  He’s already won the election. He doesn’t have to keep posturing like this.

  That was never his end goal, and you’re naive to think otherwise.

  As for the rest, you’re missing a key step - to get them all “deported”, first they need to be rounded up, and put in camps (we already past this point a while back), and then since they’re already in camps, they might as well be put to work. For free (another point we’ve past). When they start dying off in big enough numbers for it to affect production, there will be another group marked for “deportation” and rounded up for their turn.

  This isn’t fascism’s first fucking rodeo, and it isn’t only now getting started, it has been in motion for a good while now.

    passed*

    “We passed that point”

    “We’ve passed that point”

    “We’ve gone past that point”

    “We’re past that point”

    The past tense verb of pass is passed. The adjective is past.

    But it might be hard to fix without losing your link, so we’ll give you a pass.

      we’ll give you a pass.

      I don’t need your pass, my point is perfectly clear, and you’ve contributed nothing to the conversation

    Interesting note: The camps started under Obama, certainly continued under trump, and only ramped up once Biden took over. Something tells me that Kamala wasn’t going to buck that trend, it seems to be a bipartisan effort.

  if it doesn’t make sense, change your perspective.

  why would a leader with strong ties to one of the nations strongest enemies want to damage ot destroy the economy and the will of the people?

  Actually serves pretty well if one’s goal were to further destabilise things. People have already been convinced that illegal immigrants are to blame for all economic problems (even though it is easier to prove the extreme opposite through a cursory search on the internet), maybe the point was to get them to the next level, get them angry at something else after everything is done with the false problem.

  I just don’t see Trump actually wanting what’s his version of “best” for the country. I think he’s on a power play, and the country’s just the kindling.

  Maybe I’m talking complete nonsense, but this feels like a… logical escalation. To what, I cannot fathom, although we’ve seen similar movements preclude Totalitarian/Authoritarian regime solidification periods before, where the desperate masses clung to the wrong solution.

    I just want to point out that declaring a state of emergency to “deal with” illegal immigrants will allow the construction of large camps all over the country where undesirables can be ‘concentrated’ for ‘processing’.

    After rounding up illegal immigrants, maybe they’ll invalidate the status of legal immigrants that knowingly employed, illegal immigrants. Or housed illegal immigrants. Or defended illegal immigrants. Of course these people will need to be detained in the same camps while it all gets processed.

    The condition of the camps won’t be great, maybe the detainees can work in specially approved facilities while immigration status gets processed, this will help alleviate the cost of camp maintenance and improve living conditions.

    Maybe the detainees can be rented out to local plantations to subsidize the cost of feeding them.
