MODERATORS
This is literally what 2A supporters have been saying they need to prepare for. They have proven many years ago that they are interested entirely in being the brownshirts.
Rename the ICE to SA, RSHA (Reichssicherheitshauptamt) or NKVD. Leon will approve too.
That's not fascist at all.
Aufmachen!
There's this old song by a British band called The Clash. Something something about Brixton. And the Brits don't even have a second amendment.
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
2017 Democrats: "Trump's expansion of the ICE is creating a personal police force to do his bidding."
2025 Democrats: "The fuck you want me to do about it? I already warned you this would happen."

They’re all riding around in militarized machinery with a roof gunner hatch. Full face coverings and taping over doorbell cameras. Goddamned douche larpers trying to pull a Kristallnacht.
Need to create an app like Watch Duty to social track their movements. Local news is doing a good job so far. For now.
Funny thing is this could be done way more cheaply and humanely.
Have an amnesty. If you're in the country illegally, turn yourself in. You get $250 cash and a free ticket to wherever you came from.
Promise that'll cost less than arresting everyone and jailing them.
It's not about money and humanity though.
It's about punishing "other" people.
