Things like this have happened before…
Ostensibly, the University of Pennsylvania’s leadership refused to submit and cower to the Trump administration’s threats of withholding government grants and other funding if it did not twist to its will.
The Trump regime argued it needed the lists to interview primarily Jewish faculty in documenting supposed antisemitic comments and actions on the campus in order to “protect” Jewish people and organizations. The government claimed that Penn’s resistance had been hyperbolic and radical.
I understand that Donald Trump neither knows about nor cares about history, but even this heartless sociopathic narcissist must know how triggering and insensitive it is to subpoena any institution for its “list of Jews.”
Trump echoed 1936 Germany and the so-called “Nuremberg Laws,” the antisemitic and racist laws the Nazi regime declared as “the Reich Citizenship Law” and “the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor.”
These proclamations codified the systematic persecution of Jews, which culminated in the eventual murder of an estimated six million Jewish people throughout the continent of Europe and elsewhere under the Nazi domain.
If you don’t like being called a Nazi, stop doing Nazi things!
We can be outraged about more than one thing.
What is your basis for saying no one is outraged about this administration targeting leftists? I’ve seen nothing but outrage.
A third of the U.S. thinks that anyone to the left of the most conservative Democrat is a communist, while many centrists normalize fascism on a regular basis.
Source for those stats?
Polls have repeatedly demonstrated that around a third of Americans support Trump’s policy positions on nearly everything; here’s a graph with multiple issues listed to demonstrate (source):
Your statement isn’t about support. You made blanket statements about who thinks what about communism and fascism.
Your brother
The fact that he is allowed to continue to do it.
Except you changing it to “no one” is a strawman, that was not the claim. The claim was “we” which I suppose is meant as the American population preferably a majority of the population.
Why are you acting like an apologist for normalizing the increasing psychopathy of the American society?
Guess what, he will continue to be allowed to do more outrageous things after this one too. Society STILL isn’t sufficiently outraged to stop this. Maybe what will finally end this will be something stupid like he outlawed pizza pockets
Sure, I should’ve stuck to a strict definition of the poorly defined thing that you “suppose” means something that wasn’t at all indicated in the comment. Makes sense.
The comment made two claims:
I said:
Using “we” or “no one” is immaterial in that sentence in this context. It’s not more than just not repeating the same words again and again for readability. No sensible person took that to be an ask for evidence that literally not one single person was outraged. The crux of the question, as written above, is “What evidence supports your claim?” Using your assumed definition, I’d have the same question about both claims instead of just one. My main point that we can be outraged about more than one thing would be unchanged.
I’m not. You’re just failing to think clearly.
I’ve seen a lot of whining and complaining online, and a lot of people desperate to signal that they’re the “good Americans.”
If you were outraged you’d be doing something about it. You’re MUCH too comfortable to be outraged.
And your plan of action is?
To watch MAGA give your country what it clearly deserves and hope that it’s awful enough to be a cautionary example for the rest of us.
Why do you want him to hurt Canada? What did we do?
So you’re a Canadian, asking me, another Canadian, what MY plan of action is to, what, step in and do what Americans are too cowardly to do?
What are you even doing here aside from giving cover to subhuman trash?
I’m asking you because you’re the one who keeps demanding people do something and demeaning everyone you interact with for not doing something, without even asking if they’re American. What are YOU doing about it?
Up until now, it was pretty easy to tell who was American- they were the ones being shitty and belligerent and defensive. Congratulations on being indistinguishable from the clowns.
Who me?
Yes, you.
You sound tough, Captain Discomfort. What you bench bro?
Also, I’m Canadian. Not particularly interested in being a good American. Or any kind, really.
As am I. Why are you giving them a pass on their inaction?
I have no idea what they’re individually doing or not doing.
But in the interest of national unity, I’ll join you in the most Canadian of pastimes: talking shit about Americans.
Fuck you, you American bastards! Fix your dumb country, you fucking hosers.
