It’s quite simple: Just be a profoundly stupid and broken human being.

I just recently came across this on Lemmy, and thought it was a wonderful time to reuse it.

It's why education is so important. It's also why the rich (a.k.a. the Republican Party) want to gut education. An uneducated population is so much easier to manipulate - why rein in the Supreme Court, the 1%, or the government when minorities are the cause for all of your problems? It's the same tactic that's been used and nauseum for literally millennia. It's tried and true, and only education will stop it. Hell, global education is the reason we are even in such a golden age right now...

Its the people who think it's not that bad yet who doom us every single time

I've watched it happen my whole life without knowing. The lessons of the past can't be passed on to future generations. They must be relearned. I've seen it just trying to teach my own kids, but it's global.

Well that's just unfair on whatever countries they'd go to

Same reason other groups have been blamed over the years. In Nazi Germany, the Jews were blamed for basically everything - the loss of the war, inequality, etc. MAGA is doing the same thing, but with immigrants.

Why? Blaming someone else for your problems is a lot easier than understanding what's actually going on and going after that. Amusingly, MAGA leaders are using it as a diversionary tactic as they put policies in place that benefit the wealthiest. Pitting the poor against one another prevents them from seeing what's actually happening.

They've been told that it will, they've not thought that far ahead

Mass deportation would cause catastrophic problems in the United States. Mainly to red states.

I’m confused why these people are most concerned about immigrants more than anything else.

Spend a few hours on the right-wing news circuit and you'll discover everything from serial murder to economic downturns to my favorite candidate losing the election to the price of milk is directly related to Illegal Immigrants Breaking The Law. They're all voting. They're sneaking into the country to do horrible crimes. They're destroying everything about this country that's noble and honest and good. They are dismantling the English language. They dress stupid. They're doing Michael Bay style action movie heists and car chases. They're impregnating your daughter right this instant and that's why she won't return your phone calls.

And they are all working at the behest of a (((shadowy evil organization))) of far-left communist radicals who have been plotting for the last 500 years to destroy American, end Christianity, and force white people into slavery under the yoke of Chinese Muslim College Leftist Atheist Satanist Pedophiles.

If you're not worried about immigrants, you hate America.

You wanna know why? Because they are a group that can't defend themselves. Fascists need enemies. If it is not immigrants, it is the "transexuals and gays". They need a "Snowball" that is the source of every woe.

Watch this. https://youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?si=sZSPK3ELrY35xrFn The 1947 US Department of Defense can explain it better than I can.

They are their problems. Not like they can admit that though. If you eliminate all the immigrants then they will just target another group. Just like they already are. The root cause of their problems is and always has been themselves and they are too stupid to see it.

This is a delicate topic. There is deportation of people who's asylum claim fails. But there is a dog whistle from Trump to deport "the other", especially when ending birthright citizenship is also whistled.

I don't like how we currently handle the immigration, but if you think any of what is happening now or under Obama was bad, wait until you see what trump plans. To compare the mass deportations planned by trump and his plan to Obama is a bad faith, both sides argument.

These type of women know they are second hand citizens in their homes, they know that they are oppressed, but the thought of power having on a lesser group of people ( that they think those people are) is huge, they want to have some sort of power and they’re just getting that from maga.

I had to look into it because all I was finding was still images or articles that talked about it but didn't have any pictures of it once you clicked into it. It's unfortunately real, this vid has a segment with Rachel Maddow and Jacob Soboroff at the RNC convention last month (where this took place) talking about it and showing them.

That video clip was the only thing I could find and it's on a horrible website, I don't suggest going beyond looking at that video. I spent the past hour trying to find the segment on another site but no one seems to have it (if someone finds the same segment let me know so I can update the link and remove the other one).

Apparently it is.

Mass Deportation Now!” declared the signs at the Republican National Convention

If any pro-deportation voter were to learn exactly what "mass deportation" entailed and actually looked like, they would not only immediately change stance, but they would also question our current system and how much resources we're spending on chasing individual humans around the country to move them briefly.

They are WWE wrestlemania fans who chant a slogan, paint their faces and repeat the taglines. They don't even have the most remote ideas or perspectives on what our national infrastructure and policy enforcement look like.

A mass deportation would be the largest, most expensive project we've undertaken as a nation, there would be a sacrifice of rights like we've never seen, you would have to hire literally a million more agents and give them the power to crawl through anyone's personal lives, and the infrastructure alone in moving these people around would be a scale that beats our current mass transportation system by miles. Presuming the same powers that formed such overreaching organizations don't decide to just Holocaust the whole idea and start shipping dark skinned people by train to special camps outside town, and the worst part is there are soup-brained centrists reading this line and rolling their eyes and thinking "Such a thing could never happen in the modern world" from their safe, sheltered lives they assume will never change.
