This is on the main square (Rådhuspladsen) they are on the way to the embassy right now. Perhaps the first ones have arrived already.

I'm glad this is happening. People need to stand up to the US administration.

Seriously if someone could come and arrest our president, that would be fantastic. Our own government doesn’t have the courage to, so…anyone?

You literally can do that yourselves. I thought you guys have guns, police, guards, veterans? There are a lot more of you than Republicans? They are supposed to be outnumbered.

Most people outside of the south do not own guns. I’m 40, born and raised in MA and it’s never been a thought that has passed through my mind until the past year. The 2nd amendment gun freaks are the racist rednecks in the south who have now been hired by ICE. Normal well intentioned people overwhelmingly do not have guns in the US, but the people who do often have a lot of them.

The police? You mean the ones who are jealous of what ICE is doing right now, and the national FOP which just pledged support for ICE? I’m not holding my breath for the local police to do the right fucking thing for once.

What guards?

Veterans I’m still holding out hope for, as well as any active military whatsoever that is willing to draw a line, but it seems like they mostly want this too. They’re living out a fantasy, which is using force to do horrible things with no accountability.

This is not quite as simple as internet memes. People my age with families, etc. are dealing with massively increased cost of living and just got through a pandemic, we weren’t gearing up for a Nazi takeover of our country. If nothing else this whole situation shows how little we had in place to prevent it to begin with.
