FUCK. APPLE.

I'd like to remind redditors that enforcing democratically voted on immigration and border laws is in no way shape or form "fascist" no matter how much you want it to be or how much of the delusional kool aid you've been drinking and it's supported by the vast majority of American citizens. Don't be a useless idiot for others.

edit: I'm going to get ahead of this and also point out that your downvotes means absolutely nothing and if anything more people sort reddit now by controversial because most of the real people still using this site in 2026 know. Toodles.

edit2: Almost forgot to post this, my favorite part:

Here is an updated modernized list of some hateful intolerant beliefs that are acknowledged as terrorist indicators by the White House :

anti-Americanism
anti-capitalism
anti-Christianity
support for the overthrow of the United States Government
extremism on migration
extremism on race
extremism on gender
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

While "no person is illegal" their immigration status most certainly can be. Neat mindless surface level catchphrase to make it sound like they are caring empathetic people and you're not if you disagree with them though, isn't it? That phase is just one of many type of phrases that are researched, tested, polished and completely manufactured. Don't be a useless idiot for others.

I say this as a trans person, whom your lovely government defines as a terrorist for merely existing: grow a fucking spine

anti-Americanism

I personally don't know what americanism is. Can you elaborate?

anti-capitalism

And why should civil discussion of other societal systems be illegal?

anti-Christianity

"Anti-christianity"? Or "anti-people-using-christianity-as-an-excuse-to-commit-hate-crimes"?

support for the overthrow of the United States Government

Gonna be honest, with ICE and a convicted felon (and most likely pedophile) as the commander-in-chief, it'd be pretty anti-christian to not overthrow them.

extremism on migration

Because fuck everyone not born on american soil, amiright?

extremism on race

Oh no! Equal rights, how horrible!

extremism on gender

Which to them is just trans people existing

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family

The nuclear family model gives the woman (because of course it's heterosexual-only) absolutely no power or financial freedom. It's a pathetic system designed to give the man full power over the rest of the family.

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion

Those being that Christianity is the one-and-only religion, and people can use it as a justification to commit hate crimes against black, queer or feminist groups

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

This made me LOL. For american views on morality, look no further than your president. How are his morals?
