Now. I'm not worried about my white male 73 yo privileged ass getting rounded up in an immigration raid. It's not going to stop at "immigration enforcement". These nazis already are labeling anyone not maga as antifa terrorists. That's me. Other than disagreeing with everything they stand for, my biggest offense against the "state" is an expired library card. Sudan, here I come.
