If Trump gets elected

[EndlessWire]

and starts deporting people he doesn't like, what's the number involved? Millions? Because, it's hard to imagine that other countries will just allow millions to suddenly show up on their own borders. I think we're looking at camps in our own country.

Are you prepared to protest these camps on behalf of your countrymen? We're talking your neighbors, colleagues, friends, even those who don't fit a particular category, just someone who has a different opinion? Gonna get out there? What did WW2 teach us about camps?

Six months to go, People. GOTV, and kick Donald Trump to the curb. Or, preferably, to the jail cell.

Biden/Harris! Vote!

1. I thought he already said he'd create camps. nt

2. it's always fun to do math.

10 million people to deport, 150 per plane.... 66,666 flights.

At say 200 flights per day, 333 days... but this includes holiday rush and weekends, etc.. so more like 2 years.

At a cut rate cost of $300 per ticket (buying in bulk)... $3 Billion dollars.

And fly to where... ?

Bus them to Mexico? Mexico would never allow the buses to enter the country. Not 10 million. Even 1 million would be a huge strain.

we confiscate all their assets? maybe... but the courts might have something to say about that.

Finally, all of the fresh fruits and vegetables ( really the price of a lot of food, including meats ) would shoot up as the undocumented would have to be replaced with US citizens working for much higher wages. Probably double or triple the cost. Hotel stays would cost more, many eating establishments, construction, etc... all would rise in cost. You think inflation is bad now, just wait until 7 million people leave the workforce virtually overnight.

Donny says a lot of things like this... like when he ran 8 years ago and blamed previous administrations for "not taking all of the Iraqi oil" because "we won the war there"... first ignore that this would have been a war crime... there was simply no way to transport that much oil to the US and if we did transport it someplace, there aren't enough storage facilities in the world to hold it all in storage tanks... we could have potentially put it into our underground wells that no longer produce, but that would cost a lot of money and doing this on a huge scale has never been done.

Scale is hard for most people, even smart ones, to comprehend. Donny boy is not one of the smart ones.

3. Kicking out 12 million people, most of whom are workers--

Will destroy our economy pretty quick.
Of course the GOP demonizes the very people who are doing some of the most essential jobs.

10. Told This Story Many Times

Brother had a guy lined up to do some landscaping and deck work on his house when tfg was in. This guy was a MAGA, against illegal aliens. Was very pleased tfg was taking aggressive actions agains people seeking asylum. Naturally, most people who didn't have work papers and could started leaving.

So spring comes round and this guy doesn't show up as promised. Brother calls him to see what's up. Guy apologizes that he's running late on his jobs and will eventually get to him (and he eventually did). So the guy tells my brother he's having a hard time finding day laborers to work with him. My brother and I got a chuckle out of this guy complaining about not having workers. He couldn't put it all together.

4. I like to believe he couldn't get away with deporting millions of people who are contributing to our country,

but that MFer would deport enough to make his white wing supporters happy. That would be sad.

5. You can only protest the camps in a way that makes other people feel seen and safe

And that doesn't disrupt anything at all, especially for those who are uninvolved. If anybody is made to feel bad, or is forced to process the idea that many people disagree with them, they will have been made to feel unsafe, which is strictly prohibited. If anybody is inconvenienced at all, like having the walk the other way around to get to their location, they will have been disrupted, which is also prohibited.

Good luck with the protests!

6. There is no way I would protest the camps.

Doing so would let them know who I was and that I was against them and would make it that much harder to break them out.

[ecstatic]

7. Hell, I'll probably be in the camp myself

If he's *legitimately* reelected then fuck it. We deserve him. Too stupid to exist. I will be done with this country and the people in it.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. I am concerned.

My neighbors. My co-workers. My friends. A significant number may be deported if TSF is re-elected.

9. 11 million is the number I see bandied about that they want to remove

What the economy is going to do in response to 11 million workers suddenly vanishing is not clear. I assume we’ll just see more Americans complaining about lack of service again and saying “no one wants to work anymore”.
