The US has been exporting it's contradictions for a very long time,and is now turning to deporting those that contradict the official line. It's quite clear that the American people are not in support of what is bieng done, and that is most evident in the total lack of support for American troops bieng deployed in any of the conflicts currently happening. Certainly, the whole mess is becoming less tenable with even the supream court getting uncomfortable with people, any people, bieng dissapeared off the street by masked, ununiformed, armed "agents" acting without legal warants. Now that purely political policy is bieng "protected" by deporting those that dissagre, it is a short step for the government to act against anyone, and the next step will be to do as the Britishers are, and strip citizenship from people who oppose the govenments policy, again without warant or charges.



> the American people are not in support of what is being done

Some very much are in support of this, others very much aren't, and whole bunch more (possibly a majority of people) don't even know this is happening.


actual support would be long lines of volunteers at the military recruiting office, right instead of the reality, where the standard for enlistment are bieng lowered, while the percentage of people failing to pass the standards, is riseing. The military is expilisit in stateing that finding high intelligence recruits for officer training is esspecialy challenging. Which brings us to a military reality, ie: it is one thing to defeat an army, but another thing entirely to occupy an enemy country. And now that warefare is entering a new age, with drone's and all other types of remote controlled weapons, and every country is developing these weapons, maintaing an occupation is going to become even more dangerous for those, in the proverbial boots. Betcha it's grim looks at westpoint.


Actual support is willingness to vote for it again and being ready to accept any excuse so that you don't have to vote for the other side.

This is a thing republicans and their voters are 100% ok with as long as it is not democrat picking people. They are a bit scared by possible inflation. But this is a wanted bonus for them.


The USA government position on anything does not represent the people's views on something. The government does not groupthink for the people even though the criminals in the government seem to think so. Rubio and his family will eventually be picked up by ICE if this process were allowed to continue indefinitely. But Rubio and his criminal friends will all still be locked up for a long time. They just haven't realized that their liberty will be limited shortly.
