The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

and then it's very very illegal for you to use force against them.

Well, personally, I would go meekly in such a situation, trusting in my white privilege to sort things out, eventually.

Long term, however, that might prove to be a failing strategy.

We already know:

1. American citizens have already been deported by this administration.

2. The USSC has given a powerful incentive to this administration by claiming, in a shadow docket ruling, that the US has no responsibility for the welfare of people deported to foreign gulags (note: this is exactly why Germany began constructing so many of its death camps outside the geographic borders of Germany).


So the way is being cleared for this administration to deport anyone it wants (citizen or non-citizen) to anywhere it wants, without any regard for their safety or welfare.

And if mass deportation of opponents to this regime become normalized, I might well revisit my decision to “go meekly”.
