    At that point, anyone who post on Lemmy is probably considered a terrorist. No way I’m ever stepping foot in the US ever again, and I live an hour from the border.

      The Orange Turd declaring anti-fascists as terrorist equates to declaring the majority of the population of the world as terrorists… Imbecile… Fascist imbecile…

      Ah, and saying “smart people don’t like me” and the clueless followers clapping… Priceless!

    “Charlie Kirk won’t be remembered as a hero,” one of the comments posted on X read. “He was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash!”

    That’s one of the comments that gets a person deported from the USA? The fascist Republican regime is claiming that such comments celebrate his assassination, which is the same absurd move as calling any sympathy for Palestinians a celebration of Hamas attacks. Charlie Kirk was a far-right white supremacist bigot and provocateur.

      Facts get your visa revoked. And this person didn’t even criticize the president, it was some nobody Nazi.

      This is what a fascist dictatorship looks like.

      Ape together strong.

      Fascists as individuals maybe are weak and brittle. But right now they are united, very strong, and very dangerous and no one can do anything to stop them from just doing what they please.

      The illusion of the U.S. being a free country will hold for a while, to those who wish it is true. That’s the problem

        Not sure if you’re joking, but the constitution applies to everyone on US soil, citizen or otherwise.

          While that is the ideal, it hasn’t been true in practice for a couple decades, at least. Due process was negated by basically saying an incantation during arrest due to the PATRIOT Act (“this crime was an act of terrorism”). Edward Snowden sacrificed his freedom to make everyone aware that the Fourth Amendment was being ignored by the NSA for pretty much anyone who knew someone who wasn’t an American, and they later got rid of even that pretense. Now it’s the First Amendment which has had an asterisk added, noting Americans only, and people still have the audacity to act surprised.

          He is, unfortunately, serious. Take a look at his post history. It’s full of absolutely terrible takes like this. Nearly every single one of his comments have been downvoted, for good reason

          You are 100% correct that the constitution applies to everyone on US soil. I can assure you, he does not care. He probably would like to abolish the constitution (or legally codify it only applying to the “right” people)

            Honestly I think the guy is just RPing Elon Musk. He dives in with an aloof quip, says everyone else is stupid, alludes to knowing something that “should be obvious”, and then ducks out without elaborating further.

            The pattern is so incredibly consistent, im not convinced these aren’t LLM responses.

    My work has flirted with the idea of me visiting sites in the US a couple of times over my career. Previously I was a bit nervous about the idea of having to go through the whole security theatre bullshit, and I didn’t actually need to be there, so I put it off. Now it’s an outright no. It seems genuinely like a dangerous place to travel now. Shit’s wild looking in from the outside, and they still insist on touting themselves as the land of the free.

      Anything involving the fascist regime is dangerous, but most of the country and cities are safe and most people are nice. There are a groups of magats and Ice agents that are worth worrying about however. And if I had the option, I wouldn’t be here.

        I absolutely believe that most people are fine. But those lovely people aren’t running the air ports or immigration control that I would need to pass through to work there.

    I was going to visit Europe in Dec. Trip got cancelled but I was relieved a little because I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be allowed back in the country tho I’m an American, regardless of the law.

    Not that I want to live here anymore, but still.

      Realizing I have better rights in an Eastern European country with a fascist prime minister is pretty wild
