      XPost: alt.politics.republicans, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: j_d@invalid.org              In superhero lore, the good guys wear masks to protect their families from       the reprisals of vengeful, lawless evildoers. And, in the real world, ICE       and Border Patrol agents wear masks for the exact same reason.              Because the sad truth is, there’s an unknown number of extremists who’ll       commit murder for ideological gain: they walk amongst us every day.              And that’s dangerous, because the venomous vitriol against ICE and Border       Patrol agents is unparalleled in modern history. Network comedians are       literally cracking jokes where the punchline is that ICE agents are even       worse than Nazis:                     Libs of TikTok       @libsoftiktok       ·       Follow       Stephen Colbert is now suggesting that it’s an insult to nazis to compare       ICE agents to them because the nazis were better              I have no words              Remember the quaint, lowkey era of 2024, when Donald Trump was “literally       Hitler”? We used to hear it all the time. Ah, those were the days.              We’ve now reached the point where the Trump administration is WORSE than       Hitler!              Which, of course, is a fair and reasonable comparison: Adolf Hitler killed       11 million people in the Holocaust and plunged the world into the       bloodiest, deadliest war in history, and Donald Trump’s border control       agents arrested sex offenders in Minneapolis.              Just like looking in a mirror, isn’t it?              Given this hyper-polarized backdrop, you could understand why ICE and       Border Patrol agents would prefer to keep their identities — and their       families' last names — out of the public domain.              But we also know that our legal system demands certain disclosures in       court documents, and eventually, a media outlet would reveal their names       to the entire world. It was just a question of when.              It happened today, Feb. 1, at 4:10 p.m. on ProPublica — which advertises       itself as “Investigative Journalism in the Public Interest.”              Shortly thereafter, their names were splashed all over the Internet.              The deed is done; the cat is out of the bag. Like Tony Soprano used to       say, “You can’t put the s*** back in the donkey.”              But here’s where it gets interesting (and deliciously ironic). Before       their identities were doxxed, for PR purposes, certain names and       backgrounds were… preferable.              Left-wing activists and/or propagandists want us to connect ICE, Trump,       and Border Patrol to Hitler, white supremacy, Nazi Germany — and if       possible, anything that could even be worse than that. So, if it turned       out the agents’ names were Adolf, Heinrich, or Hermann — that would be       >chef’s kiss<.              (Benito would’ve worked swimmingly, too.)              It’s part and parcel of storytelling: a person’s name is a snapshot of his       soul. It’s his character’s brand; for audiences, it’s the building block       of everything that follows.              So you KNOW the liberals had their fingers crossed: C’mon, give us a good       name! Give us something we can work with — something that communicates to       the American people how we’re protecting the noble immigrant community       from the evil white racists at ICE!              Alas, the names of the two federal immigration agents are not even close       to sounding like Adolf, Heinrich, or Hermann. Instead of screaming white       supremacy, they have more of a... Latin flair.              ¡Ay, caramba!              Over at Reddit, an ultra-left social media site, the reaction was amusing:              Holy s***              -Easy_Money_              JESUS AND RAYMUNDO?! You’re joking.              -cornham              List their home addresses too.              -slackshack              Colored ICE agents, I guess this is a new/modern type of fascism.              -Venal_Apprehension              Uncle Juan ass mfers              -sleepybaker              Sound like Mexican/Latio names. I’ll bet their illegals. Who vetted them?              -kaykatzz              They have social media and friends and family              -QueenMagik              Those are not names I was expecting. But I guess every fascist regime has       collaborators              -Panda331988              They are DEI hires!
