Your comment was a pain to read. Am I understanding correctly that you're mostly repeating yourself and ignoring my point about your false dichotomy?

Nobody here is saying we need to invade /c/cutepicsofpuppies with Donald Trump is Bad posts. You're saying "Get Politics off my Lemmy." I'm saying somewhere in the middle is best.

We have a rather extreme voter apathy epidemic combined with the resultant diarchy, where the main objective is not solving problems, but ensuring the top two dogs are always on top followed by winning the next election against the other team.

You wrongfully assert 100% of Americans don't care and don't do anything; it's more that a large enough percentage of Americans don't care and don't do anything such that the powers that be know they can do whatever awful thing they want to do for their donors.

Again, that angle is largely you seeking solutions to a problem that doesn't exist; ICE agents aren't trying to trick people in order to date/befriend them.

As I said, they don't want anything to do with people who hate them.

You're constructed an excellent false dichotomy there, haven't you?

Tons of joke answers and few actual answers, so here's the opinion of an ex-cop:

What's your aim? If it's to identify ICE via speed dating or something to collect a list of local ICE agents, it'll take weeks, months, or even years years to uncover what they do. ICE agents know quite a few people hate them, so they're not going to wear their job on their sleeve. In that line of work it's known as OPSEC. In my personal life, very few people know I was a cop. ICE is even less popular, so they'll be even more tight about it. Best advice on this front is just keep your ears open for claims of being "taxi drivers," "garbage collectors," or other jokes cops often make to describe what they do.

If it's to avoid dating/befriending ICE agents, all you need to do is let it be known that you hate ICE. Obviously your HR is going to come into the fray if you're passing out "FUCK ICE" pamphlets, but feel free to get tattoos, bumper stickers, T-shirts, and whatever else you can get your hands on to express yourself, and I promise you ICE agents will avoid you like the plague, though they won't outwardly state their reasons why.

I don't want to hang out with people who hate me, you don't want to hang out with people who hate you, and ICE agents don't want to hang out with people who hate them. Not only is it unsafe, but it's simply unpleasant.

Which one is the guy who announced we're going to pave over Palestine to open a resort?

Did you think he was going to give the Palestinians American visas and comp their moving fees?

Somehow putting uncomfortable conversations into tiny boxes everyone avoids doesn't feel like the way to stop the rise of the far right.

Enjoy the sand around your head, though.

"No politics please" sounds like a great rule until the results of politics kick down your door and black bag you.

Fighting to remove as many posts as possible on Lemmy when we barely get any posts at all doesn't make sense; ignore the people requesting you take a popular post down for some potential technicality.
