    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.

      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.

      No, you’re quite right. Once the camps are built, anyone can be thrown in – and will be. So the point is to get them built under any pretext, and then normalized.

      Anyone wondering about why this country needs an outsize 85-acre, $90 million, military-style training camp for police officers that is equipped with all the latest in training and arms, this is why. You don’t need paramilitary cops in a democratic society – but they’re a must-have in an autocracy.

      This has been in the works for years, long before Trump. There have always been a handful of the ultra rich who want to turn the entire country into the company store. It’s finally coming together, and this is how it’s done.

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

      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!
