Yes, we're a constitutional Republic. The Republic part means we don't have a king or a queen. The constitutional part means we are ruled by a constitution. In that constitution it lays out how we are in fact a representative democracy.

I think the play here on their part is they know she didnât do anything wrong, but they want to cause outcry here so they can try to deflect when their actual treason gets prosecuted in two years and point at people being rightfully upset at this to say they shouldnât be sent to prison cause of that.

u/M2KIZzLe 4h ago
I think theyâre floundering and trying to hit the racism button three weeks before a losing election because itâs the only thing they know how to do. Trumpâs famous âtheyâre eating the dogsâ comment was around this time last election, and it gave him a tremendous boost. At the end of the day, all they have to do is point at black people and call them animals, and the base eats it up. That was before gas was like $5-6 per gallon though, so I donât see this strategy panning out the way it did last time.

Just a dry run fellas!
This is exactly what they are going to be doing to the Democratic nominee about a month or two weeks or so before the 2028 election. Especially if he or she is leading in the polls!
Remember, he wanted Joe Biden arrested a couple of weeks before the last election. Back then, Bill Barr actually had enough of an American and a trace of a spine left in him to say no.
Todd Blanche as we all know is a spineless gutless worthless sack of unAmerican fecal matter who has no such restraints to stop him from doing exactly what Trump will want!

u/Every_Farmer_1740 1h ago
Nobodyâs deporting ilhan Omar. Itâs not like Trump is just pushing a magic button to deport her with zero cause. Clearly if the judge signed off on the search warrant, there must be enough evidence to warrant the search and investigation, but sheâs not just going to be suddenly deported out of the blue. Which is ultimately what you Redditors would do to people on the right if left unchecked and given the power to do so.

Yeah, you guys would very quickly devolve into the most racist, authoritarian, fascist dictatorship you swear to hate before collapsing from the inside and tearing yourselves apart as you all claw and hair-pull your way through clinging on to the last little bits of power. Not before establishing death camps to slaughter your political opponents of course. I would honestly love to see a simulation to see what a government looked like ran unchecked by Redditors haha. Just to be clear Iâm a Democrat and not defending the Republican Party nor insinuating that Trump is not a horrible president. Itâs just entertaining seeing how people on Reddit behave and talk because yall are a breed of your own and are not a great representation of liberal / democrats

u/Silentrein 1h ago
Yeah dude, they definitely won't just fucking lie to get her deported like they've been slobbering over themselves to do for close to a decade. But unlike Omar, Musk has actually contributed to the decline of the US and almost certainly broken a million laws. Can't wait to watch y'all pop a blood vessel when he's led away in handcuffs and thrown onto the first plane to South Africa.
And ever accusation is a confession when it comes to you Magats. We know y'all want to denaturalize and deport (or just outright murder) all of us. Let's see who wins in the end đ

I cannot express just how furious this makes me. She was a CHILD. They are clearly going after her for political reasons and that's not a shrug it off of course situation. This is red-level democracy-ending sht. If the regime can do this to political opponents, we are screwed. We really need a greater response. What they do to her they are doing to us all. It's meant to scare people into submission.

The racism Trump has towards Somalia is on a different level than almost everything else. I donât think people realize since most same people I know donât follow every word he says, but he is utterly batshit insane about this particular topic. Iâm genuinely concerned for Omar.
The precedent this will set though is something they really, really do not want to do when the top GOP megadoner is also an immigrant who mightâve had some questionable documentation when he first got here. This is not a can of worms they want to open.

Iâm not defending Trump, but idk why people are so up in arms about this. You Redditors have to rush to defend any Democrat, and if anybody doesnât loudly declare that they are anti Trump then they are just perceived as a racist magat. Iâm pretty sure if the judge signed off on the search warrant then there was atleast enough evidence for them to do this as part of the investigation. Ultimately weâll see what comes up in the search warrant and investigation but we canât just instantly discount everything as purely racist Trump bs, but of course this is Reddit and you people live in a fairy tale make believe world lol

Trump is famous for blowing a lot of smoke.
Remember how he sued 62 to times to stop the 2020 election certification, alleging fraud?
Unfortunately for him, he lost 62 times because he didn't bother to actually have a case or evidence.
He was impeached specifically because he tried to get Zelensky to simply investigate the Biden's. He doesn't care if there's a reason, he just wants the smoke.

See the issue isn't that they're probing her, it's that they're doing it now of all time. This isn't about Ilhan Omar, it's about finding any excuse to disenfranchise voters from voting in another Muslim in congress (Michigan).
100% grab any MAGA senator or rep and you'll find ten times worse of what they're accusing her of doing (a crime that would've been committed when she was A CHILD).

u/Short-Personality398 4h ago
She was born in Somalia in 1982. Her mom died when she was 2. Her dad and grandfather raised her and her 6 siblings. They fled Somalia during the civil war and then spent 4 years in a refugee camp in Kenya before they were granted asylum in the US in 1995-over 30 years ago when she was only 12 years old. It took 5 years from that time for her to become a legal citizen (still a minor) at age 17. This is just as sick as the Obama Birther shit. Witch hunts are back in style
