Worried my city is next, under Trump admin.

Post Reply New Topic

They're making their presence known in Portland and Chicago I guess...I am just a little worried about when is it coming to Denver, Colorado. Our freaking Mayor and the Governor are absolutely useless and so yeah I am a little bit worried, when we don't even have the state government doing anything to help the people.

Colorado is not a blue state, at this point Idk what the f**k it is, I just don't understand why the Mayor of Denver is acting against the people(he had tons of city workers laid off including my brother in law laid off to help the state debt closing down freaking homeless shelters and the emergency rent program right before winter like this man is awful wtf.....and our Governer who is a gay man by the way doing f**k all to actually stand up and be a leader. Like come on dude, grow a goddamn backbone or decrease your greed but f**k what happened to representing the people who voted for you. Just a coward who still gets a paycheck and doesn't give a crap about standing up as a leader.

LIke I think most of us would rather have our Governer stand up, even if it means Trump sends his troops here...we don't want him to make nice to Trump but he keeps doing it to 'protect the people' like f**k that giving in wont protect anyone and idk as a gay guy he should undestand this administration is hostile...by just standing aside he's bascially saying he wont even stand up for a community he is part of when it comes to push and shove. Greta Thunberg is braver than he is. Sorry for my rant I am just very angry and disappointed with my state government...and just everything...like what the hell happened, this is not going how I learned our government system is supposed to work in this country. It's facsicm, and I am trying to come to terms with I live in fascism and I have no idea how to fight said fascism. I am not a violent person so like I'd prefer peaceful ways to fight fascism, but like I learned so much like the reason the holocaust happened was good people doing nothing....and I was thinking, why didn't the germans who disagreed do more, or 'when good men do nothing'. So then yeah I think 'well why am I not fighting harder what can I even do'. So idk maybe its not so simple like idk maybe a lot of good people just didn't know what they could do...or they had familes and such and didn't want to put them at risk...like growing up I learned fascism was bad but we didn't really learn how to like fight back it when it rears it's ugly head.

I just hate this, I heard like little babies/toddlers were ripped out of their homes naked in chicacgo ICE raids...like WTF, I get if its decided a family is to be deported that will happen, but is it necessary to brutalize children and their mothers to do that? Like i personally have no issue with immigrants coming in, but if the law says some people need to be deported than ok that is the policy...but it can stil be done humanely. Ripping litle kids in their daipers away from their family is not the way to handle this.

I myself don't want to be a mother and have kids, but I certainly don't like to see kids being mistreated like that...I still care about them and want kids to have a good future, just don't want to be a mother. But yeah like idk how much a family deserves to be deported, that's still not how they should be treated. I do have nephew now but even without having a nephew I'd still care about kids having a future.

The Portland deployment has been blocked.

I haven't heard anything about Denver.

Colorado these days IS a blue state and I do think the regime has its sights set on Denver.

So sick of these idiots, a bunch of fascist bullies.

Colorado is a blue state, Sweetleaf.

Yeah, there is nothing about Denver yet, but I certainly sense a pattern with the targeting of cities in blue states so does make me a little apprehensive. I'd rather not see babies ripped away from their families and out of nearby apartments here to.

Yeah, I know, just doesn't feel like it with how the Denver Mayor and our Governor are acting but I suppose corporate democrats are still democrats. Maybe I am just starting to think blue isn't good enough.

We lack a true social democratic party in the US. We have nothing on par with UK Labour, Sweden's Social Democratic Party, Germany's SDP, etc.

And if we did, people would be too afraid to vote for them, out of fear it would split the Dems and hand elections to the GOP candidates.

Oh okay. I would say most elected democrats in this country are more on the corporate democrat side. Thats just the impression I get but I could be mistaken. I get the impression that the Democrat Party is not as working class as it used to be.

Trump is only targeting blue states and blue cities. If Denver is ran by Republicans and following his propaganda, you won't be invaded. He is only going after cities where the Mayor or state gov aren't allowing him to break our constitution and laws and holding him accountable.

When you do see ICE, you didn't see any illegals nor any immigrants.

How do we liberate the red states from MAGA? In much of the Deep South and the Heartland, Republicans win by large margins (Mark Gordon, governor of Wyoming, won reelection in 2022 with 74% of the vote).

It won't be easy. Many of the best people will simply move from the red states to the blue states.

What about those who don't make enough money to move?

In some of the more progressive cities, the median home price is over $1 million. So if you're seeking to move to NYC or the SF Bay Area, and you didn't:

a) graduate with a PhD in Computer Science
b) have a job secured before graduation
c) graduate during a period of peak economic expansion
d) graduate during a buyer's market

...you're screwed

If you are stuck in a red state and you are different you could mask and hope that that you can survive the stress.
Or you could be yourself and hope that someone won't hurt you for being different.

I wish that Trump would just give it a rest and retire.

I meant trying to get conservatives to, basically, stop being conservative.

I would consider voting Democrat if they went back to being as liberal as JFK.
