I don't know about that.
I see the propaganda works very well, and I think that polling in the EU countries shows that as well.
The UK just had a huge protest with said Billionaire phoning directly in, he's also phoning in at AfD rallies and Bannon and CO are working lockstep with European dictators like Orban.
I see it in the people around me, I have a buddy who despite being surrounded by people who pay attention to news and are very, very worried about Trump & CO still keeps parroting that Kamala was weird and if he was an American he'd still vote for Trump.
He also, because his family is bought into it, fully buys all the Russian propaganda about Ukraine. These are not dumb people, but they are on Facebook and that shit is full of propaganda.
I also have gaming buddies I hang out with, we just had a hang and I came in to the friends apartment only to be greeted by Asmogold's stream on the TV, now, it was something about WOW, but from the rhetoric I see in the group chats I can see that his bullshit is seeping into their consciousness.
This shit is everywhere, it's deliberate and it's being backed by the most powerful attention grabbing algorithms ever conceived, all of the tech bros are fully on board with Fascism and are actively putting their thumbs on the scales.
I don't think that the golden age of Right wing is close to being over, unfortunately.

Illegal immigration shouldn‘t just be an issue for the right wing, there‘s that. It feeds them.
ICE and the like might be harsh in their approach but it‘s what the population wanted. isn‘t it ?
As long as they don‘t get relocated straight to prisons that resemble death camps outside of their country of origin.
Tackling unchecked greed and privilege should be a priority before tackling the broader population though.
Resource consumption by consumer net worth would be a handy graph right now…

It has become apparent that people have not actually learned and internalised what 'right to live', 'human rights', 'rule of law', 'due process', etc., actually mean and how these concepts can be derived from them. For example, government officials should make snap decisions based solely on their surface understanding of the situation and not do any investigations. Any contradicting information is just lies. People do not see how arbitrary these kinds of decisions would be, or how this would be against the values and ideals.
Interestingly, I believe that education has placed a greater emphasis on these values, at least in certain areas. Antibullying programs have become a common occurrence, for example. These programs are not effective for everyone, but some individuals still learn from them quite well. It just becomes a bit weird when children who have been told to be kind and not discriminate against others have to face politics and work life that do not actually follow any of that. This is something that probably gets younger generations to demand that people follow the things they were taught. It probably also causes mental health issues. I would even question whether it would be better for the mental health of future generations to learn morals and ethics that align with how people actually behave. Actions of older generations will not look as bad then. This, however, would likely be detrimental to humanity in general when moral standards are compromised.

So question, where are people being deported to? Like, how come there is no media coverage of people once they've been deported.

So what would the justification be for invading Venezuela? Because it looks like it's becoming more likely.

Drugs, probably. That is what they have been using to blow up boats for a while now.
Those filthy brown people are murdering us with their poison, we have to fight back. They are probably doing this to replace us with lazy communist godless brown people. Or something like that.

Invasion doesn't seem very likely. But air raids and a naval blockade seem like what they're aiming for. Maybe there's plans for some special ops targeted specifically at key infrastructure/people, but I'm not sure sending Delta Force qualifies as an invasion. E: and don't get me wrong, all of the above is plenty fucked up enough without being a full-scale invasion.
And all that said, a "3-day special operation aimed at regime change" does sound like something Trump might've heard about from a close friend :S So who actually knows!

Casual reminder that the embargo on Cuba is basically the US equivalent of Israel starving the people of Gaza.
UNITED NATION (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to condemn the U.S. economic embargo of Cuba for a 33rd year..
The vote was 165-7, with 12 abstentions. Last year, it was 187-2, with “no” votes from the United States and Israel and one abstention. This year, countries including Argentina, Ukraine and Hungary also opposed the measure
“Mr. Waltz, this is the United Nations General Assembly. It is not a Signal chat. Nor is it the House of Representatives,” the Cuban envoy said.
“I am well aware of the location in which we are speaking. And this is also not a communist illegitimate legislature in Havana,” Waltz responded.
Waltz, a former Republican congressman, served as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser earlier this year before unintentionally adding a journalist to a private Signal chat used to discuss sensitive military plans. Waltz has insisted the chat met government cybersecurity standards.
