Its not a "Latino problem" anymore.

(76,004 posts)Latinos (some) have turned up as the top of the list in anything and it turns out to be the "persecuted" slot - I say "some" because it's not a monolithic group and the sub-group wingnut-Cuban-exiles got special treatment for immigration because of the BATISTA, CIA, and Red Scare connections, and leap-frogged past, say, Mexican-Americans, becoming a solid component for the Repukes and de facto taking over significant geography and high positions (couple of Senators, presidential candidacies). Meanwhile, the others have stayed largely second-class and out of mind (will surely be corrected).

(1,699 posts)But i wonder when do the American people start fighting back? These orges who are working for Miller and company are not United States military. They are the fat man's private army filled with the ugliest chickenshits this country has spawned. They aren't warriors with ethics and rules of engagement. It's the kkk gone viral. They are really tough when they are tackling unarmed gentle immigrants, 5 on 1. But what would they do if we fought back? Ice cars could be rendered undrivable leaving them with 400 people ready to defend themselves. I know this country has more good people in it than bad. Especially this bad, Fatman bad, Miller sick and Noem evil. Are we really expected to sit back and allow this blatant racism to continue. Is when we defend ourselves when it becomes a civil war? I wonder how we will communicate when they have completely destroyed our ways of communicating. I wonder many things I never thought I would have to think about, as I am sure we all are.
It's not just a Latino problem. This is pure Good against Evil. Fuck them kids indeed. Bullies all of them.

(358 posts)I totally agree with you and I dont think we need to drag our feet any longer. My question is: is anyone out there working on a plan to fight back? How do we organize (and good point about what happens when our ability to communicate is no longer available) ?
Making good trouble is a start but not enough.

(191 posts)Ive known this was coming since the rise of Sarah Palin and then the tea party. Thats why I jumped on a chance to move with my (Canadian) husband to Canada in 2011. I fear for those who cant get out. People thought I was being hyperbolic when I expressed my concerns about where the country was going. I wish I had been.

More on how to produce this graph:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=3539504
I drew the vertical yellow line free-hand -- that's about where January 2025 is, the beginning of tRump's reign
There is also a "Show Table" link below each graph:
Total unemployment rate from January 2025 to August 2025: 4.0% --> 4.3%
White unemployment rate from January 2025 to August 2025: 3.5% --> 3.7%
Black unemployment rate from January 2025 to August 2025: 6.2% --> 7.5%
. . . from 1.8X the white unemployment rate to 2.0X
The white unemployment rate isn't shown on the graph, but it's in the table

As I've said, Testing the waters to see what he can do and get away with.
So yes, Waters is absolutely correct. Glad to know more are coming around to realizing what us "doom sayers" have been warning about all along.
