Concentration camps are bad. These people should be tried and shot.

It's a combination of very stupid/uninformed voters, and hardcore fascist voters who don't care how bad their own lives get, as long as immigrants and trans people get gassed. A lot of people think the latter group is a minority, but I actually think it's the other way around. I think most people who voted for Trump are just fascists and the uninformed are maybe 20% max.
Peanut butter isn't sold in Japan?! I'd starve lmao
I said this years ago after J6: if liberals wanted to maintain liberal democracy, they had to literally hang Trump after J6 and the false electors scheme. Instead he faced 0 consequences, so he (and the fascists around him) decided they could just keep trying different coup strategies until they found the one that works. Liberals let them iteratively test coup strategies.
The point of being armed is that you increase the cost of fascist goons carrying out the street level orders of the fascist leader. Do you love freedom enough?
America already had concentration camps in the form of ICE detention camps and prisons. The trials most faced before being sent to prison do not some how make those prisons not concentration camps. Those also have inhumane living conditions, forced labor, dehumanization, brutal violence, isolation from accountability, psychological torture and murder.
El Salvador is certainly worse, but we didn't get here overnight. The american people have been conditioned to accept this over decades by sending millions of people to internal slave labor camps with the thin excuse of "but they had due process!!!1!"
They are definitely not blasting gamma rays to bring down drones lol. "radio" is a specific range of frequencies so "high frequency radio" is just frequencies at the higher end of that specific range.
Gamma rays are insanely dangerous. I'm too lazy to do calculations/research to back this up but I suspect that gamma rays intense enough to reliably drop a drone would also give cancer/radiation poisoning to anyone remotely downrange (and also the operators). Furthermore, I don't think we have a way to produce gamma rays in any high intensity in the lab. matter-antimatter annihilation and fusion bombs are the only way I know of for humans to produce gamma rays. The former can only be done at atomic scale in the lab and the latter is, well, I guess that also destroys drones (and everything else within 100km)
Really hate the milktoast way these articles are written. "critics warning" "ignited alarm online" "backlash has ignited debate" ffs just say the Trump admin announced the end of free speech. That is literally what happened.
Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.
FFS WE'VE BEEN THERE THIS ISN'T VEERING THIS IS FOLLOWING A STRAIGHT LINE ALONG THE PATH WE'VE ALREADY BEEN ON FUCK
The reason Musk wants this might be greed, but it's very stupid if that's his reason. A huge amount of the US's global economic power comes from strong-arming the rest of the world to enforce US patents and copyright, thus funneling trillions of dollars from the rest of the world to the US. Without any patents or copyright there would be improved Chinese Tesla copies on the market within a year.
