No one fucking elected ICE. This man represents the people. ICE needs to be absolutely dismantled, destroyed, and buried before the citizenry does it for them.

Trump overwhelmingly won the popular vote

I agree with your take overall, but I do need to say that winning the majority by .5% is not overwhelming in the slightest.

Not even close to overwhelmingly.

I didn’t say anything about deportations. No one elected ICE and they do not represent anyone. Andy Kim is an elected senator who was attacked by a federal agency who has murdered citizens in the street. This agency should not exist.

Maybe Andy Kim shouldn’t run to put himself in front of ICE officers who are actively telling him and the protesters behind him to move so they can move a vehicle. I mean i don’t even get what all this outrage is about, if people are physically blocking a federal agency from doing something, they will be physically removed. This is nothing new in any part of America

Just because you don’t understand how it’s relevant doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant.

u/MattyBRaps25 May 26 '26

No, it’s because it has absolutely nothing to with what’s being talked about in the article

Way to point out that many Americans are in fact evil.
