    It starts with people who didn’t tell the full truth during naturalization… it ends with people whose nose is a bit out of whack.

    Being able to strip citizenship is a terrifying precedent to set. No citizenship, no rights. He’s already trying to end birthright citizenship. Put those two things together, and now he could strip any American of their citizenship.

    What happens when they strip birthright citizenship? Like… Where does that person go?

    This entire concept of deporting people is so fucking stupid. SO FUCKING STUPID.

      Birthright citizenship is more complicated since most people will not have another citizenship, and the UN forbids making people stateless. (Will that stop the U.S., I dunno)

      Naturalized citizens may still have their birth citizenship.

        While November will be a blood bath no matter what, if it is
        (A) anything short of a landmark progressive sweep resulting in a public-mandate supermajority, or this new supermajority fails its mandate to
        (B) squash the virulent fascist takeover swiftly, aggressively, and with maximum prejudice and
        © come out swinging with far-reaching and expeditiously-enforced reformations to every aspect of federal governance…

        Then it’s over. The UN can no longer exist in its current form. It can be reborn in a different country, where the idea can live on, but it will require new leadership and charters for its most influential councils.

        Because the rollout of the new US dictatorship will then continue, abated by nothing short of a massive bloody revolt or civil war.

        Either way the people of the US will have signaled to the rest of the world their commitment to fascism, that it was not a correctable fluke or blip, and that they do in fact yearn for their own and others’ enslavement by the Epstein class.

        UN participation by other nations in this new context would not only be unsafe for delegates, it would make a farce of the ideals it was founded upon, just like the US did.

      They’ll find out when they’re arrested for voter fraud for voting as a non citizen.

      Then, Trump will use this as evidence for how illegal immigrants are stealing elections.

    No reason to not be violent, your constitution literally tells you to do this you cowards, and when your not a citizen of any nation you have no rights and default become ‘outlaws’ (as in the classical term) and have nothing to lose.

      All these years, schoolchildren have been slaughtered by random lunatics with guns and people have insisted they must be allowed to keep being slaughtered because guns were needed just in case of a tyrannical government. I admit, I didn’t believe a tyrannical government could happen in the United States but now it’s here. Now where are all the second amendment nuts?

        Now where are all the second amendment nuts?

        The ones supporting this government? Hiding behind flimsy excuses, at best, but we know it was never more than a pretext.

        The ones intending to actually do anything about it? Hopefully keeping low, organising, training, establishing secure and redundant networks for logistics and communication, preparing strategies and contingencies and sure as hell not announcing their plans on public, unencrypted channels.

        Resistance (whether violent or non-violent) needs to be both well-prepared and well-timed to be effective. They need public sentiment on their side if they’re gonna challenge the state, and support for violent measures is harder to come by. So long as there is hope that democratic elections will change things, that public is unlikely to approve of non-democratic methods.

        I haven’t followed it closely, but I believe some places have already shown such sentiment. Whether / how quickly that support will spread wide enough remains to be seen.

        I hope it doesn’t have to come to violence, but I’ll confess I’m losing that hope as well.

        As pointed out below, most were always MAGA wingnuts going on with that. The only way the populace will fix it is a national shutdown and even that would bring extreme hardship to many.

        The way Gingrich and Ryan were obstructing and the general behaviour of US conservatives? This was only ever going to end one way if people didn’t vote and pay attention. There were a lot of people warning Americans, and they…we…were told to mind our own business, that it was their right not to vote, that it made no difference, that the 2nd would stop it, the institutions would stop it. It’s why I get so annoyed when they expect asylum from a vote result from us or us to step in and fix the issue…which we can’t. They told us to bugger off. Now, ‘we’re all in it together’.

        That said, a lot of their progressives reminded us outsiders that it was the difference between their freedom and our oppressive governments, among other things. We always knew, as did sensible Americans, that going the violent path wasn’t going to happen or wouldn’t succeed and we said as much when it was ever raised.

      Are you ok? Should we call a doctor?

      Edit: Ah, I see what happened: Smaile phantom edited their comment to remove the 6 or so grammar and spelling errors that made the post totally unintelligible (it’s fine, but I actually could not understand what they were saying), which only left my comment, which made it seem like I’m some kind of fascist bot. Great. Wonderful.

      By all means, edit your comments, I do it all the time and often don’t note it when it’s really minor. But when you significantly change what you wrote, good to note that.

      Edit 2: Here’s the original comment from smaile, for context:

      No reason to not be violent, your constetuation literally tells you to do this you cowards, and when your not a citizen of any nation you have no rights a d default become ‘outlaws’ (as in the classical term) and have nothing to lose.

        If you open your history books on page 1938 CE, you’ll find that Polish isn’t white enough.

        But also, yeah, it’s probably not just about race. For all the accusations I could level at Trump, principled racism isn’t among them. He judges people not by the color of their skin, but by the value of their bribes and flatteries.
