ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.

Not as much fear as the people whose doors your busting down without a warrant.

    History is filled with these moments lol. Whatever entity that is writing our story would benefit from learning wtf subtlety is.

      That’s absolutely true. If 2 decades ago anyone had written a story or movie about a president acting like Trump, it would have been considered too unrealistic to publish.

        Funny you should say that when Idiocracy came out exactly 20 years ago, though even then the movie was being optimistic by setting the narrative 500 years in the future.

          The movie was satirical hyperbole, though. If it was played as genuine, not in a comedy, it would ruin the film.

      Except that we’re being smashed over the head with the point and still not getting it. It’s honestly insane how obvious everything is and we as a species are still too stupid to see it all.
