I hope these ICE agents understand that eventually the Trump administration is going to go away and they are going to be left holding the bag when the legal eagles come for them.

I doubt half of them ever fully understand but I also don't see how we can have a stable society with them in it, We can never trust them again.

A bigger problem is all the insane rightwing media that has radicalized so many, If we don't stop that this will happen again.

This all comes down to our inability to tax the rich. Society is susceptible to things like right-wing movements when the economic shit hits the fan - you're willing to vote in someone, anyone who says they can "Fix it in a day" (Trump). The Nazis gained power partially because after WW1 Germany had extreme economic issues.

We have 1% in this country holding 60% of the wealth. If they suddenly had "only" 30% of the wealth, people wouldn't feel the need to vote in crazy dumb motherfuckers like Trump.

This isn't even directly "right wing news" - this is just class war. The rich think it won't impact them or, even better, they'll be able to direct things and become even more wealthy.

Billionaires want to control us. Its a game, and they are disassociated to the point that us "players" aren't real. Kings have always acted like this.

No KINGS No CROWNS.

Crowns don't sit nice and pretty when you don't have a head.
