65% supports this?
was that a mistype? Vladi?
I still don't understand what you are getting at or if you are trolling.
Do you think I am a paid person outside of the USA? Is that what you are saying?
Actually, I estimated this statistic again and you're right that 65% may be overly high.
I based 65% on the fact that much of the USA is rural and rural USA is predominantly white and against immigration and against the changing racial makeup of the country.
That right there is a good 50 percent of the country, approximately, and nearly all of them feel that way, except for the youngest people in those areas possibly. So that right there would be over 45%. I also think it's a decent guess that 20 percent of people in cities support harsh immigration policies. 55-60% is a better guess. It is a guess, and there may be polls that contradict that statistic, but it's also been shown that many racist people are either less likely to answer polls or simply lie when polled. It is a shockingly large amount of people who support a lot of ICE's cruelty, even if they dislike some aspects of how it is being done. If you can provide a better estimate with reasoning, I'd be interested in reading it.
More than half the country supports ICE? That is such a flawed number I thought you were trolling me. Like seriously?
65% of Americans are fine without due process? If it gets rid of more brown people?
Where is your garbage country Ramesh?
I have dual citizenship with Russia and India, apparently. Where is all this hostility coming from? I'm not someone who elected Trump, especially since I apparently spend half my time in Russia and half in India.
Unfortunately a large part of America is racist and are fine with less due process if it gets rid of brown people. People knew what they were getting when they voted Trump, and the Supreme Court saying brown skin can be used as part of a basis for detaining people to determine if they have legal immigration status is a sad and horrible reality. The loud urban part of America has protested, the quiet rural part has not -- merely indicating they find it distasteful. I hope I am wrong and you are completely right and there is a sweeping change of power, kicking out all the MAGA Republicans.
Also, calling me Ramesh is really not kind to the Indian Americans and Indians who use Lemmy. I think it's less likely Lemmy users are named Vlad, but still, this is actually possibly hurtful to some people. "Garbage country" is also really a hurtful thing to say when Lemmy can be used worldwide.
Your account is only a day old, and at this rate it will never be older than a wee
I wasn't born yesterday
No, I wasn't, nor was I trying to pretend to somehow support MAGA to make it seem like they are more popular than they are. There are changing demographics in the USA but a large number of people are still rural and white. My understanding is most of them want this and they are unhappy with MAGA's economic policies but like the immigration changes and what is happening with ICE.
So you're just nazi scum?
I am guessing you are just shit-faced drunk and this is a reading comprehension issue that will be become clearer later.
To get brown people out?
