To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore Roosevelt

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

They ARE traitors. Russian-backed, Nazi-seig-heil throwing traitors. They aren't joking about wanting to jail liberals. They 100% mean it.
They've been prepped to be fine with it since they started calling "liberalism a mental disorder."
Straight Russian propaganda. The Kremlin wants to stamp out western liberal democracy. MAGA's the push to destroy America

Does that mean they can deport Trump?
it's just yo scare you into complacency, you can say anything in a speech
My gut wants to say that this is maybe intended to distract us from keeping focus on the embarrassments of the Signal debacle and the tanking economy. But my gut also tells me that we can have multiple awful things piling up on each other.

Hello...? ACLU? Journalists? Lawyers?Congresspeople? Senators? It's the 1st Amendment. The very first one! They should be suing this administration and blasting this out every single day. And we all should be calling our representatives every day, marching, and protesting. To start. Our democracy and country is being strangled, and the silence is deafening.
Everyone is suing. They’re ignoring the courts and suing news agencies that are telling the truth
All you have left is to literally fight. No court or paperwork will help you. Proven repeatedly yet you grasp at something that hasn't existed for some time.

In this context, “hate for America” really just means hate for Trump and MAGAs.
We really are deep into dear leader territory with the cabinet spending an hour jerking the president off instead of fixing the economy he drove off a cliff.
emulating russia, almost as if trump is getting his suggestions from putin, if not directly.
The whole party is a cult now. I got banned from the conservative subreddit just for asking - as a conservative myself - what conservative values they think a criminal like him is embodying. What exactly is he conserving? This man has cheated on all of his wives, is a racist, extremely egotistical, etc. He’s closer to the Antichrist than the second coming of Christ. His entire admin is just birds of a feather.

Americans have proved that their “we need guns to stand up to an oppressive government” talk was just that, talk.

The world would be a better place if Stephen Miller never said or wrote another word. He's more hateful of the Constitution than anyone in the country. He's a white supremacist bigot who is scared of his own shadow, and when cornered by his idiocy in an interview the only thing he knows how to do is fake outrage to dodge.
This shit and people like the president, are why we fucking hate this shithole of a country.
Republicans hate America and half of Americans.
They will self deport then?
Yup, America is officially a fascist state. They just admit they are full on Nazis now. Never in my lifetime I thought America will turn into that and here we are. It's fucking wild, like I'm living in some alternate timeline of Wolfenstein The New Colossus. Just wild.
We need to ratchet this up, actually. Not just those who hate America. but those who have publicly declared in the last 12 years that America is anything less than great. Citizen or not, if we have record of you declaring America is not great, I want you gone. Start with the ones who said it loudest and to the biggest crowds.

Hey, I might be able to become a Canadian refugee. Sweet
It is time to open up the bullet box. The conservatives are going to attempt imprisoning or killing any North American who doesn't bend the knee.
There is no hate in 'muh-ri-ca
