    It’s based on entitlement. “That would never happen to me because I’m a good person”

      It shouldn’t really be an “entitlement” mindset to think that you shouldn’t go to prison if you didn’t do anything wrong.

        It shouldn’t but in America you can be detained for less. And my ethnicity makes me worried if I was ever detained so yeah, Americans need to realize the reality shift in this fascist landscape. It might not affect you but MANY of us have cause for concern.

        It’s completely and utterly anti-american to be forced to have that mindset.

        Whoever would cause that mindset is the active enemy of every single citizen.

          Trump couldn’t even answer a reporter’s basic questions about the Declaration of Independence. He certainly wouldn’t understand the concept that God himself endowed ALL people with Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - three things that MAGAs despise.

      The problem is that the determination that you are a good person or not, is being made by very bad people. Your characterization of yourself as “good” is irrelevant.
