Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The thing that worries me the most is that this will work to some capacity.
They aren't shifting their views, policies, or actions though.
Just the 'messaging'.
focus on the deportation of violent criminals
Just as ICE has been doing, right? All those people charging their cars in Minneapolis without the right skin color - all of them were suspected violent criminals when ICE started asking for their paperwork?
How about they stop doing mass deportations?
But these assholes RAN on this and that's what a whole lot of their base voted for. Are they going to pretend this is some other party's fault?
It's a very small chance of messaging from "mass deportations" to "deporting violent criminals". With no changes in the mass deportation of people legally here.
Meanwhile, they’re also buying warehouses to be used as concentration camps. Probably shouldn’t mention that either.
Those are for the future Federal 13th Amendment Slave Laborers.
You don't have to just worry about losing your job to AI or Robotics, you could also lose it to a SLAVE.
Or become a slave, seems just as probable. Why do they need the capacity to detain millions of people if they are supposedly deporting all the criminals.
Exactly. They just need a lot of criminals, so they make things like homelessness a crime. Sure, they detain people, but they have bed to sleep in, a roof over their heads, and meals. In exchange, they have to work off their room and board, and learn basic societal behavior. What kind of a monster can object to that?
And then the unemployment rate gets too high due to AI and automation, and they make unemployment illegal. If you expect to collect unemployment, you'll be expected to work for whomever the government leases you to.
Too much debt? Off to the camps, where you will work off your debts for the government.
Only through the sweat of honest labor can you truly appreciate the Freedom that America offers.
Arbeit Macht Frei.
Somebody should put that over the front gates of the camp.
When slavers have to choose between economic success and maintaining slavery they always have chosen the latter. Make no mistake, any economic benefits will be used to subsidize the establishment and maintainance of violent dominance.
Honestly, fuck the public for ever being ok with any of this to begin with.
I hate everyone so much.
I am not, and never was, ok with this.
Hell, fuck them for allowing trump 2.0.
I thought this was their principled stance?
So… sudden unplanned economy vacations?
I hope states hold their own ICE Nuremberg trials.
