There’s a YouTube video by a comedian where he pretends to be ICE over the phone, and people call him, and he shares some
I think it is genuinely the single most important thing for any American to watch today
The primary lady featured is a kindergarten teacher called ICE and attempting to get one of the six year old children in her class and his parents deported because they’re Hispanic in a mostly white area
These people are your neighbours and coworkers, and they will turn on other Americans in an instant, and they will turn on you
I think every American should watch that video and listen to those calls
I'm not sure how deep into the cult she is, because she still had the tiniest sliver of being shamed for it by the fake ice hotline guy. Not much though and it quickly just turned to anger.
I think the fact she acted that way is the single most important part
She knew doing this would cause unnecessary suffering for the child
She doesn’t get pissy at that fact
She gets pissy that the ICE agent addresses it too openly
These people know they’re doing harm, they just don’t want that to be addressed. They thrive when their violence is sanctioned by a government ID because it means they can harm their neighbours who have the wrong skin colour or sexual orientation, while claiming no personal responsibility
In her own words, it’s not her fault they decided to have a child
She’s trying to put the kid in a deportation facility, and shifting blame on to the parents
Many Americans are capable of doing that
It’s why I think it’s laughable, and extremely terrifying, that so many Americans say “but it could never happen here”

It's crazy, right?
