    Considering that he’s already supporting the murder of thousands of Palestinians including children, not to mention his support for a capitalist system that leans on exploitation and death in the global south, I feel like we’re already at a point where the President can order murder. It’s just that a lot of us USAmericans are extremely racist and don’t see these groups as fellow humans.

      I mean, Obama famously droned a US citizen (and his family) in Yemen. If Congress doesn’t care about the crime, you can do whatever you want.

        They never care, and neither do most US citizens as long as it’s the “right” people being harmed. The fact that there’s more outrage over a US citizen being harmed vs. a non-citizen is a perfect example of how many of us are willing to subscribe to what amounts to a fascist ideology.

        Just look how many US citizens openly support border fascism. It’s appalling. And our president and his party fan those flames to win elections. So does the other party. We merely vote on which flavor of fascism we prefer.
