I'm guessing it won't stop with undocumented people. Not when there are homeless. And the LGBT+. And non-Christians. And anyone who isn't white.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 48 points 11 months ago

And anyone who opposes the regime. And anyone who maybe opposes the regime. And anyone who never opposed the regime but got denounced. And so on and so forth. History provides plenty of examples.

Let's not forget we have DNA testing this time around so better hope you don't have "one drop" of degenerate blood.

[-] TechyDad@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Don't forget us Jews. Whenever some wannabe dictator starts talking about the vermin in society, they inevitably wind up attacking Jews.

Oh, and they'll eventually attack Christians as well. They'll decide who is and who isn't Christian enough. Are you Catholic? Sorry, that's not the right form of Christianity. You're Baptist but don't go to church every week? Into the camp you go. You go every week, but your pastor spoke out against Trump? Into the camp for you!

The depressing thing is, you will find a good number of people that will be directly affected by this and who will still vote for Trump, because something something Biden's age.....

[-] capital@lemmy.world 57 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Right now it’s all the rage to threaten not voting for Biden because of his handling of the Israel/Hamas conflict.

Idk guys… I wouldn’t recommend it.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 39 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No doubt some of that is being pushed by people who want Trump to win. I hate feeling like I don’t have a choice, but that’s kind of where we’re at now: an unhinged, legally cornered, autocratic Trump who is already threatening to turn America into a Christo-fascist dictatorship who will lock up his political enemies & immigrants, and will most likely push for out & out genocide in Palestine, OR an elderly Joe Biden, who has been the only semi-moderating force on Israel thus far (obviously he hasn’t gone far enough and have mostly given faint disapproval), but has otherwise been doing an ok-ish job the past few years (despite what the media says). It’s a shitty choice, but IMO too important to throw my vote away over a single issue.

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

If Trump gets on that ballot, and he wins,mark my words: we will never see another ballot in our lives

[-] appel@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago

It's insane to me that people are still treating this like a choice when it obviously is not. And sure, it sucks that it's not, let's try and fix that. But please, for the love of freedom and democracy and common sense and decency, don't make it easier for this fucking fascist Trump to actually get a second term. Because this asshole will not leave office this time around.

Sure we will, in the same way that Russia has ballots.

If you mention Biden being elderly without meaning Trump is basically the same age, or call Biden senile without mentioning that Trump is clearly far worse in that regard, you're carrying water for Trump.

[-] utopianfiat@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

You have a choice, it's just a really, really easy one.

[-] brothershamus@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

Right now it’s all the rage to threaten not voting for Biden because of his handling of the Israel/Hamas conflict.

So I keep reading on the interwebs.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

And the infuriating thing is Trump is only three years younger than Biden!

[-] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

One them has a proven track record of responsible behavior and surround themselves with excellent advisers who use actual facts and reason to make policy decisions. But he's three years older so let's go with the guy who's incoherent, malevolent, craven, and has never seen a success he couldn't turn into a failure.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 7 points 11 months ago

Buttery males!

[-] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Don't forget her emails too...

“This vermin must be destroyed. The Jews are our sworn enemies, and at the end of this year there will not be a Jew left in Germany.” — Hitler, 1939

“We will root out the Communists, Marxists … and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within … our country.” — Trump, yesterday

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

You know, I never really considered the vital nature of the second ammendment until I read that. I won't own weapons personally, and I really dislike the idea of any weapon small enough to be concealed or easily used for self injury.

But I know plenty of "radical left" who own firearms, and I'm willing to bet that Trumps version of gestapo will have a very different outcome if he tries it.

[-] spider@lemmy.nz 5 points 11 months ago

For those who believe in reincarnation, Trump was born the year after Hitler died.

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

He even has a cool new anagram ready: MANGA

[-] grue@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago

The article title misspelled "pogroms" and "concentration camps."

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

And they'll give it some name like "Project 9066" and think they're so clever while the rest of us scream to our uneducated countrymen that yes, they can be both that evil and that obvious.

[-] SocialMediaSettler@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he mentions gas chambers by year's end.

Bet you he gets the Christianity vote again

[-] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

I haven't attended church for a long time but I do remember Jesus being very into persecuting others and generally in favour of cruelty for the sake of it. /s

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago

You're joking, but nowadays there are "Christians" who complain that their pastor teaching them about turning the other cheek and such is "leftist propaganda".

They don't care about Jesus at all, it's all about tribalism.

[-] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 11 months ago

Thats not new, thats been the driving mentality of the church since some poor bastard nailed a list to a church door.

Christianity has always been an evil religion.

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 28 points 11 months ago

This country seemingly goes more and more nuts by the day. How embarrassing.

[-] frustratedphagocytosis@kbin.social 27 points 11 months ago

Who's gonna build and maintain these camps? Have you seen the state of white people lately? We couldn't even get enough non-immigrant labor for food, let alone concentration camps. Plus NIMBY already hits hard on facilities that house undesirable populations, you think conservatives want to dedicate land near their own homes for immigrants? They're already busing and flying them away.

[-] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

All they need to build well is the walls, and all they need to maintain is the locks.

The quality is intentional. They intend to let them die as an example.

E: lot of trump supporters upset to have their plans highlighted, I see

They'd use National Guard.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

You know..... he's gonna piss off the farmers who rely on cheap (practically slave) labor form immigrants.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

I thought he already did that when they fucked up H1Bs.

Problem is those people are very dumb and will vote for him again even if it hurts them personally.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Oh he did.

he's gonna do it again.

Hey everyone knows the US relationship with internment camps...they're for em!

[-] JoJoGAH@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Don't forget rhe scummy leftists, antifa, and all of ilk. This us his round up of his opposition.

[-] TechyDad@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

And, eventually as all these things tend to go, Jews like myself will get rounded up. They already use "Soros" and "globalists" to hide what they are really saying. If they get enough power, they'll stop with the code words and round up all Jews for some imagined global conspiracy against them.

Of course, most Jews are left of center, so many of us will have already been rounded up already.

[-] Marin_Rider@aussie.zone 8 points 11 months ago

you've all seen Children of Men right?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

No need for that. We had history in school. We know how Hitler came to power and how the Nazis started, and we clearly see all the similarities. The GOP does not even try to hide or disguise it anymore.

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. his aren't well laid

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

He says this stuff like he wasn't already president. He had 4 years and didn't deport any more annually than Obama.

[-] nixcamic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

He had 4 years and didn't deport any more annually than Obama.

I like how this statement makes both of them look bad.
