Of course, Trump will have millions of death row sentences to hand down once they find out how expensive those concentration camps are and how long it will take to get countries to be willing to take all of those millions of people back and decides to come up with a Final Solution.

We already have a well-developed forced labor prison infrastructure, and there will be plenty of farm work to do. The camps will pay for themselves, and enrich big corporations in the process.

Yep, lots of people are going to make lots of money off of this. Just not the brown people working in the fields. I guess this is what the GOP means when talk about the good old days.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Isn't the expense of the camps part of the intent?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the intent is genocidal fascism.

They won't do shit, taking away the strawberry pickers and pool boys isn't on the agenda. They'll spend money on border patrols, ship off some brown people that are easy to catch, trumpet about it in the news and go back to making money off their backs. It was all a dog and pony show.

Can I borrow your crystal ball to look up next week's lotto numbers?

Also, I would really love to listen in on your secret microphones at Mar-a-Lago.

(When someone tells you they're going to commit genocide, maybe the best thing to do is err on the side of caution and believe it.)

Check back in a year from now and tell me how I'm wrong instead of being a prick right now.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Or we could all err on the side of caution, as I said, rather than just assume it won't happen. I'm not sure why you think assuming it won't happen and continuing on as if genocide in America isn't possible when we've already done it multiple times is the best course of action.

I'll just tell you right now, no need to wait.

You are a naive fool
