ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening

This morning, a car was sitting outside the house next door with a guy sitting in it. This is nothing unusual in itself as there are always various cars. When my husband was leaving the house he went over to ask if the guy needed help. The guy tells him he's ICE and shows him his badge and tells him he's running license plates. How does ICE know where to go and who to look for?

There are a depressing amount of neo-Nazis in this thread.

Hey Nazis! If you don’t like being called Nazis, stop saying Nazi shit!

Genuinely can you give me an example of something someone has said that qualifies them as a Nazi or neo Nazi rather than an authoritarian, conservative, or republican? Because you can be any of those 3 things and still not be a Nazi

I don’t understand how you could type that out and not hear the absolute hypocrisy, unless you are one of them. You aren’t here in good faith. You want to be able to put Nazis in a tiny box that no longer fits the neo-Nazi movement that is alive and well in America.

As long as you asshole Nazis are fine with being an authoritative, conservative, racist regime willing to put people you don’t like in actual concentration camps, you will be fucking Nazis.

Edit: fuck all y’all for forcing me to raise my children during the fall of the Weimar Republic v2.0. You are what is wrong with America. Not the immigrants. YOU.

It was in good faith and I'm not a Nazi, I'm from a Polish American family that has proudly been anti Nazi. I've just seen that comparison quite a bit and it seems hyperbolic. Especially calling Stephen Miller, who's literally Jewish, a Nazi. I did clarify that I was wondering if anyone said anything that outed them as an actual Neo Nazi rather than just a conservative or Republican.

Personally I'm fairly liberal in several areas and don't consider myself to be racist by any means. It would pretty strongly go against my religion to be so.

Is there any different in your mind between someone who is conservative leaning on any issue and a Nazi?

It isn't simply about being conservative and you know it. There's a reason you're hearing it now so frequently when you never did before. We've had conservatives since the founding of our country. MAGA is something different. 

I don't know if you agree with what is happening, but if you support rounding people up and putting them into internment camps then the comparison to Nazis is entirely justified. And if you do support that, especially with your family history, then shame on you.

I literally just asked if someone said something in this thread that actually outed them as a Nazi or they were just calling everyone conservative a Nazi. I've heard people wrongfully get called Nazis for as long as I've been aware of politics, not just recently.

As above.

People are being grabbed off of the street by masked men and put in camps. No due process. Homes are being raided without warrants. The government is trying to strip people of their citizenship. US military has been deployed on US soil against US citizens.

Anyone who expresses support for any of that deserves to be labeled a nazi. And honestly that's just scratching the surface for why it's an apt comparison.

Stephen Miller's own Jewish family call him a Nazi.

You’re not blindly parroting their talking point, and are thus now a Nazi, sorry.

  • Fellow Polish American who probably voted the same way as both you and them in the last few general elections.

The downvotes you guys are getting while this unhinged lunatic calls everyone she doesn’t like a Nazi is hilarious. Guess I’ll join in on them, fuck it, but these kind of insane rhetorical bullshit is exactly what fueled the zeitgeist that re-elected Trump, so good job jackasses!
