DOJ Opens Door To Stripping Citizenship Over Politics | It's the latest example of the Trump administration's assault on citizenship.

next up: calling it a "concentration camp" is grounds to have your citizenship revoked

Imagine getting murdered by the regime for saying "alligator auschwitz"
- take it seriously. fascist regimes wont' tolerate criticism, or mockery, or pointing out how fucking evil they are. the direction we're rapidly mimicking is north korea. btw fun fact: it's illegal to call it "north korea" in north korea; it's "democratic people's republic of korea," and south korea isn't called south korea, it's called "puppet regime"
  "that could never happen in america!!!" too many people are still saying
  while it's literally happening
- the year is 2025, a Chinese citizen responds to the Tiananmen Square copypasta with a picture of BB Vance and the Alligator Auschwitz copypasta. The American citizen's internet access is immediately cut off and they are ordered to lay face down outside where the Amazon Prime predator drone can see them to wait for an ICE collection crew.
- Not gonna have to imagine it for long
- I hate to break it to you, that's the MAGAts name for it, so they would love it if you did. And they're selling merch for it.

“If you have one group of people who feels very comfortable that their citizenship is secure, they will feel much more comfortable being politically active,” she said. “And if you have another group of people who worries that if their political activity gets on the wrong side of somebody in power, that their lives and livelihoods might be vulnerable — that is a lesser citizenship. That is a reason why people might step back from political participation.”

And there it is, reduce resistance little by little, then eliminate everyone.

Second amendment looking like the only alternative.
- Too late, the opposition (my fellow Democrats) made sure most of us aren’t armed.
Chilling effect until barren tundra. Got it.

They even made us memorize this one in grade school:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Note that this says nothing about having to be a citizen for this to apply to you, either. And while we're at it, see also this.

Well you see, congress isn't making a law, the executive branch is just doing blatantly illegal shit with impunity, because congress is full of spineless coward sellouts
- They are just imagining they will wield that power someday so they don't want to rock the boat.
  They are all temporarily embarrassed ruling party. Otherwise they would want to remove or restrict these powers. This did not happen overnight either.
  We have known for several decades now the extreme problems with executive overreach. The President should be a figured head only and Congress should increase in size and do its job.
  This is blatant corruption and a dereliction of their duty. It really is disgusting to see how little regard these jokers have for their positions. Electing a literal carnival barker and giving his team of racist rejects the keys to the country is mind bogglingly stupid.
Meanwhile, the plan is to feed everyone who isnt white enough to alligators.
The right of the people would be interpreted to be citizens 100% guaranteed.

Those who gain citizenship through unlawful means and endanger our national security will not maintain the benefits of being an American citizen

Lmao... Benefits? What exactly are those benefits? Not being on the receiving end of a bombing? Not having our country destabilized by a narcissist (we don't even get that benefit anymore). Having healthcare taken away? A secret police force take you away for wrongthink? Lol benefits of being an American....

Bruh what do you mean the best American benefit is living in a 3rd world country while giving your taxes to hardworking billionaires who use it to control you and blowing up brown kids in the Middle East
- Very true! I'm so ungrateful! :(
Only country in the world to tax based on citizenship instead of residency... Being forced to declare taxes as an expat is a hassle. What are these benefits they speak of??? I'd gladly give mine up if it wasn't such a hassle and so expensive to do so.
- Here's a question I have never understood about this. I understand all of this if you are planning on returning to living in the US at some point. But if you've moved to a foreign country with no plans on returning to the US, why are you still paying taxes? What is stopping you from telling the US government to go pound sand?
  I'm not meaning to sound sarcastic. It's a legit question. I don't know how any of this works and the issues surrounding it. Because I would think that if I lived in a foreign country I'd be telling Uncle Sam where he can stick his tax bill. That's kinda the whole point of leaving. What prevents people from doing this, especially if they don't plan to return to the US?

Well, you guys had a good run being a semi normal country. Now you're fucked.

semi normal
Extremely generous thank you for that.
- No worries mate, you had a good run, all things come to an end and all that!. On a serious note I do empathise a bit for the normals among you. But as a recipient of some foreign policy freedom in the 80s by the USS new Jersey on Beirut, I wish I could be selective in whose face the leopards eat under this administration. Unfortunately I can't.

This administration is traitorous and needs to be removed immediately. They are enemies of the American people and the American States themselves.

It’s not just the administration. Every republican, and many democrats in congress anre also supporting this.

Well... if you look a the history of the US you COULD argue that most of its inhabitants are offspring of illegal immigrants, sooo....

But I thought they were only going after people in the country illegally, I thought they were okay with immigration as long as they followed legal processes (sarcasm)

Literally what Stalin did.

Gulags at least had trials. Our system isn't even bothering to do that.
Turns out the sham trials were the excessive part.

So when are you yanks going to actually start shooting each other?

