The guy’s talking about concentration clamps for migrants as part of his final solution.
Be scared. Vote.
Remember that he and his cult think that birthright citizenship should not be a thing. If he actually got something like this underway, it would like be expanded far beyond “illegals”.
When concentration camps are on the ballot, be prepared to do a little more than vote.
Even if they were willing, physically moving 20 million people is a huge undertaking that the US really does not have the ability to do. Not only would the cost be outrageous, but coordinating it in 50 states would be an infrastructure nightmare. Now imagine if 25% of them flat out refuse. What are we going to do, shoot them? I really don’t think genocide on home turf will go over well.
The most important bit about this isn’t how it’ll be done. It’s to convince people that a certain group of people is the cause of all of their problems.
Republicans would cheer a domestic genocide.
What are we going to do, shoot them?
Yes.
I really don’t think genocide on home turf will go over well.
See above.
What are we going to do, shoot them?
Ya. Probably. It’s Trump and his goon’s wet dream. That’s why this is scary.
All this rhetoric does is brazen his fans.
And fuck my neighbors (cops who support Trump) when they come for my neighbors (I don’t ask questions, but they aren’t white and they’re a thousand times better people than the cop family).
He and his Republican allies know it’s not a workable plan. Which is why they’ll compromise, using more efficient methods of removing these people as well as their political enemies.
Ovens are cheap.
Just think of all the jobs this would create, tho! And if you remove 10% of workers then wages will rise! Just think of it like the construction of the interstate highway system during The Great Depression.
But seriously, can we just put all this fervor and effort into repairing bridges, roads, and railways?
Bring back the WPA.
Wages won’t rise. They’ll just give everyone more work to pick up the slack and blame them for not meeting quota so they don’t have to give raises.
These days public-/cargo transportation is far more available and more efficient than it was in 1940 …
Besides that, Trump has a huge, well armed, following (“militia”) that will start frothing at the mouth if they see a “designated deportee” walking in their area… (For a fun comparison I say go watch the Alabama Top Gear episode from series 9 on YouTube)
And that same following feels it has a Carte Blanche to do whatever as long as they think it supports the orange overlord.
The militia is not huge. It’s tiny. They are fat and unhealthy and untrained.
As for the cost, we have no problem throwing money at humiliating and dehumanizing people. It’s fucking outrageous. There’s plenty of examples where we pay lots more money to hurt people instead of help them.
We will find a way to pay for it.
What are we going to do, shoot them?
Yes, I’m sure that would be something magoos that have been effectively made into death squads would be DELIGHTED to do.
I really don’t think genocide on home turf will go over well.
Again, the magoos have been stroking themselves over this for DECADES. It will be something that makes them rock hard.
They absolutely have the capacity to do this. Some states would resist, and that would limit their success. Many states, however, would not resist and would happily aid the effort.
Explain how then?
I’d assume the goal is too leave the what if open ended so the “officer” can decide.
Listen we could build giant freeways into Mexico. Hell even like a train that would run 24/7. It would tunnel right through the “wall”. How could this plan go wrong? 😂
You know how Trump likes to project? First the whole birth certificate thing, and now this. I’m becoming increasingly convinced he is an illegal immigrant.
He is probably projecting his hatred for his immigrant wives.
Oh look, Trump wants to pull a Sunak now. He sure loves plagiarizing the worst ideas from the worst modern politicians in the worst way possible.
You’ll have to grow and harvest your own food…
He said it’s ok. He only eats Mac Donald’s and he specifically requests his order with no tomatoes, onions and lettuce to reduce the size as to make it fit in his “perfectly normal, not small” hands.
As for the beef, he knows Jared can bring not just peace to the Middle East, but cows to the plebs as well. They are the secret recipe for trump steaks, which the world just wasn’t ready for back then.
This could unironically be his exact thought process.
US birth rate has been below replacement rate for a decade and a half. Immigration is the ONLY thing keeping the machine going.
Of course the xenophobic dope would have xenophobic dopey ideas.
I’m actually less worried about it now that he’s said he has a plan to do it. I haven’t read his plan, but I know the way he handles things (and the things his corporate overlords want) means the opposite will probably happen and it’ll somehow be worse.
With how many racist fucks exist in USA I fear this will only give Trump more momentum and votes.
