If these are US citizens, that would be an extreme crime. Even criminals in the US have rights, and sending them beyond US jurisdiction is a clear and obvious violation. The kind that even somebody who supports the administration could not tolerate, if they had even a shred of integrity left.
If that happens, it means that any political opponent is at risk of losing every single right. That is an overwhelming constitutional crisis and I cannot see any ending that is not catastrophic.
- mbfg 2y agoi think you'd be surprised what supporters could tolerate. "It's not happening to me...."
- jfengel 2y agoI would not be surprised. So I think they might be surprised by just how extreme the response is. If their political opponents can be disappeared, they will have nothing to lose.
- archagon 2y agoI truly think the diehard MAGA supporters can't wait to see AOC in chains in El Salvador.

- osiyo 2y agoThis to me is hilarious. I live in the rural south-east and find myself surrounded by the people that cheered this administration on. Sampling the opinions around me, they are about as unhappy with this admin as the left. Yet when I go on the internet, I see these right-wing Trump supporters making arguments in support of stuff like this with the most hollow and rabid nature. Have any of you considered that the US Gov just does whatever it wants and manufactures at least a large percentage of the consent we see in digital media?
- jfengel 2y agoI cannot imagine why they are unhappy. It was abundantly clear that this was what they were going to get. And I'd be willing to bet that if the election were re-run today they'd make the same choice.
- cmurf 2y agoI think they're unhappy Trump isn't exclusively punishing their political enemies. The broad attack on government programs that help everybody is not what they wanted, they know it's going to hurt themselves. Electing a mad man or dictator is not equivalent to 3/4 of the states ratifying an amendment to the Constitution. The Yarvin, Thiel, Musk view of using autogolpe to place a CEO-dictatorship in place of Constitutional order is in progress. But the People haven't consented to that. Proposing that they have does enormously heavy lifting for this patrimonial diarchy movement.
- jfengel 2y agoIt is my belief that when all is said and done, they'll be happy enough that the damage mostly fell on their opponents. That seems to be their top priority; they believe that they'll recover once the opposition is snuffed out. But we'll see. Assuming there is an election next year, they'll have a chance to signal their disapproval. In many cases it will suffice for them to simply stay home. My prediction is that they will vote to affirm this self coup. I would very much like to be proven wrong.
- osiyo 2y agoI love how you idiots skipped right over the most obvious thing that would make Trump voters unhappy: bombing Yemen. Probably because that's too close to the warped goals of those who control this board. Bunch of crooked propagandists.
