I use uMatrix (uBlock's big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.

Have you met these people IRL or online? Most of the people I've met online do fall into one of those two buckets, but almost nobody I've met IRL does.
I would assume this is selection bias before attributing it to some other thing. The kinds of circles you run in are going to heavily affect this.
I read a decent rebuttal to the "paradox" of tolerance. To summarize for those that don't know, the idea is that tolerance is a social contract. You tolerate everyone that's behaving according to the contract. Refusing to tolerate someone that has broken the contract isn't a violation of the contract; it's required in order to enforce the contract.
You break the rules, you lose the protections. Simple as.
Sure, but now they can insinuate that China did it intentionally and get people real mad over bullshit to keep them distracted from other things. Maybe also to get their base behind the tariffs against China so they can then turn around and say that the price increases aren't the tariffs but Chinese retaliation against the tariffs.
people who like Chicago deep dish are wrong
[Chicago will remember that]
NASA gives SpaceX fat government paychecks. He doesn't want anything to happen to them.
The 22nd amendment to the US Constitution bars Trump as a viable candidate for the Office of the President. It would require an additional amendment to be possible and there's no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.
The only potential loophole that I can discern is that there's no clear consensus on if Trump would be allowed to run as Vice-President on someone else's ticket. If he can, then, theoretically, he could run for VP and then have the elected President immediately resign, making him the President again.
We've actually discovered a few of these! Though, nothing quite so catastrophic as you might be thinking.
My expectation is that the "mass deportations" will quickly morph into "mass incarceration" will quickly morph into an enslaved workforce.
There will probably be one wave of deportations just to "show we mean business" or something and then the news will move onto the next distraction while the remaining undocumented immigrants are quietly sent back off to do the jobs they were doing only now the business don't have to pay them.
Best I can do is cyber-psychosis and some shit from 10 years ago
And what are the chances that the Democrats have learned their lesson and will pivot to a more progressive candidate for the next election cycle?
Exactly zero. The rich people in the DNC benefit just as much from the conservative agenda as any other rich asshole. Not being in power is completely irrelevant to their interests, as far as I can tell.
Unless and until Donnie makes good on his threats to imprison/murder his political opponents, none of them will give a single fuck that leftist didn't want to vote for them because they weren't left enough.
We don't do that here
Unless you live in California, they kinda do.