I expect it within the next 12 months. California is going to 3nd up withholding federal income tax and it's going to start a new civil war.
I work from home, and my wife has started looking for work from home or in California so we can move there. We want to be on the correct side of this.
- We're talking about going to California, or perhaps another country, if anyone would take us.
  If elections end, and HitlerPig becomes dictator for life, then the entire west coast will probably break off, and sign an alliance with Canada and Mexico, surrounding 2/3 of America with hostile territory.
MAGAs are the gun owners. Mostly.
First time I heard someone joke that Americans don't shoot up schools
When did we ever stop?
Happens every day already. Just not organized
Soon a critical mass will have nothing left to lose
Whenever the fascists feel it's time to start shooting people
- Why would they when they can just kidnap people off the street with no resistance?

I can't get over just how short sighted MAGA is... They give the president this power like it will never be used against them by the next Democrat president.

You think the democrats would actually do that? They’d make a big deal about how they won’t do that, because they are cowards. The only spine they ever grow is when their corporate owners tell them to. Other than that, they care about nothing but maintaining the status quo.
- Probably not, but one can hope
You think that after the changes made to the voting systems, the SAVE voting act, the firing of people at CISA responsible for election safety and security, and the migration of the voting devices to Starlink (even with orage mussilini and muskrat falling out) that there's ever going to be a Democratic president again? I wish I had your optimism. That's if a state of emergency/war isn't called that halts all elections, which is far more likely to be what happens.
Plus, the Democrats will just play good and "not stoop to the opposition's level", letting them just get creamed and steamrolled again in the following election, even if they do somehow manage to win. The Democrats had a chance to fight facism and they welcomed it with open arms. Without turning over nearly the entirety of the party, why does anyone think anything is ever going to change?
The supreme court gave total immunity to the president while Biden was president. He didn't use it a single time.
- In the realm of republican politics (also known as the fucked supreme court), only republican presidents are given total immunity.
It won't, democrats are giant pussies. They gave Biden a blank check from the supreme court to do official acts and he barely even got Trump prosecuted let alone actually punished.
- To be fair, in doing so, he would have given Republicans something to point to and say, "See?? The democrats are unhinged power abusers!"
  Not that it really makes a difference in the end.
Like how Biden had Trump killed in 2024.
If democrats ever had a candidate willing to whip his balls out and do something aggressively for a change.
Funny thing is. Republicans allow their red-ass state legislatures to gerrymander their districts, while democrats act so high and nobel implementing their "non-partisan" commissions to "draw fair districts".
The house is forever skewed in favor of the right wing unless democrats play dirty and also gerrymander the shit out of those seats.
- Yeah, I hate gerrymandering but the notion that the Democrats should unilaterally disarm is very stupid.
- They tried in New York the last time the maps were redrawn. If Dems really wanted to gerrymander New York, they could likely win every single district.
  The courts shot that one down, and now New York is just heavily favored to Dems. The House would be majority Dems right now if not for that alone.
Given that Democrats still have no idea that the GOP are champion Calvin Ball players, pretty sure it won't

So like anyone not in the party will be excluded from society?

Fed to alligators actually

Traitors, all of them.

I have three nationalities. Born in Argentina and was naturalized at 8 yrs old in the USA when my parents moved. Been living in Canada since 2000 and also a citizen. I am legally bound to declare taxes in the US, even if I never made a penny working there. Revoking citizenship is expensive and requires a lot of paperwork. Fuck you MAGA, fuck you Trump. Take my citizenship away, I'll gladly give it back. I'll save thousands per year not having to deal with your backwards ass-shit citizenship based tax laws.

For most US citizens, losing citizenship means being stateless. Nobody will advocate for us when we're in CECOT
I had PRC Citizenship, then got US citizenship, PRC doesn't do Dual Citizenship, so I lost that.
Idk what the fuck is gonna happen to me. I know like 10 words in Mandarin. I'm not quite fond of the CCP (fucking hate then), so no way they'll even want me, this just mean I'm stateless.
Perhaps being stateless makes it easier for me to drive to Canada and beg for asylum? Go to EU maybe?
I'm gonna be famous as an airport resident like these people

The bottom line is that they want to incarcerate as many people as possible.

What does a corporation do when they are already paying their people as little as possible, and replace as many as they can with AI? Imagine if slavery were legal, and they could force people to work for literally free?

The only legal form of slavery is prison labor, ensconced in the Constitution, so as long as people are in prison, the administration can rent them out to wealthy corporations. The corporations get cheap/free labor, and the government gets to maintain control.

In addition, that's how they will treat people who require any public assistance, like Medicaid or Food Stamps. You will be forced to live in a camp, and work for whoever they tell you to work for. In return, you will get a bed, basic food, and minimal medical care.

Same with homeless people. Put them in a camp, force them to work, and declare the homeless problem solved.

Citizenship? I think you mean Party Membership.

I see her facial masks made of slaughtered-infants' baby fat are working well.

Any americans about to peacefully hit the streets again? It will surely work this time...

Yep. And we'll keep doing it.
- Excellent. Keep showing them how feckless and unthreatening you are.
What do you do in your country?
Nothing.
- Boycotting and building the nations defenses is not nothing, but I get why you think it should be up to another country to come and liberate you; sounds much more comfortable than risking your own way of living.
