It's ultimately rooted in the worst form of bigotry and racism that assumes others are so much inferior to your own superiority. A superiority that you deep down know you're not worthy of. It's a sick self-loathing and hatred while holding others in contempt.

Freud would have a field day with those loons.

Reports the Minneapolis has finally moved in and started clearing them out.

In one of the "protest porn" videos I watched (I think on X) the white woman was telling the fed LEO (he was in a vehicle) that the officer was "a traitor to his race" and I was baffled a bit but then I thought about it and remembered that many of the Border Patrol and even a lot of ICE are Hispanic background (and many are veterans). So, this white Minnesota woman was berating this "non-white" officer for doing his job when she knows nothing about him except he was a "race traitor". I find that rather sick.

Like I said before, from all the videos I've seen, 90% of the protestors in Minnesota are white.

In the last press conference I saw out of Minnesota, with ICE, every ICE Officer was Hispanic. 24% of ICE agents are Hispanic and over 50% of the US Border Patrol is Hispanic. Hispanics only make up 20% of the US population. Hispanic Americans are more adversely effected by illegal immigration than any other group in the US.

Probably my first post here in 15 years but here it goes.
This thread is absolutely astonishing. (Or possibly way too expected from this group)
Yep I am calling a lot of you out on this BS!
Y'all can't get enough of licking the boots as long as it appears to be your side that is the one doing the stomping.
Ice is about to get another 60 Billion in funding.
Do you really think that they're going to stop after "illegal immigrants"?
No they are using your gullibility to endorse the building of a much, much bigger boot.
I know a lot of you are excited about the idea of using it to remove the libs too, and I know that some will chear it on as it happens (your doing it in this thread)
But maybe ask yourself, with how easily y'all dismiss a life lost as long as an authority figure tells you "they were a bad person doing a bad thing", how quickly that boot could turn against any one of us.

Yes I'm scolding a bit but I am afraid for my country and my own personal safety and life in it.
Try to put your hate away (turn off the fox news) and actually try to learn the reasons why "those people" are so upset about so many things.
20 years ago I thought that I had found a group that would let me join in their efforts (the Minnesota trappers association and trapperman) and found out very quickly that I had to keep my views to myself or get dog piled on.
I don't think my posts are still here from 20 years ago but this group really did a lot to make sure that I would feel inferior and worthless every time I had something to say that wasn't fully right wing.
Y'all can sit in your trap sheds watching Fox News and pat each other on the back for owning the libs as this nation continues to be sold out to the billionaires if you want to.

Meanwhile the rest of us are going out to try and save the remnants of this country from the billionaires,
FOR ALL of US.

If you haven't gone all red in the face and started looking into who I am so you can come destroy me, I would like to invite you to read some of the protest signs that I personally have been out there with.
See if you can pick up what I'm throwing down.

First they came for them folks,
Then they came for those folks,
Now they come for these folks,
Next they'll come for us folks.
How long before they come
For You and Your FOLKS?!?

PS Warrior, and a lot of others here too:
you are a pot stirring drama queen that needs to get offline and... I don't know what, but give it a break already. You apparently have a big issue with your choice of information sources and your ability to determine what is reality and what is propaganda. Please learn the term "useful idiot" and then look in the mirror.

PPS Paul Dobbins:
you have been fostering a hate group within this trapper group that is cheerleading the downfall of this country.
Exhibit A: Why does the (excuse me I'm an idiot) cover swears and not straight out racist terminology? This is your choice, you have the power to not allow it and choose not to do that.

Not really sure why I bothered to type all this out, I'm sure it'll just get zapped.
Who knows maybe it can reach some of you.
And some of you don't need to be reached, I thank you for that. It's nice to know that not every outdoorsman has lost their head up the orange billionaire a hole.

Probably my last post too, can't have people scratching at the veneer of the narrative so I'll likely get served a life long vacation from Paul. Whatever. Your not a very nice group anymore anyway.

So you made yourself a victim in the end.
Typical of a Tampon Tim follower, now go back out in the cold and hold that sign up high so you feel better

I really do suggest some of you go see for yourself what is happening in the Twin Cities.
Us Minnesotans ARE being TERRORIZED by the federal government. The VAST majority of protesters are peaceful. And the ones that aren't were, until encountering poorly trained agents with orders to agitate with "absolute immunity" (JD's words, but certainly not true). We're being extorted for the voting roster, as evidenced by Bondi's Saturday night letter. Most of these so called "radical riotous protestors" are just filming from a more than safe distance and are charged upon for doing so by masked armed angry agents. They're filming the all too frequent civil rights violations against US citizens who happened to find themselves in the general area of ICE "operations" while going about their day. Your news sources are hiding it from you. This is a very specific plan that is playing out and I hope that enough of you can wake up to this travesty while we still have a country.

PS it's not the libs you're looking for, it's the billionaires. Including the orange one. He's not helping any of us. You just like that he hates like you do. Stop filling in pools!

Thank you, I will go out and hold my sign high as I fight for the rights of ALL the people in this country citizen and non citizens alike. I will also continue to attend meetings and campaign rallies. I will also continue to remember that history has been here before.

But I WILL NOT LICK BOOTS!

Oh and I don't "follow" politicians like a lost puppy looking for an orange hate treat.
I do follow harm reduction policies though.
