Is it possible? Of course it’s possible. America is no longer a country under the rule of law. The fact we haven’t had mass executions, starting from the agent who made the ‘grab’ and continuing up the chain until the finale, ending with the president, for court orders being flagrantly violated for deporting people (and all the other ones as well, but I digress) that a court has said should not be deported, is clear evidence america is done as any sort of functioning democracy.
No. But also, they’ll get away with it.

New York is resilient if nothing else. It is a dirty, grimy, hazardous city and you have to learn to look out for each other if you want to survive. If they come after the Zo at this point they will disturb the entire wasp’s nest. The people supporting the fascists are the same ones who are too scared to set foot in NYC on a nicer day
I say this as a proud New Yorker, but also because fuck fascists

Big city mindset is something else altogether than that of the countryside or even small city: it’s an environment that teaches people to have a very low threshold to endure shit from others, even the “nicest” people, because when you live surrounded by thousands of people 24/7 and have to cross paths with literally tens of thousands every day just by walking on the street, enduring shit from others will quickly end up with you getting swamped by crap.
Further, in my own experience (granted, mainly in European cities), the bigger the city the more the people there have a big city’s very own special kind of grit. You can see this is even how pedestrians deal with traffic - the bigger the city the less people are willing to just wait for the signs to change and the more likely they are to just tell somebody blocking the way of other pedestrians to “either fucking move or fucking get out of the way”.
Of the people I’ve known over the years the only ones with an even lower threshold for taking shit than me were New Yorkers.
It’s the kind of action that in the current environment risks triggering a break-up of the US and it’s pretty much a certainty that if that happens Trumpistan isn’t going have any of the rich parts in it.
Possible? Absolutely.
Likely? I dont think so. Stripping a person of citizenship because they are of the opposing party feels like a line in the sand. How do you defend that? At that point its over for America. Like pack it up and every person who is not a straight white christian should be looking to get the fuck out
There’s no opposing party.
Keep in mind we are dealing with the same administration that is throwing a tantrum over being told to feed starving children in their own country.
And starving prisoners presumed guilty before trial…
Well, how do they defend the fact that theyre currently kidnapping US citizens? Id say deporting them but most of these US citizens (mind you they never got a trial) just vanish without a trace. Tbh it seems a lot more likely theyre being trafficked.
They are already abducting and “deporting” US citizens. Your line in the sand has been crossed. Just because they haven’t done it yet to one of your parasocial relationship chosen-ones doesn’t mean it isn’t already happening.
Republicans have no intention of abiding by the law, listening to voters, or actually governing. With them, it’s all about the racism, cruelty, and lawlessness. Never let them have power again…
Keep in mind, they’re doing this while protecting multiple child rapists within their own party.
I genuinely hope we have mass executions one day for the scumbags taking us for a ride.
dems on first day of getting back into power
we have seen for unity and healing across the isle… parsons all GOP and ICE for their crimes
G.O.P. Gross Old Pedophiles
It is possible, obviously. It might not be legal, but we all know that doesn’t stop the Trump admin.
If the Gestapo kidnaps this man shit is going to hit the fan

Now that’s what AI was made for
Nope. Not even this. Still useless crap. MS Paint would’ve been better.
It got his hands too big, but not bad.
This took so long to modify via Gemini but I FTFY, all credit to someone else but it’s a glorious edit.
Now make his tie comically long
its already like a 4d tie
yeah he buttoned his tie into his fauxniform. it’s already appropriately bad
I didn’t even notice that, amazing!
There is no such thing as good AI slop.
No, I don’t think so.
Republicans are poor losers so this is expected. Truly pathetic people.
Of course it’s possible. We cannot allow it within our society, and it’s certainly illegal to do so. The only thing that stops the people who uphold the law from ignoring the law is if people actually stand up to it, since clearly our separation of powers has failed us.
Given the turnout and hype around the election, a riot would ensue if the losers took away citizenship to deprive the winner of their winnings.
it got both the gop and old GUARD dems(gop-lite) scared. remember HOCHUL said she wont support him, until she was facing re-election, or gillibrand who went on a racist tirade.
Giving them the excuse they crave to put NYC into a full on police state
Fascists don’t need an excuse to do what they want to do. They’re toddlers. It’s like saying a cat needs an excuse to push a fragile memento off a shelf.
Wrong. They will do whatever they want, sure. But they will use any justification no matter how flimsy. This is less flimsy. And you’re reacting as if I’m saying what new Yorkers should do but I’m not. I’m simply accurately predicting what we all know trump would do in response.
I’m not sure there are enough people on their side to hold a city like New York.
I would fight for New York and I live in California. The fascists are failing.
They surround NYC and then get surrounded themselves by an oos army of Humans.
Yeah, I’m not saying it will go well. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t try. Trump is most notably a stubborn and stupid person
arnt stupid people usually stubborn in general. just like how stubborn animal/pets usually are kind of lacking brain cells.
His handlers aren’t quite as stupid.
I don’t think they have a chance of holding just NYC but I think every major US city would suddenly be in open revolt if they did this.
That is not a fight they would win. Admittedly, its a fight everyone would lose. But it would be the end of this coup, and possibly the end of the “United” states.
isnt it sort of a police city, since NYPD is the largest police force in the us.
This is the kind of thing that would lose them support of a lot of the police. It would still be a right wing military based in the city, but right wing ≠ maga
The GOP and Republicans are a terrorist organization
My limited understanding say this is actual true.
This definition is straight from the FBI website.They themselves even said as much.
No. It’s not. Constitutionally anyway. But… considering the Terrorist Party is above all law it seems….
the constitution only matters when the supreme court actually upholds the constitution.
Someone should start an active resistance against
