefs. 2. As a society abandoning the collective good. If it didn’t affect me or my family I’m not going to get involved. 3. Media underreporting what’s happening because messaging is controlled by the wealthy who are getting richer and more powerful under current administration.
