We knew they wanted to go in a fascist direction, but I doubt many of us imagined they'd have the concentration camps up and running within three months. Bukele says he won't return anyone, even if innocent, from this prison in El Salvador, and the director of the prison says that no one who goes in will ever return to their community. So how do you keep shipping prisoners into a camp without any of them coming out, and without the camp filling up? Maybe we're further along with the Nazi program than most people realize.

We're on pace with Nazi Germany. If you use that as a template you'll expect:

  • Concentration camps in about 60 days (milestone reached)
  • October we're due to leave the UN/NATO
  • Draft coming in 2027 if Trump remains in power
  • In 2030 we'll annex Greenland
  • By September 2031 we will start WW3

Now a lot can change between now and then and Trump isn't a young guy, but that's the blueprint to watch.

You want to talk about concentration camps? We're already expanding our own Black Site.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.

Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120, but that's about to change. HitlerPig has already signed an executive order to build a 30,000 bed detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and a $249 billion contract has been awarded. This will be in a remote corner of an island controlled by a hostile enemy, far out of the prying view of the courts, or the media. Anything could happen there, and nobody at home would ever known about it.

So they are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That's nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average. Clearly, they are intending to incarcerate far many people that they already do. I wonder who those people will be?

Perhaps the most worrisome piece of news is this: It is expected to be finished in 2030. Why would HitlerPig commit to such a facility if he wasnt going to be able to use it? Perhaps he expects to still be in power in 2030.

We're much further ahead than them. Unlike Nazi Germany we're already the world's undisputed hegemon and all of the world's most advanced economies are aligned w us.

Even though some are starting to learn to regret it; they're still more skeptical of China or Russia than they are of us and our military presence within their borders and their dependence on our financial system ensures that they won't stray unless the bombs literally start flying and, by then, it'll be too late.

No. No I’m not allowing “I doubt many people knew this would happen” no. Plenty of us did nothing but scream for decades. You shooed us away. You sided with them because we were inconvenient to you.

[-] Draces@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

You're saying "you" to the people that were shouting it. You're shouting into an echo chamber. Maybe go say it to them

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 22 points 10 months ago

I mean even people who were screaming didn't think American democracy would start falling this quickly. I mean did you expect him to start arresting dissenters within a month and a half of his inauguration?

I will say, even despite me being the one constantly yelling about the incoming american fascism, I also though it'd take at least a little longer

But here we are, with most institutions and companies just rolling over. Sure, I figured it would happen, but I at least thought it'd take more than a year. Not.. 3 months

It's.. I lack words, even. This is straight up nazi Germany, except we have the hindsight of history, and yet it's still all for naught. Incredibly incredibly scary

Isn’t Trump a convicted criminal? There would be a lot of happier people if they just sent him to El Salvador.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

It's not for people who were convicted. No due process allowed.

With none of that pesky due process to determine who these "criminals" are I suppose.

And of course we will never see these people again. This is so blatently illegal its fucking mind blowing.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

47 doesn't GaF. He's already ignoring UNANIMOUS scotus rulings. The law has failed. Nobody in power is willing to enforce anything.

[-] Bwaz@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago

He *IS" a convicted, homegrown, American criminal himself! Literally.

at what point is this not just a reactionary coup - the president's complete disregard of the Supreme Court's ruling and the Constitution means the United States of America is over, no? I mean, whatever this government is, it's no longer operating by the fundamental rules and laws that established this country, that define this government - this is a new, autocratic government operating by different rules.

[-] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 41 points 10 months ago

Does anyone else feel so un-motivated at work ever since Trump became president? I can't sleep sometimes with the anxiety. I don't even want to try to be anything in this American society anymore if it means a criminal can be President. What's the point? Bad always wins. Good always suffers.

Americans, either fix your shit, or start thinking about how to get out, before the big beautiful wall keeps you in.

Buy a gun. Train.

Get connected with others. Make sure they get armed. Train with them.

All part of the Orange Turds plan for America. MAGAts have turned America into a horror movie.

[-] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yep, Project 2025 wasn't exaggerated at all. We all knew this would happen.

But I'm gonna blame Biden, Harris and AIPAC for blowing up the liberal-progressive coalition and alienating working class Americans with high inflation.

How do you lose 6 million voters from 2020 to 2024. That's just insane.

Half of them went to Trump, the other half stayed home.

Madness

He can declare them criminals with his mind. More efficient than a trial.

This will also trigger a break down in law .... it's basically capital punishment ... break the law and you're out.

So to many people who see the writing on the wall .. if you're going to be punished severely, why not do as much as possible while you can before you're ejected ... or ride the lawbreaking for as long as you can until you get caught because you're screwed anyway

America is going down in flames

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 34 points 10 months ago

You don't even have to break the law.
