"There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why."

“There’s no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don’t think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It’s easy to put tents in Florida. But they’re putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why.”

Fears are growing that the offshore U.S. detention facilities at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, are an ominous sign of what President Donald Trump has in store as he further disregards the rule of law and normalizes actions that previously would have been unthinkable or faces immediate, bipartisan opposition in Congress.

    No, but the majority of them won’t care and those that do care won’t do anything to stop it. Even out of those who exist within the leftist little pocket of the internet that is Lemmy only a fraction of them will probably even do the work to even peacefully protest it. We’ve been there and done that with Americans many times before. It’ll be the same old song and dance is my guess.

    Not that I don’t encourage you guys to try. I don’t want to dishearten you or discourage you. In fact I beg you guys to do something meaningful about it. I just don’t think you guys will.

      Boy, for someone who doesn’t want to dishearten or discourage, you sure do a good job of writing a comment that is purpose-built to dishearten and discourage.

        Yeah well Americans have just been a huge let down my whole life so forgive me if I have a hard time getting excited about their ability to stop their country from destroying the world.
