Are they going to put Mexican Americans in internment camps next?
gabe [he/him] ( @gabe@literature.cafe ) 34•11 months agoYes. That is 100% the end point of this.

Silverseren ( @Silverseren@kbin.social ) 20•11 months agoNot to mention deported American citizens fairly frequently, since they assume any brown person who doesn’t have their license on them at the moment is illegally in the country.

German Jews’ citizenship didn’t protect them from the Nazis, who simply revoked their citizenship and then murdered them.

BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) 39•11 months agoPosing as a human rights lawyer and illegally aiding in the torture of POWs at Guantanamo is the best way of forming a valid opinion on Iraq!

PersnickityPenguin ( @PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee ) 5•11 months agoHe worked there for sure, but we don’t know all the details of what he did there. He probably just advised the actual torturers that what they were doing was legal.

style99 ( @style99@kbin.social ) 42•11 months agoBefore anyone calls this hyperbole:
Ron DeSantis recently suggested that he would be open to ordering drone strikes on Mexican drug cartels and migrants, whom he accused of carrying drugs over the border. “We’re authorizing deadly force. They try to break into our country? They will end up stone-cold dead,” he said, and he’s not alone. Trump, Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Mike Walsh (R-FL), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Trump’s former deputy secretary of homeland security Ken Cuccinelli have all proposed various military actions in Mexico, up to and including sending in ground troops.
agent_flounder ( @agent_flounder@lemmy.one ) 24•11 months agoHe gets off on cruelty. I guess his time inflicting suffering at Guantanamo wasn’t enough, though.
Gsus4 ( @Gsus4@feddit.nl ) 3•11 months agoAnd to think somebody can be such a fucking idiot that they make Trump look almost normal. Is this some sort of trick like in France, where Zemmour’s antics were used to make LePen more palatable? Looks like it.
appel ( @appel@whiskers.bim.boats ) 41•11 months agoPsychopathic, how can a politician like this have any popular support
donuts ( @donuts@kbin.social ) 26•11 months agoIt’s DeSantis, so he basically doesn’t.
pingveno ( @pingveno@kbin.social ) 23•11 months agoSame as any strongman leader. Talking tough reliably gets votes from a certain type of voter, even if what is proposed is utterly insane.
agent_flounder ( @agent_flounder@lemmy.one ) 10•11 months agoBecause some people are also psychopaths or who prefer authoritarian leadership.

This guy is just trying to out-asshole the orange king of assholes. It’s so weird to see people trying to gain popularity by trying to prove how horrible they are.
masquenox ( @masquenox@lemmy.ml ) 36•11 months agoThe US has been waging unprovoked war on Latin America since before WW1.
The only thing new about this is that this irredeemable piece of garbage is stating the quiet part out loud.
edric ( @scytale@lemm.ee ) English35•11 months agoDude is trying so hard to appeal to Trump’s base, but it isn’t working.
fear ( @fear@kbin.social ) 33•11 months agoTrump is a full blown cult of personality at this point, no one else will do. Maybe that’s a good thing since he doesn’t seem to have much time left.

@emizeko - not sure if you’re a Russian troll or a poor American doing the real fascists’ work for them–but I’m sorry for you my friend and hope the best for you. If you missed it in my other comments, I’m currently serving in the US military and am very confident that Western media at large is on the money, and that a novice OSINTer could refute the fanfic you posted. Best wishes.
dangblingus ( @dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•11 months agoThere is fairly public pro-Russian sentiment among Republicans and their supporters. Anything to be contrarian to what the libs are talking about, even if it’s non-partisan.
init ( @init@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months agoOh I’m familiar with it. My entire family operates this way. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. I joined the military due to my parents fears about Russia and China invading or some shit. Now I’m the liberal because I’ve actually educated myself, and here they are defending the very things they were terrified of 25 years ago just to own the libs.
Gork ( @Gork@lemm.ee ) 2•11 months agoYeah, they were the types that sided with the McCarthyism as part of the Red Scare, who publicly accused political figures that they’d “rather go to Moscow” or outright saying they are un-American.
Ironic that they’d now rather be Russian than Democrat, considering that the Russian Federation government is openly hostile to the freedom they take for granted.
(Not harping on Russian culture, just the political and geopolitical stance of the Russian Federation. I actually like Slavic culture.)
init ( @init@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months agoMy mother was all into the satanic panic BS and Linin’s words about winning the next war via education and indoctrination of youth in our schools. Dad turned out, interestingly enough, to be closeted gay when they divorced because he was also an abusive sack of shit father.
The ironic part is that he is so indoctrinated from his small hometown upbringing that he still votes Republican-only and hides the fact his business partner and co-owner of his father’s ranch he inherited is also his boyfriend, or at this point, common law husband. He still hides it because the small community he lives in would probably not be very welcoming. The funny thing is that, at least before it was revealed he was hiding a boyfriend, he was hugely homophobic.
It took me literal years to deprogram, in no small part from reddit, traveling through the military, and seeing the hypocrisy of modern Christianity. It’s sad that so many will never question the values they grew up with and will turn into the next generation ignoramus.
lumpen2 ( @o_0@slrpnk.net ) 20•11 months agothis is really the natural end point of their racist rhetoric

I would think the natural end point is gas chambers. This is more like the mid point.
100_kg_90_de_belin ( @100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it ) 4•11 months agoI would say that the end point is annihilation through labor, gas expensive.

The real war is hate media memes and messages that trickle down to those obedient to voices from the clouds, electric voices these days. In the old days, books that said burning bushes gave out signals.
