The lawmakers that passed laws in recent history of both parties giving the Executive Branch the unilateral power to strip a naturalized citizen of citizenship were short-sighted.
Even though the ones who did vote for that would relish mamdami being stripped of citizenship almost as much as all of the anti-israel protesters they are talking of denaturalizing.
two rightwing parties collaborating to play good cop/bad cop with deportations isn't short-sighted, it's just Western Government working as intended
The good cop actors think so anyway. Bad cop is now playing King of the Hill, the hitler variant.
Somehow they just do not realize that yet, thinking it is all performative and the conservatives will not follow through on fixing elections and Locking up their opponents and critics and Subordinating the media.
Which will happen in the UK as well. And france, italy, spain, germany, the netherlands, etc. Unless they becomes some popular reform option that is not the far right supported by hostile foreign actors like Russia in the United States.
yeah, the executive power stuff is terrifying, but it's not just about who's in charge or which party is playing bad cop. it's about what the whole system is built to do. both sides enable it because they serve capital.
Can I ask what this has to do with Lussy's comment? Do you think we support a US government even if it became so emboldened to strip Mamdani's citizenship instead of opting for a CIA-sponsored assassin?

Wow sure are a lot of disagreeable people on lemmy I see why more do not come on here.
Luckily I welcome your catty response, I laugh at your feeble attempt to pick a fight.
Tagline material.
I'm not sure if you're referring to people in this thread but doesn't seem like anyone particularly disagrees with you, just confused about your intention in saying that in this context. That makes us pathetic tankies?
I'm not here to pick a fight. I'm just curious why you came in this thread to say that. I imagine you don't typically go into a thread and say "the sky is blue" out of nowhere if it was both irrelevant to the discussion topic and you thought everyone would agree with that. You're certainly not obligated to respond to me if you don't want.
You are a tanky that followed me from another thread where I was unaware your group was not a bunch of douchey Americans and was in fact a bunch of tankies from elsewhere.
Which is just pathetic. Hard to see what you guys are losing.
This is the original thread from my perspective. You can verify if you wish that I had not commented at all in the other thread until after I made all of the above comments, and I would be completely unaware of it if Damarcusart hadn't linked it in this one.
P.S. I'm American. This site being international doesn't mean there are no Americans here.
