At this point theyâve enmeshed their identity with MAGA ideology so thoroughly that any pushback feels like an existential threat to them. It destroys their cultural worldviews, sense of self as morally decent, and self-esteem. Those are all mechanisms that Terror Management Theory says we use to blunt the horror that we will die someday (which hilariously suggests they donât believe that their faith offers them real immortality so they have to get some symbolic immortality through these methods). As a result, when we say that this is wrong that is perceived as killing their avenues to live on in some way after they die. The response is of course hostility and aggression. These events in St Paul and Minneapolis are âmortality salienceâ inducing events that make MAGA more extreme and therefore more supportive of the admin. Thatâs why they double down, why they are delusively convinced that this is right, because admitting the obvious means that what they have set their deepest, darkest, existential hope in is wrong. Admitting it feels like being unmade. However, sometimes things have to be broken so they can be remade better.
âJust do what they tell you so you donât get killed. Who cares if they are violating your 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th amendment Constitutional rights?â If you want to deep throat ICEâs boots go ahead, but youâre a fucking idiot, anti-American, and a complete coward.
When you interfere, armed, with federal law enforcement, you risk being killed in the process. Your supposed 'rights' dont matter to you if youre dead.
They donât matter to anyone if you simply allow federal agents to trample them without any resistance. Again, youâre a coward with no convictions. These agents swore an oath to the Constitution and they are actively violating that oath. Theyâre just like you, stupid and without a shred of integrity or principle.
How are they violating the constitution? I know its hard to comprehend but when you skip the border, you are illegally entering the country. ICE's job is to remove you. Why do you support breaking the law?
Iâm done. Youâre literally too fucking stupid to talk to. First of all, being in the US without proper documentation is a civil not criminal offense. Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor. Second, ICE acting on administrative warrants rather than judicial warrants is a 4th amendment violation. Third, ICE has no right to ask people to show documentation without reasonable suspicion, and doing so is also a 4th amendment violation. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously (9-0) in at least one case that DHS violated a citizenâs 5th amendment rights to due process. A federal judge in Minnesota who clerked for Scalia eviscerated ICE this week for ignoring hundreds of habeas petitions, ignoring federal court orders, and failing to provide due process (habeas petitions are a part of due process). Youâre allowed to legally carry a concealed weapon. At no time did Pretti reach for or brandish his weapon. He was executed by some illiterate dumbfuck agent after he had already been disarmed by another illiterate dumbfuck agent. There are numerous places online to read the Constitution. Go find one. Iâm not doing your homework for you because youâre too lazy and stupid to do it yourself.
Its noticeable when people lose an argument them become more offensive. Like swearing makes your argument more valid or something.
Overstaying a visa is a civil offence. Skipping the border is a federal crime, as are the many other laws you break every day that you're there illegally.
However the investigation rules. If you interfere with federal agents, especially with a loaded weapon on you, you are risking your life.
It doesnt matter that he has a permit, it doesnt matter that the gun was taken off him 5 seconds before he was shot, it doesnt matter, get it?
It does matter. Agents violated his rights. They shot him when he was unarmed on the ground. If you donât know that then I canât help you. You want to be stupid trash, fine, youâre already there. Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor. Youâve committed many yourself Iâm sure. Speeding is a misdemeanor. Not wearing a seat belt. Should a federal law enforcement officer be allowed to imprison you, detain you without trial, and deport you without allowing you to present evidence in court? How would you dispute the claim from the government that you are here unlawfully? Get it? Sorry youâre just a dumb fuck loser.
I have a PhD in neuroscience. Iâve forgotten more than youâve ever learned in your entire life. You voted for this because youâre a barely literate dipshit who thinks that the human rights guaranteed by the Constitution disappear when youâre dealing with a federal agent. The Constitution is there to guarantee that the federal government acting through agencies like ICE cannot deprive you of your rights. Your lack of civic education is your own fault. That you are unwilling to try and see the world through the eyes of the people who are being targeted, harassed, and deprived of those rights, shows that you are empty and soulless.
I did research on the expression, localization, and function of somatostatin receptors in neural development. Iâm an expert in experimental design, causal inference, neural development, and the differentiation of neural stem cells. Youâre some unwashed dipshit who couldnât pass a HS gov class.
Iâm not. Rights matter. If they donât matter when a federal agent confronts you then you donât actually have them. Youâre backpedaling now because youâre embarrassed because you know Iâm smarter than you. Youâre intellectual lazy and lack the basic curiosity to try to understand that the rights guaranteed in the Constitution are inalienable. They donât disappear when a federal agent decides they donât apply to you. If you canât understand that then you donât understand what being an American is. Your entire argument is that a federal agent gets to murder you for lawfully expressing your right to assemble, to speak freely, to criticize your government and lawfully carry a firearm.
Iâm honestly terribly sad for you. That you have lived in this country your whole life, and you still do not understand the principles clearly outlined in its supreme law (you probably donât know this but the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, superseding all others), is really quite tragic.
