It is possible, obviously. It might not be legal, but we all know that doesn’t stop the Trump admin.
Republicans have no intention of abiding by the law, listening to voters, or actually governing. With them, it’s all about the racism, cruelty, and lawlessness. Never let them have power again…
This is just more noise and bullshit like demanding to see Obama’s birth cert.
Given the turnout and hype around the election, a riot would ensue if the losers took away citizenship to deprive the winner of their winnings.
Giving them the excuse they crave to put NYC into a full on police state
I’m not sure there are enough people on their side to hold a city like New York.
I would fight for New York and I live in California. The fascists are failing.
They surround NYC and then get surrounded themselves by an oos army of Humans.
Yeah, I’m not saying it will go well. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t try. Trump is most notably a stubborn and stupid person
His handlers aren’t quite as stupid.
Fascists don’t need an excuse to do what they want to do. They’re toddlers. It’s like saying a cat needs an excuse to push a fragile memento off a shelf.
Wrong. They will do whatever they want, sure. But they will use any justification no matter how flimsy. This is less flimsy. And you’re reacting as if I’m saying what new Yorkers should do but I’m not. I’m simply accurately predicting what we all know trump would do in response.
That is not a fight they would win. Admittedly, its a fight everyone would lose. But it would be the end of this coup, and possibly the end of the “United” states.
I don’t think they have a chance of holding just NYC but I think every major US city would suddenly be in open revolt if they did this.
A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,” Representative Andy Ogles from the Republican party said
What the fuck are these cretins on?
Is anyone left from Hitler a “communist” now?
What do you mean “now?” Americans have had this habit of calling anyone whose politics they disapprove of a “communist” or “socialist” for a very long time.
Meanwhile, Trump is over here practicing literal state socialism. The government now owns 10% of Intel.
Both in Fascism and Socialism/Communism the State owns the companies, or at least controls them.
Meanwhile in Neoliberalism the companies (well, Money in general) sits above the State, which is how it differs from Fascism: in both systems common people are at the bottom of the pile and whilst in Fascism a few people control the State which sits above Money, in Neoliberalism a few people control most of the Money which sits above the State (which is supposedly controlled by The People through elections, but since it’s subsidiary to Money that means that what The People control via the vote is only that which Money doesn’t care about)
In Democracy people are supposed to be at the top of the pile, controlling the State through their vote, with the State in turn being above the rest, including Money.
Is anyone left from Hitler a “communist” now?
Literally and without exaggeration, yes, that’s what they truly believe.
Is anyone left from Hitler a “communist” now?
Yes. Unironically that is exactly what they believe
What the fuck are these cretins on?
They know that nobody with a red hat as EVER read or listened to an actual thing Mamdani has ever said. They could say he flew one of the planes on 9/11 and most of the base would believe it.
He DID!? I knew it! Wait until I tell my Facebook groups!
Since he was 9 at the time, he had to use a booster seat. Make sure to include that detail.
A booster seat that ejected him at the last second. Brilliant!
Boomers grew up on anti-communist propaganda. But unlike other people, they didn’t use critical thinking and introspection. Therefore, because they still refuse to learn and grow, it’s still the scariest thing they can imagine…
ICE just needs to scan his face with the Racistron 2000 app and it overrides his birth certificate, haven’t you heard?
Anything is possible in a dictatorship
Now that’s what AI was made for
Nope. Not even this. Still useless crap. MS Paint would’ve been better.
It got his hands too big, but not bad.
This took so long to modify via Gemini but I FTFY, all credit to someone else but it’s a glorious edit.
Now make his tie comically long
No, I don’t think so.
through
jesusignoring the laws anything is possible
Possible? Absolutely.
Likely? I dont think so. Stripping a person of citizenship because they are of the opposing party feels like a line in the sand. How do you defend that? At that point its over for America. Like pack it up and every person who is not a straight white christian should be looking to get the fuck out
Keep in mind we are dealing with the same administration that is throwing a tantrum over being told to feed starving children in their own country.
And starving prisoners presumed guilty before trial…
There’s no opposing party.
They are already abducting and “deporting” US citizens. Your line in the sand has been crossed. Just because they haven’t done it yet to one of your parasocial relationship chosen-ones doesn’t mean it isn’t already happening.
Well, how do they defend the fact that theyre currently kidnapping US citizens? Id say deporting them but most of these US citizens (mind you they never got a trial) just vanish without a trace. Tbh it seems a lot more likely theyre being trafficked.
Don’t they need a functioning government for that?
As shown by SCROTUS recently, no. They will just call it an emergency measure and shove it through.
great news, enough dems caved and the senate passed a funding bill, without any of the demands the dems were making in the beginning.
I hate this timeline…
i saw a meme that those light switches that don’t actually do anything are actually to switch you between timelines. maybe i fucked it all up when i flipped one of those switches back in 2015.
Nope. Unsurprisingly the repressive parts of the government will continue to function no matter what. It’s just the “non essential” things like feeding people and ATC that don’t get funded.
I love how scared they are of him.
Of course it’s possible. We cannot allow it within our society, and it’s certainly illegal to do so. The only thing that stops the people who uphold the law from ignoring the law is if people actually stand up to it, since clearly our separation of powers has failed us.
Everything is possible in authoritorian country like Iran, Saudi Arabia, USA, North Korea, China, Venezuala, Russia.
No. But also, they’ll get away with it.
No they won’t, New York has it’s own political capital in the form of a massive city that centralizes international trade and politics, and a tight-knight community around that culture. This is why his election is such a huge deal.
Whoever in the administration is still talking about this is just babbling nonsense for their base so they can look like they’re big strong tough guys who are fighting the eeeevil brown people communists.
If they actually made a plan to deport the fucking mayor of NEW YORK it would get shot down by every court in the land. They know this, everyone with a brain knows this, so that should tell you who this narrative is being written for.
New York is resilient if nothing else. It is a dirty, grimy, hazardous city and you have to learn to look out for each other if you want to survive. If they come after the Zo at this point they will disturb the entire wasp’s nest. The people supporting the fascists are the same ones who are too scared to set foot in NYC on a nicer day
I say this as a proud New Yorker, but also because fuck fascists
Big city mindset is something else altogether than that of the countryside or even small city: it’s an environment that teaches people to have a very low threshold to endure shit from others, even the “nicest” people, because when you live surrounded by thousands of people 24/7 and have to cross paths with literally tens of thousands every day just by walking on the street, enduring shit from others will quickly end up with you getting swamped by crap.
Further, in my own experience (granted, mainly in European cities), the bigger the city the more the people there have a big city’s very own special kind of grit. You can see this is even how pedestrians deal with traffic - the bigger the city the less people are willing to just wait for the signs to change and the more likely they are to just tell somebody blocking the way of other pedestrians to “either fucking move or fucking get out of the way”.
Of the people I’ve known over the years the only ones with an even lower threshold for taking shit than me were New Yorkers.

It’s the kind of action that in the current environment risks triggering a break-up of the US and it’s pretty much a certainty that if that happens Trumpistan isn’t going have any of the rich parts in it.
Equates to political assassination. No rules of law, get your brown coats on.
Someone should start an active resistance against
NSDAPGOP.
