    I’ll play along, and pretend that you’re representing yourself in a reasonably accurate way:

    It’s time for you to pull your head out of your ass, give it a fucking shake, and do something.

    Your career and job security count for sweet fuck all, when ICE could snatch you at any instant, and ship you to El Salvador.

    Maybe this slipped past you, but you’d be well outside of US airspace before you started blubbering to the flight crew about due process.

    But go on.

    Tell me about your job security concerns.

    Do something! What the fuck are you waiting for?

      You claimed it was not effecting me personally. I gave you an example of how it was. Believe it or not having an income, housing, food to eat, and health insurance is actually pretty god damn important to me.

      I made no more comments on my opinions of this government. I’m equally as disgusted by those things. What would you have me do? I go to my local protests regularly, but that is only so effective if at all. If you’re going to suggest I personally go out and start an armed rebellion, don’t. Neither you or I will be doing that, but you are more than welcome to prove me wrong.

      We are almost certainly on the same side here. I’m just fearful these people will not face justice due to our country’s historic precedence. I wish I could have your confidence that they will face appropriate punishment, but I’m skeptical and doubt the American people. So maybe instead of trying to make me into a strawman or attach false claims onto my comments, just take them for what they are and go find an argument worth arguing.
