Hey republicans, this is the world you're creating.

I remember when I was that kid, when I barely understood the world, before I have even leared of the reality of wars, bigotry, government oppression, propaganda.

I remember that 8 year old kid, my previous country facing massive political and economic issues (not that I understood that at the time), that's why my parents left. I was already having trouble fitting in, learning the language was difficult, and being an introvert made that stuggle harder.

I remember my mother kinda just pushed me into doing trick or treating, I didn't wanted to do it... too many people... but I mean, I guess I kinda was fine, free candy lol, at a time when my parents were kinda stuggling. In hindsight, it was a quite nostalgic and pleasant memory, compared to many other memories.

I remember running into classmates and um... that was so awkward for me, because I'm kinda socially awkward.

I remember the candy I hated the most was Reeses and Twizzlers. I know some of y'all would probably disagree, but that's just me lol, everyone's different.

But like... holy shit... imagine if this was the shit that happened back then.

I reflect on 8 year old me, and I think of the immigrant children today, and I see that reflection of my 8 year old self, I see that spirit in these kids.

I... idk how to describe this. But like I think about alt-timeline often, and I could imagine how terrified 8 year old me would be if some adults took me away, I can imagine the same fear if it happend to these kids today, literally tonight in about 12 hours or so.

I was alone once at age 5-7 (forgot the exact age) because I had a fight with my older brother and ran away, and I could've been kidnapped. But I could imagine a timeline if I had been. And it's 10x worse if its people from the government, because kids used to see them as protectors, that belief being shattered at such a young age is gonna cause a lot of developmental issues. Its gonna be hard to even form friendships, I mean I didn't even face much government oppression and I already had such issues from family troubles, imagime being also facing overt government oppression.

Its so sad.

But that's the perfect opportunity to round up all the neighborhood children /s

US is sounding more like a developing country with authoritarian government all the time

Please remove law enforcement from the streets so our children are safe. My town growing up had no police within 30 min drive and we were fine. We dont need them.

Ive never trusted cops, even back when they came to my school as a kid. They had that stranger with candy vibe, like they're being too nice. People are only too nice in the moment if they think their other actions (past, present, or future) would scare people off.

Priests and cops. Never trust em.

ICE is ruining Halloween, the shutdown is ruining Thanksgiving, but Trump has one surefire way to save Christmas.

Starting to realize they’re the baddies?

You cannot reason with animals. They don’t understand the fundamental logic required to arrive at a non-violent peaceful conclusion.

Hell… even animals know this.

If you told them there's a lot of latinx in heaven, they'd raid heaven...

The sickening thing is that they are probably will use this opportunity to abduct children

Also now that I think about it: Trick or treaters dressed as ICE agents (or, fuck it, LEOs in general) should be refused candy.

Is it really a MAGAt Halloween without children being tear gassed and ziptied?

NUREMBERG EM

ICE also asked to go fuck themselves with a rusty rake.

I thought this should be on nottheonion. It actually is.

I have No words left for those pathetic fascist cowards.

More like ice will use fake trickortreaters to get people to open their doors, then rush into the home.

Ugh
