The Ratchet Effect
DEMOCRATS BLOCK MOVEMENT BACK TO THE LEFT / REPUBLICANS TURN EVERYTHING TO THE RIGHT
Many of us are demanding to arrest or at least abolish all of ICE.
You can see posts that say "arrest ICE" or simply "fuck ICE" with very positive reddit vote scores in many cases.
What about arresting ICE in real life?
What if the next Presidential election arrives, and instead of voting Republican or Democrat, I'm going around supporting a candidate who focuses on driving awareness of all the ICE crimes caught on video?
Because when I say "fuck ICE," I don't mean it as shorthand for "fuck Trump." More like shorthand for "fuck all the authorities that abuse their power" or "fuck the military industrial complex " or "fuck the parallels between my country and the Nazi Germany we supposedly defeated."
Or just "fuck having a country where I can be robbed, beaten, or killed by the authorities any day, without consequences."
Parts of this post, placed anywhere with reddit-style votes, might reveal not many Americans are really with me on this.
Forget a President, I wonder if any major city can even elect 1 mayor, that goes 1 day, without making a choice that helps someone in uniform get away with robbing, beating, or killing someone else.

Single issue voters and third party candidates because "both sides bad" is what got us into our current predicament.
Don't be a single issue voter for third party candidates because "both sides bad". Feel free to vote that way in the primaries, get out and campaign for the candidate you think is best, but when they don't make it to round 2, don't throw away your vote - that does nothing for US elections.
Also, fuck ICE, but "my opinion gets lots of upvotes on Reddit" is not a basis of government.
What about a farcical aquatic ceremony?
