Imaging being in the 21st century, holding one of those signs, and thinking you're the good guys.

It’s quite simple: Just be a profoundly stupid and broken human being.
I am willing to bet that it has significantly more to do with narcissism and a religious-indoctrination-induced mental illness than it does stupidity.
There's a reason they've been attacking education for generations. There's a reason donnie gassed a bunch of protesters to hold a bible upside down in front of a church. Religion literally teaches you to disregard logic and "just have faith", from birth. The sooner people understand the real problem the sooner it can be resolved.
I just recently came across this on Lemmy, and thought it was a wonderful time to reuse it.
I'm starting to see the whole "endless cycle of suffering" thing now and how it came to be. The absolute madness of generational amnesia is agony.
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
"we can yet still make more money"
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.
I am slowly giving up hope of politics; Hitler is after all the Chosen One of his people. I do not believe that he is in the least bit shaky, I am slowly beginning to think that his regime can really still last for decades. There is so much lethargy in the German people and so much immorality and above all so much stupidity.
Victor Klemperer, I Will Bear Witness 1933-1941: A Diary of the Nazi Years
Mass deportation? Start with the ones holding the signs. Keep going till there are none left.
Well that's just unfair on whatever countries they'd go to
Who said anything about sending them to another country?
Toss them on a boat, and only fuel it up enough to make it halfway to their destination.
Only 29.2% of the world surface is land. Seems weird to focus on that area when deliberating where to send them.
It's ok though because Anne Frank's diary has been banned in several states so there is no conflict.
I'm confused why these people are most concerned about immigrants more than anything else.
If you deport them, what next? It's not gonna solve all your problems.
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.
It’s also a logistical nightmare.
How do you get millions of people out of the country in a timely fashion.
They’d need some place to put all of them for sorting, some kind of camp where they could concentrate the population.
Likely they’d just be sitting around all day, but thanks to the 14th amendment, they can be put to work for free.
And it would take forever to get all these people over the border, and they could just come right back over. They’d need some kind of long term solution, something final to prevent more immigrants from coming over.
Yeah this is gonna be bad.
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.
Okay, yes, sure. This looks like a prelude to a holocaust. But have you considered the fact that Anne Frank was breaking the law?
Holy fuck they made signs about it?
You want to strictly enforce illegal immigration and do mass deportation? Ok, but then we need to jail any business owner who hires undocumented workers. Massive fines and actual jail time.
Let see how Republican business owners feel about that. Dry up the demand for these jobs and the supply will decrease.
Of course I know these fascists will come up with excuses as to why they don’t want that since the benefit from a vulnerable working poor class of workers for them to exploit at farms, construction companies, hospitality jobs, etc.
Do they mean to say deport themselves? Isn't America a land of immigrants essentially at this point?
I bet many of these folks have have Irish ancestors who escaped poverty and the famine. That's like telling people to go back to their poverty-stricken land. Which is impossible considering that climate-change is only creating economic disasters many developing countries.
I say this and will say it again: there are no such thing as illegal immigrants anymore in the face of climate-change.
Hasn't mass deportation been happening since Obama? Didn't Biden up the efforts with his administration? Kamala went down to the border and said "Do not come", yet these people are pretending it's not happening.
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.
Never seen so many Karen's in one Pic. You just know these are type of women that think their word is final. They believe they know all
Little do they know they've been duped by the biggest conman of all time, trump. A man that wins votes by instilling fear. A conman that's voter base are the most easily conned folks on earth. They will believe anything as long as it's back by some form of fear. Some of the dumbest people on earth unable to think for themselves
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.
Is this real?
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
https://www.cbs58.com/news/mass-deportation-now-signs-on-display-at-milwaukee-rnc-spark-conversation
Seriously, how does "mass deportation now" poll? Even the magic wand version that just magically knows who has legal documents and who doesn't without major disruption to those with legal status, that can't have more than 20%-30% approval right? I don't understand why this would be something they would make signs about.
Edit: well, I was off, the magic wand version gets 51% which at least makes some sense to have signs. Usually you'd have something more popular as a main signpost of your campaign but I guess it's not insane.
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.
Who likes all our pretty songs,
And he likes to sing along,
And he likes to shoot his gun,
But he knows not what it means,
Knows not what it means,
Trump wins and we have camps by the end of 2025. We should expect the executions to start shortly after
I feel if they don't like having non white people here in America, THEY SHOULD FUCKING MOVE. People like this need to fuck off to the sun.
