I am torn between "This kind of amateur-hour bullshit is why they will not succeed. If you're going to be a properly tyrannical government you have to have your paperwork in order and your threats have to be credible threats, not just random bullshit with every email you can find put into 'BCC'" on one hand, and on the other hand "No one says she won't get her door kicked down and whisked away even though she didn't do anything wrong at all, just because she's one of the class of people who's historically been exempt from it. They definitely will start doing that to citizens at some point, it's just up in the air how soon it will start and how much resistance there will be."
They're doing tyranny by testing the fences. Unlike the raptors in Jurassic Park, though, they have yet to find a spot that's properly electrified.

Gezundheit
They never attack the same place twice.
…… They remember ……..
Guarantee you that the incompetence is on purpose. It wasn't a genocide, it was a few clerical errors, some bad AI, and a couple of lines of bad code from a junior dev. Just a big ol' whoopsie where everyone but the Nazis died.
They've turned Hanlon's Razor into a sword. Weaponized incompetence to maximize plausible deniability.
Why would they care about plausible deniability? You only need that when you might be held responsible for your actions.
When it's not working, it's working.
Hanlon's razor says just the opposite.
Sure, they're not worried about making mistakes because nobody's holding them to account. But, these people have proven time and time again that they're not competent.
Lmao 35% of the country loves this shit, 15% are on the fence whether it's bad or not, and 50% dislike it but a lot of those don't dislike it enough to actually do anything about it.
the incompetence isn't that they made a "clerical" error. it's that they're acting like they're evil geniuses, and really, they're not. They're like thugs, sticking up a donut shop getting nabbed because they started arguing about whether they should steal the bear claws or the lemon filled.
The only reason they get away with it is their boy vinny runs the courts.
Unfortunately, the incompetence doesn't matter when they act on it and no one is willing to hold them accountable.
Like recently how they admittedly deported someone they weren't allowed to and even the supreme court unanimously ruled against the administration, but the administration just shrugged and ignored it, claiming that the court has no authority over what they consider now to be a sovereign El Savador issue.
So if they ship off an inconvenient citizen to El Salvador, they claim it's not their problem because it already happened...
Purposeful incompetence wins.
My wealthy husband didn’t feel like turning in documentation during our divorce, I certainly didn’t have the resources to stop him.
That’s how the legal system has been working. Look at fucking Oklahoma. Freedom of Information Act has been optional, our Open Meetings and Records acts have been optional.
The US’s court system has been being targeted for years. We are fucked.
The Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima knew they'd never win, so their objective became to kill at least 10 enemy soldiers before they die themselves.
If you're going to go, take as many with you as possible.
Exactly. Out-fucking-standing answer, Marine!
How can you stay armed if you're already dead? Why would thugs execute a death sentence against someone who is already dead? Your metaphors need work.
