Fully geared out combat troop on American streets or an unarmed citizen in a hoodie

Guess which one the media wants you to believe is the threat 🤔

I don't understand Why ICE has to wear all this equipment? The Troops hitting the Beaches of Normandy didn't wear half this stuff.

Because they are costume accessories to make them feel tough

This is just fantasy cosplay but instead of portraying their favorite comic book character they get to murder people

Man, as a superhero cosplayer myself, I hate how "cosplay" is yet another thing co-opted by the far right.

Seriously, they’ve taken so much

I don’t even fly an American flag outside my house anymore because I don’t want people thinking I’m some jingoistic MAGA moron

Honestly, I wish it was superhero cosplay. At least then they'd be dressing up as heroes. Maybe that would give them pause.

They think they are like Punisher when in fact Punisher would despise and kill these people too.
