Moderated Trump announces new concentration camps

[Ziggurat]

I just have no illusions how low a Trump supporter can sink

Oh, you most certainly do have illusions about that.

 

[Belz...]

You think there's an incipient genocide out here in the real world?

Ouch, that joke sure didn't land correctly.

No, I meant that what's in his head is already scary from here (outside); I don't want to delve further.

ETA: There was also a double meaning about Travis being ugly, but it was not the original intent.

 

[Horatius]

No one I know feels it would just be executing criminals.

Not yet, no. But take a look at any of the "Xing while Black" threads to see how many Republican types go out of their way to find after-the-fact justifications for killing people. They won't feel it now, but I'd give good odds on a lot of them feeling it then.

No republican I know supports execution for crimes of this nature.

And no Republican I know "supports" suppressing legitimate voters. But they end up doing exactly that by convincing themselves that the people being suppressed aren't legitimate voters.

If you believe this you live in a sad scary world.

If you don't believe that this is at least possible, you haven't been paying attention. All of the things Squeegee Beckenheim refers to are things that no one would have believed Republicans would have supported, if we'd been speculating about it a few years ago. And yet, here we are.

Oh, you most certainly do have illusions about that.

Really? The scum at those rallies seem pretty excited about Trump's claim that the troops would fire on migrants. It's not a far step.

 

[baron]

I thought they did want to apply through the proper channels but Trump is trying to stop them from doing so?

I don't think Trump has banned applying to enter the US, or stopped all immigration. At the end of the day if someone applies and their application is denied then they can't get in. At no point is there a mandate to riot.

 

[baron]

Looks like someone has been drinking the Kool-Aid.

Not a good look if one wishes to be taken seriously.

You know your link doesn't negate the claim, right?

 

[Belz...]

Oh, you most certainly do have illusions about that.

Although I don't think actual death camps are on the way, and as usual Travis' interpretation of reality is.... er... detached, I wouldn't say it's ridiculous either. I'm sure a lot of people in Germany and Cambodia didn't think it would happen there, either.

 

[Ziggurat]

Ouch, that joke sure didn't land correctly.

No, I meant that what's in his head is already scary from here (outside); I don't want to delve further.

Ah, OK, got it. Say no more.

 

[Belz...]

Say no more.

But I want to!

 

[Ziggurat]

Defending yourself from an attack is not a far step from killing prisoners en masse? Yeah, no. That is, in fact, a very far step.

 

[JoeMorgue]

Will somebody hurry up and finally reach the "Planck" level of demonization of your opponent so Travis will stop starting these obvious bait threads?

Or Republicans take one for the team. Somebody agree with Travis that Trump is going to round people up into camps and the Right is all going to be okay with it so Travis can feel satisfied that his rage is justified.

 

[Belz...]

Hopefully by "attack" you meant throwing large rocks at police officers, not the very act of immigrating to the US.

 

[Ziggurat]

But I want to!

Nudge, nudge.

I don’t believe most of the things Squeegee Beckerheim claims have actually happened.
I also don't think the posts in “while black” threads are about justifications for killing innocent people.

 

[Belz...]

Nudge, nudge.

We're really like an old couple, aren't we?

Addicts don't get satisfied with their addiction. You can never catch the dragon.

 

[Worm]

Care to look at gang murders in L.A.? Most are done by illegals.

Will probably need a separate thread if it actually goes into discussion...

Got a cite for that?

 

[beachnut]

more trump talk, not as smart as "rock talk"

So, looks like we are full speed ahead with creating concentration camps. Trump just announced a new policy of capturing and then not releasing immigrants. ...

Yes, the stable genius talks, and don't forget, trump says 'Consider rocks as rifles'.

 

[eeyore1954]

Really? The scum at those rallies seem pretty excited about Trump's claim that the troops would fire on migrants. It's not a far step.

Did President Trump say that? I don't think so. He did make a ridiculous statement about rock throwing being considered the same as a rifle.

Are you any less hateful towards those who disagree with you than the "scum" at those Trump rallies?

The implication is that if the migrants throw rocks (presumably because their entry into the US will be blocked; and I'm not sure how legal that is) the officers will shoot back.
