Build massive secretive camps that house thousands and thousands of people
Raise a personal gestapo to hunt down and disappear immigrants
Pass laws that brand anyone left of Reagan as a domestic terrorist
Call for more firing squads
???
They don't call it fascist dystopia for no reason.
You forgot to profit between each step.
The last step is to privatize all the previous steps.
Whenever capital punishment comes up, I am reminded of the hypocrisy of American Christians.
Pretty much every Christian claims to believe that killing is prohibited by the ten commandments. In a democracy, if you vote for a politician who supports the death penalty, you are asking them to kill a person on your behalf. A Christian should not be able to vote for a politician who supports the death penalty.
Compare that with abortion. The bible says virtually nothing about abortion except how to pray for one. If you vote for a pro-choice politician, nobody is being killed on your behalf.
Compare these two, and it's obvious that a Christian who votes for a pro-death-penalty and anti-abortion candidate is voting against their own religion. But they claim to be voting for Christian values, which is pure hypocrisy.
I think we are reaching a point where its an open secret that the words of Jesus are purely marketing for Christianity and the reality is quite uglier.

yeah but the realization for large portions of the population is what is new, although I agree that it has always been just marketing!
I'm an atheist and I know not to subsume all of Christianity under white evangelicalism.
As someone raised in the church, but did not fall into white nationalism like so many Republicans, they will absolutely never be swayed by logic. They're literally brainwashed in a cult. Jesus is no different than a member of antifa to them. They only care about themselves, their cult, its leader, and seeing other people hurt. None of those things are in the ten commandments. If judgement day came today, every single one of them would have a reserved seat in a particularly nasty place in Hell.
I hope this is foreshadowing for the trump regime being executed as war criminals.
Firing squads are too clean, I want gallows, I want gallows run by someone who ain’t any count at running a gallows, so they all die in terrible ways
I think I read that some WW2 Nazi wanted to be killed by firing squad after Nuremberg, but they told him no. Firing squads are for soldiers. Hanging is for criminals, so he would hang.
Sounds like we need to resurrect this guy. He was allegedly pretty terrible at his job, and several of the individuals he hanged did not die a quick death.
Nothing should be a clearer indication that the death penalty should not exist than lunatics like him controlling it.
It's funny how all the countries with autocrats or legal corruption love the death penalty
If I supported capital punishment, I'd be in favor of firing squads over lethal injection. It's more honest. Shooting someone is clearly meant to kill while lethal injection dresses it up like a medical procedure.
I oppose capital punishment though. The criminal justice system is not reliable enough to only punish those truly guilty of the worst crimes, it doesn't seem to be a more effective deterrent than imprisonment, and it usually ends up costing more than imprisonment for an offender's natural lifespan.
Who would do the actual shooting though? For me this presents a problem. It can go two ways:
Or even worse...
That's actually why it's a squad.
A single executioner would be more than capable of delivering a killing shot. Hell, they could just shoot them in the head with a handgun.
The squad means that no one member knows if they're the one that actually delivered the killing shot.
Select one person from the jury that convicted and assign them the role of carrying out their judgment.
I thought about that too, but juries usually don't decide the sentence (in this case, execution). Juries just determine guilty or not on the charges. Sentencing is usually decided by the presiding judge after the jury renders its verdict on the charges and are already dismissed.
Abolish the death penalty completely no reason to trust the state with this power.
I hope he does this, then the next president comes in and trump gets sentenced to death for treason lol.
Unlikely but a nice dream
I have absolutely no faith anyone will ever give these psychos any consequenses, especially not any democrat. That would mean they themselves would be open to consequenses, and that simply won't do for the ruling class. The worst that is ever going to happen to Trump through legal and peaceful means, is that he'll be sentenced to house arrest at Mar-a-lago, and even that is doubtful. Any other punishment will have to be done by the people.
And everyone on this side of the pond said I'm overreacting by calling trumps immigrant detention centers "concentration camps", but here we are. Even the Nazis didn't start as fast with their genocide as the orange turd seems to try.
He means Death Squads. Every Republican accusation was an admission of guilt.
In a two tiered justice system where the rich have no accountability I can't see this being problematic at all. America is a shit hole country now.
The death penalty is anathema to civilised society.
I warned about this before the election. People thought I was crazy...
Republicans have literally been talking about this for years...
Yeah but Harris was once a district attorney. So we get this. Its all the Demmicrats fault.
The fact this is still getting downvotes is pathetic.
Lemmys gonna lemming themselves in front of the firing squads they did nothing to oppose.
Searching for ways to go as low as possible, this orange administration. Very creative.
Shooting the pedos? Let’s start there.
Gee, I wonder if capital punishment is going to be recommended for "anti-American values", etc.
Totally no way that's going to happen.
Let's start with them.
Suprised they're not at the point where they are looking to streamline executions by creating large multi-occupancy gas chambers.
But I guess even their role models started with firing squads, so nothing to see here...
Again I ask.
Does anyone really think those camps are only for immigrants, or criminals?
Bullshit. They're for us.
He should first familiarize himself with Nicolae Ceaușescu and how well his grifting and bullshitting worked out for him. Firing squads might sound less romantic after that.
Don't let the trump folk know about being "drawn and quartered". Those fuckers will jump on that like white on rice. Can you say "trump/epstein" files?
For themselves?
