Literally Hitler's playbook and most Americans still don't see it.

still don’t see it

Are actively cheering for it. Until one of the consequences hits them in the face. There is this idea that they're speciaal and bad consequences are only for "the other". Of course, for the ones running this thing, the others are basically anyone not at least a millionaire.

Its not just immigrants. Without due process, they can take anyone without any reason given and send them to the concentration camps.

I swim in deep red waters. They are more than fine with this part. They celebrate raising the debt for exactly this.

They've had this feeling for decades that the debt is a run away train so that the government can pay for stuff they really really don't like. Finally, that run away train is going to do something they really really like.

That it's built to run over all of us is lost on them.

I don't think "harassing" is their end-goal...

Anyone who thinks the US gvmt is building camps, destroying healthcare, destroying education, vilifying local elected leaders, making the legal system toothless etc 'for immigrants' is deluding themselves.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Don’t be daft. It’s not just for immigrants.

israeli-fication of our country is in full swing. next we will have ICE shooting non-white people with impunity like IDF and capturing property of “undesirables”.

Not just immigrants, it's people Trump doesn't like

I'm gonna end up in a camp aren't I

[–] rhvg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not sure, but at least you are working hard every day to pay for bricks of the camp, and bullets in Gaza.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am unemployed actually but yeah 😔

Imagine what a non-fascist president might do if such a thing were allowed.

[–] fosho@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

serious question: aren't deportations better than concentration camps?
