    Under no other president did I fear for the lives of so many Americans.

    At work, we used to talk about dumb shit. Who brought M&Ms or cupcakes. How some random movie ended.

    Now, some of my coworkers are terrified. We had a incident where some masked goons rushed up on a random woman and when we all came out, they ran away.

    Our manager openly said, “None of them are allowed in the building.” And during the worse of it, my manager brought a shotgun.

    Average office workers are arming themselves.

    This is what this orange motherfucker did.

      I’m amazed more people aren’t standing their ground (opening fire) when masked goons jump out of an unmarked car and try to kidnap someone. So much for all that second amendment peacocking eh

          When they raided Chicago ICE specifically stayed away from the really bad parts because they didn’t wanna get shot.

        People just don’t want to be involved, and I’m not going to judge them for that.

        As in, I have a wife and 2 young kids. My purpose in life is to care for and support them. If I’m at work or whatever and some goons show up to abduct someone I don’t know, I’m not going to start blasting and go down in a blaze of glory because of an ideological position.

          If you or your wife/kids were being abducted and sent to the camps, would you be happy knowing everyone else stood by not wanting to get involved?

          I get being scared, but inaction is destroying countless families. If everyone stands together, the risk factor goes down.
