        They have hate, yeah. But they don’t have armored vehicles—unless you mean the police—they have ford trucks with thin metal walls and diabetes.

          I’m sorry, I must be living in a schziophrenic delusion and the U.S. federal govt hasn’t been slip and sliding into the deep end of the fascism pool and definitely hasn’t been dumping resources and manpower (MAGA, let’s be honest with each other - ICE is MAGA) into ICE. Thank God, that would be horrifying!

            I think we may be talking about two different things. My neighbor, with the Trump flag and all his guns, he’s not gonna do goddamn shit. That’s who I’m talking about.

              I’m talking about my cousin. He runs a grocery store (he claims he owns it, but really he leases it through Grocery Outlet).

              I know some of the things he’s done. I know many of the things he’s said. They are terrifying.

                I had no idea leasing a grocery store was a thing. They won’t let us own anything lol.

                If you know some of the things he has done, I assume he has been punished for those things—assuming they are crimes?

                  Yeah it’s bizarre, I’m not sure if that’s the correct verbage for it but the situation is effectively leasing. He does not own the store despite being the name and face on the sign saying ‘store owner’.

                  He’s got connections, cops love him. My friend has video of him kicking the ever loving shit out of a homeless guy a few years ago. He also helped him delete it. I’ve told him to turn him in but he’s afraid that something will go wrong and it’ll turn back around on him.
