    We are also at the point where they want to label anyone they disagree a terrorist. They’ve already openly stated they want to label transgender people as terrorists.

    I’ll let you put 2 and 2 together

        I know of a country a few years ago that did that with traveling vans, I’m not great with recent history but I’m sure it worked out fine and didn’t end in several million deaths.

      Somehow that doesn’t sound that shocking, given that ever since 2001, they can just ban someone from flying. They revoked Snowden’s passport and that’s why he got stuck in russia. This is already reality.

        I don’t think you understand that this is an amendment to the Passport Act of 1926. So yeah the US could revoke passports before this.

        What is new is that now your passport can be revoked purely on the whims of Marco Rubio. And they can accuse you of being a terrorist for aiding any group that they decide to arbitrarily call a terrorist organization.

        Please read the amendment

    Oh don’t forget the call today to enact a special cold war rule that would allow the government to censor media at will.

      Why wouldn’t it? It’s not as if the “resistance” is doing a thing except for going to parades.

        As opposed to you, who does nothing but actively help the fascists with your constant demoralizing and moralistic bullshit.

        I’m lucky

        I don’t live in 'Murica

        It’s grimly fascinating to watch a country destroy itself in such a short time, all so that some people who already have more than they could ever spend in a lifetime accumulate more money

        The idea is they claim people with dissenting ideologies are terrorists, then revoke their passport. Therefore the logical conclusion is that you want terrorists to be stuck the country.

        Terrorism is a nonsense term term made up to justify murder based on the whims of power.

        Just another small step into fascism but this would be a pretty big one towards the development of a genocide.
