Of course it will. Then once they have all the trans people rounded up they’ll target the gays, then the blacks, the mexicans, and so on and so forth until everyone’s in camps that isn’t white.

Republican supporters won’t wake up to this until they start coming after the stupid and obese.

You're not safe even if you're white. If nothing else they'll target people who like the color blue just to keep some "enemy" in their sights.

White people are just further down the list of easy targets. At that point they'll start by hair color and nitpick their way down from there.

Fascism requires an "other" to function. Once one "other" is a destroyed there will always be another one to take it's place.

As long as they don't have any lefty thoughts. Don't forget that the Nazis also put unionists, socialists and communists in camps.

Interesting how that never gets talked about...

You mean the fact that the biggest initial source of support the Nazis got was from the emerging business class who were scared of the rising influence of labor unions? Can't imagine why that gets pushed under the bed.

Not like we had that nearly happen here in the US or anything though. Just don't look into the Business Plot or that many of the Jan 6thers turned out to be small business tyrants...

Just remember that the most dangerous Nazis aren't the skinheads on the corner but the ones on Wall Street.

huge props to people that didnt blow their brains out at first opportunity going into camps

idk how i would really react but death sounds a lot nicer than concentration camps

Same. I dont do very well being hungry....and that would be the least of my worries really.

Working backwards, we could reasonably expect Italian, Irish, and Polish people. Discrimination really isn't about the color of your skin if history is anything to go off of.

Well SCOTUS went ahead and let them have their anti-abortion laws, what else are they going to get their people distracted by? It was always going to be a never ending harassment of "others" leading to the spiral down into hell, SCOTUS just broke the seal for them to do it legally.

they'll never target the stupid, those are the people who will support them no matter what. They're already trying to demonize intelligence and education.

the bar for what counts as stupid enough will continue to lower, though.

True. The dumbification of America has been going on for years.

It’s not about colour anymore, it’s the return of classism.

the return of classism.

The return? It never left.
