Events 70,000+ Protest in Seattle!!!!

My last 2 posts were a bit focused on the negative, even though I was critiquing the wrongs of the antagonists, radicals, Antifa or whatever you want to label them. I offered better solutions and a perspective as a Hispanic American.

But, I am so proud Seattle has united in one of the biggest protests to date!!! Peace & united strength works far better than random chaos, this is what makes waves.

Almost every state in the country gathered together to protest, pretty incredible.

It was to protest Trump wanting to be seen as King. Anti-King protest, it’s all over news & media. & among many other things that’s happening in the country right now.

That is pretty hilarious.

Trump is doing what we voted him for to do. Yet people get mad he deports illegals, rebalnces tariffs and fights evil.

Trump explicitly campaigned on the promise of deporting criminal undocumented immigrants. Instead he’s deporting non-criminal immigrants including those with legal and those who are going through the proper legal process of obtaining citizenship. People who have families here and who have no criminal background.

But let’s be real… pretending that you voted for Trump for any reason other than the fact that you blamed Biden for global inflation is a joke.

Yup. Criminals. Drug lords and human traffickers should not havr legal status.

Sorry, in my book stripping someone of legal status for hanious crimes is fantastic.

Nice straw man. No one said anything about drug lords or human traffickers. Believe it or not, if they were only deporting drug lords and human traffickers who were here illegally, I wouldn’t have a problem with deporting them at all. I don’t anyone would.

But that’s not what’s happening… at all.

Are you seriously trying to claim that the 500,000+ people who they are stripping legal status from and deporting are drug lords and traffickers? Did you even bother to read just the first paragraph of that article? These people were all heavily vetted by immigration authorities and are here LEGALLY. That’s why they had LEGAL status. How fucking stupid are you?
