> Selectively enforcing only the laws you want to is the key enabler of corruption. Like expanding Presidential immunity specifically for a President with 34 existing felony convictions? Or the admin refusing to even investigate the agent in the Good shooting ( https://www.axios.com/2026/01/14/ice-trump-minneapolis-inves... ) while going after her widow ( https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/us/prosecutors-doj-resign..…

Are you not being selective?

I expect masked ICE agents to be deployed to polls in purple and blue states to "prevent non-citizens from voting" (i.e. to scare minorities away from polls)

Correct, which the administration is also trying to remove.

The Palantro CEO, Alex Karp, is on the record that he approves of what the president is doing in regards to immigration enforcement and the striking of boats in international waters.

And in 2016 he was a Clinton supporter and a self described progressive. Vance was also a never trumper by his own admission. It’s quite clear to me that these elites are just grabbing power by any means necessary. It won’t end after Trump. He’s just providing the cover in the current moment.

When the transition to authoritarianism starts elites have a choice to make.

History show most will choose authoritarianism.

And ppl were worried about China's 1984 style use of Ai, lol. In the end it was greedy software developers that enable this.

This is what happens when one allows oneself to hide in "safe spaces" (like HN) where there's a "no politics" rule enabling people to hide and avoid being confronted with the ramifications of their actions. The entire world runs on technology now. It's all inherently political.

This exactly hits in on the head. You're trying create a forum absent of politics. In fact, you're just enabling one political view over another. This hides social issues and in the end comes back to undermine your pure "technical view". It's not apolitical, it's disassociation from reality.

No politics is a privilege that many do not have.

Why would he object to illegal acts by the US when they are so profitable.
