    “LET ME SEE YOUR PAPERS!” Should Latinos, the disabled and lgbtqia people wear a patch yet? Or does that come later?

      The way this admin is speed running fascism I half expect them to tattoo QR codes on them. When called out for being nazis, they’ll push back and say nazis used numbers. This is totally different.

        Everyone will get a QR code tattooed on the forehead. Among other things these codes will be needed to use a credit card. Evangelicals will hail this move as a clear sign of Trump’s godliness.

          The Mark of the Beast, one of the primary signs of the Anti-Christ.

          Revelations 13:

          And he causeth all, both small and great*, rich and poor*, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand*, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

          You can see how a Capitalist would like that part.

          Could Americans spot the Antichrist?

    Papers, please!

    Of course, where does that leave those of us who aren’t citizens and have no intention of becoming citizens?

      Normal was school shootings every week. Normal was Cops militarizing and murdering black and brown people in our streets. Normal was unlimited money flowing into congress form Corporations.

      We can’t go back to normal after this. This has to end in revolution and rebuilding our country. We need to enshrine our real values in the constitution and prevent things like this happening again.

      Why would it? They are fixing elections and the democrats refused and still refuse to stop them, or to be popular.

      How could you possibly think they will be unseated?

          Who is going to stop them? Only a complete collapse will unseat them seemingly, something a ways off, tens of trillions of borrowed dollars later, with overprinting of money to pay off the debts crashing the value of the dollar.

    How do you prove citizenship? A lot of (most?) people don’t even have passports, which is the only federal ID that most people can get that establishes citizenship.

        They’ve already come out and said the Real ID isn’t proof of citizenship, just your identity.

    Papers, Please

    It’s a fantastic single-player game if you need a distraction while the world is destroyed around you and your friends and family are murdered.

    Remember when MAGAts threw hissy fits when you had to have a piece of paper to prove you were vaccinated for the safety of the public? I wonder what they think of this.
