Sedona, AZ — Talk about painting yourself into a corner. If anything, the recent special election victory of a Democrat in a deeply red state like Texas should open the eyes of those who can’t see the writing on the wall.
The brutality of the ICE agents and other immigration enforcement agencies is souring the country against Donald Trump’s scorched earth, break-the-doors-down, put-them-all-in-jail mass deportation policy.
The images are undeniable, and even hardened conservative voters are uncomfortable with the inhumanity of the agents when making arrests, the undocumented and American citizens as well.
For those who cherish keeping the government out of our homes and private lives, outside their neighborhoods the presence of armed-to-the-teeth military marching up and down the block and tear-gassing or detaining anyone in sight outside their home is not something they expected when they voted to support Trump’s mass deportation policy.
The images of these aggressive, sloppily uniformed, and masked personnel are starting to meld into memories of storm troopers violently arresting people deemed undesirable like in WWII.
To vote Republican now is almost shameful and a tell that the voter agrees with the heavy-handed enforcement that is galvanizing people across the country to protest and riot.
Sooner or later, the protesters and those who do not condone the brutality of the masked troops are going to realize that, to stop the assaults, they are going to have to focus on bringing out the vote for the mid-term elections.
That’s the trouble many in the Republican Party are beginning to realize but don’t want to talk about too much because that’s not what the president wants to hear. But sooner or later, they are going to have to.
Just think of all these tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, across the country protesting and demonstrating against ICE, bringing the fervor to the voting booth.
How many people do we see out there marching to support ICE and the other enforcement entities?
If one has humanity, it’s hard to support the way ICE is conducting itself. The administration can repeat for the millionth time, “We are going after the criminals, rapists, traffickers, and homegrown terrorists,” but the slogan is wearing thin as we see more-and-more hardworking undocumented people being dragged off along with the criminals, as the agents try to meet their quotas.
The authorities can claim crime is down across the board in the country, but that won’t motivate Republicans to come out and vote for red candidates, not while the images of armed quasi-soldiers beating and gassing anyone standing in the way of their detainments persist.
Republicans had better do something fast to change the minds of the population and the perception that they have no feeling for fellow human beings.
A good place to start is for ICE to focus only on the rapists, murderers, etc., and leave the workers, teachers, hospital staff, day workers, and good, hardworking people alone—and provide them a path to citizenship rather than a plane ticket back to the world they left behind to come here and live the American Dream.

I see you’re still clinging to the hope that our next elections are going to be free and fair under MAGA as they have been up until them? Even after their Cyber Ninja Criminals illegally and unlawfully sequestered our ballots and took them unlawfully out of state for an illegal “analysis”? Even after the DNI MAGA sycophant and Putin sympathizer Tulsi Gabbard oversaw the FBI raid upon the Fulton County election center and seized ballots that have been re-counted, re-viewed and re-litigated in numerous MAGA led lawsuits? Good luck with that Tommy, I like and respect you but I think you’ll find that hoping for a free and fair election under an authoritarian dictatorship like we very much have under King Trump and MAGA is going to bring you some major disappointment come Jan 2029. Just sayin what I see and have seen in authoritarian led countries like our own all over the globe. For us to have a free and fair election we need 3 Co-Equal Branches of government, adherence to the rule of law and our Constitution and checks and balances to oversee them all. We don’t have those things anymore, King Trump and MAGA have either destroyed them with DOGE attacks or have packed them all with brain dead sycophants willing to hand out countries ruins over to Putin because they envy his White Nationalist White Supremacist anti gay anti Muslim anti migrant brutal blood lust way of governance.

She admits MAGA is pure bullshit but still praises the jackass who is responsible for it all. Guess she wasn’t able to grift millions out of her constituents like Trump and the rest of MAGA so she’s going back to stickville Georgia to run her gym and live happily ever after with her boyfriend she dated while married and was out slandering teenage school shooting victims. Don’t worry MTG you will not be forgotten for your ignorance and hate it’s all part of documented history now. Watch out for them Jewish space lasers now ya hear? Be Best!
Considering the known facts about Trump/MAGA interference in our elections and their desire to Nationalize them and unconstitutionally take elections away from States and make them Federally controlled, I’d say Mr. JB is correct here.

Good, Tommy. Thank you.
The gaslighting in this article is superb. Kudos to those dull witted enough to believe this nonsensical rant. Democrat voters only wish this were true but we MAGA proudly voted for this! We want ILLEGALS out of our country. Democrats want complete strangers walking around our streets who pay no taxes and go against our land of law and order. Comparing removing criminals from our streets to storm troopers akin to the 2nd world war is a slap to the memory of those who made the greatest sacrifice. The nerve!
I know this is a mental stretch for many on the left but sneaking into our country or overstaying a visa is a crime. Shocker, right? We fully support ICE and those standing against this beautiful country.
Love it or leave it (bet many on the left can’t afford to self deport as many have no job but plenty of time to protest!) and take the illegals you wouldn’t dare let into your homes with you.
Yes your gaslighting is superbly concocted but very obviously lies and misinformation. Give it up, nobody believes a word anyone in your ridiculous party have to say especially the ridiculous and absurd.
To date – as of 2022, 5 MILLIOON ballotes were mailed to non existant voters in key states. Verified by law suits filed by Juducial Watch. Sorry, court records, look em up. Your fanstansy does not play well. Really boring,
Prove it.

These are FACTS everything you have stated is nothing but BULSHIT, Lies and Gaslighting bent upon sowing doubt in the minds of your fellow feeble minded MAGA sycophants. MAGA will loose Bigly in the Midterms and MAGA out of desperation to keep King Nothing on his imaginary throne will become more and more irrelevant as King Dumb Dumb loses his Tyrannical grip over the his mentally feeble minions. One only need to look at MTG and domestic terrorist Bundy’s 180 on MAGA to read the tea leaves. Let our country be what it was intended to be- A DEMOCRACY not an AUTOCRACY!
And hear I thought that the embarrassment of ICE thugs murdering American protesters exercising their 1st and even a2nd Amendment rights and the Epstein File coverup had silenced the ignorant such as yourself.
There’s only one fantasy here and it’s yours! Trump lost bigly in 2020, MAGA will lose bigly in the midterms and your opinion is based on lies not fact. Keep waving your Pom Pom’s cheerleader! You have to put up a good front despite the fact that your team lost bigly in 2020 and is going to get decimated in the upcoming midterms which will be the death knoll to America’s second and hopefully very last reign of terror over innocent Democratic people. And the best part is that I’m certain laws will be enacted so that racial fascist haters never ever see a political office ever again, especially the convicted insurrectionist Putin loving haters who currently are and belong in prison for life!
You got your disinformation from MAGAWATCH. That’s not stats, facts nor relevant to how our states (remember MAGA States First now) have freely and fairly run state’s elections since the days of marble jars in the Jim Crow era which is where you morons want to go back to out of hate and ignorance! Judicial Watch is a pro MAGA anti Democracy for profit organization comprised of racist old fart white judges and prosecutors who have a Hitler like agenda to aid in the destruction of our country just like those who throw bigly money at racist hateful criminals.
