Excerpt from the Article

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social early Monday morning that his incoming administration will declare a national emergency and use military resources to implement a mass deportation of illegal immigrants. The confirmation was made in response to an earlier post by Tom Fitton, journalist and president of Judicial Watch.

Trumps vow to deport illegal immigrants residing in the United States was an integral part of his campaign, which was widely popular among his supporters. As the Washington Examiner previously reported, the president-elect said he would deport more illegal immigrants from the United States than any of his predecessors.

My Opinion

Jezus Fucking Christ, we are living through a nightmare speed run.

So the first thing hes gonna do when hes president is declare a national emergency almost immediately?

Isn't that supposed to be saved for the end of the term, or I guess the emergency powers is what gives him the ability to start pushing more insane shit almost immediately without delay or the senate being able to stop him. Although with control of all three branches, how much opposition would there be anyways, or is he planning on pushing in such insane shit, that a senate doesnt even have legal powers to approve what he is planning.

You don't just Rail in Facism like this, Facists all over the world, know you have to slow walk your population towards facism. Yes eventually once Facism has become clear , you take down all the curtains, but I did not believe the USA was already at that point. I was confident Trump could have strung his base along for at least another year or two. Speed running towards facism and tyranny is going to have some nasty unforeseen repercussions for the Republican Party as well, but that will be the least of everyone elses problems.

And this is just one fucking terrible thing he is going to do... Just this one action , will have devastating consequences, imagine everything else he chooses to push through. I just dont get it anymore, it truly feels like the end times.

Emotional Venting

There are no words to describe the horrifying things that are going to happen in America. It is far more sad, that not a single person in my family actually thinks anything that bad will happen, they do not support Trump, nor do they live in USA, but they dont have a clue about about Project 2025, and they look at me like I am crazy whenever I bring it up.

HOW MESSED UP IS THAT!

I cant even talk to my democrat family because it will make me look like im the one chugging propaganda. So I can not really talk to them about how bad everything is about to become.

If you think hes gonna be just going after illegal immigrants , he will be going after everyone that opposes him or his party. That is the whole purpose of the denaturalization policy he will be pushing through at the same time as well. They will re-define who is a natural citizen and who is an illegal immigrant.

Genuine reminder Heritage Foundation wants anyone with even a lick of non american DNA in them to be deported.

So imagine how that'll work.

The average American is very lazy and self-focused, they will sit back and allow this to happen if they personally aren't harmed. It's a sad fact, but most people aren't truly against fascism. Most people in Nazi Germany sat back and let it happen too. America is not unique, it will be no different.

Let's not forget that the US grabbed citizens of Japanese decent and put them in camps during WWII. There is no reason to think that this will not happen AGAIN in the US with what Trump is saying. 2/3rds of those in these camps were US citizens.

I fear that anyone with a Hispanic last name whether they are legal, naturalized, or a citizen, could be in danger.

Again, Heritage foundation wants mandatory DNA tests onto people and want to deport people with an ounce of non American DNA in them.

Why not? I keep getting told the second amendment is there to make sure the government can't take away your other freedoms. I guess we're going to find out if that's true or if (as I always thought) it was always a bunch of hot air from insecure gun-huggers.

They absolutely did. They 100% voted for this. Trump said mass deportation was his goal from the earliest parts of his campaign this time around. To claim otherwise is either to be either lying or stupid.

This is going to require a massive amount of money and resources. Construction of camps to keep people in until final deportation, that sort of shit. Thing is, once the apparatus for this abomination is constructed and put in place, it's not going away once they have deported anyone that's undocumented. It will then be turned against whatever the next group the GOP has decided is less than human. Haitians will probably come next. Then my guess will be the homeless. Trump has already said he wants to put the homeless into camps.

After that, probably LGBTQ people.
We are essentially on step 1 of the "first they came for the...." poem.

I'm not even Latino, but because I'm married to one, my surname is very obviously Latino, and I'm also trans. So I could be targeted for either of those, let alone both.

I honestly don't think Trump and his ilk care enough about black people to actually go after them. They're likely just gonna be ignored and never have their concerns addressed beyond "bootstraps."

I think the target list goes illegal immigrants -> legal immigrants -> Arabs/Muslims first.

Depends on if people rise up before he manages to purge the military. The military has the right to refuse the Presidents orders, and the current makeup of the military would likely outright refuse to attack US citizens. And if Trump orders them to do so, they might even potentially turn on Trump and join the revolution.

Which is why Trump wants to purge the military, replacing all their generals and other high ranking officers with loyalists that will carry out what he wants. If a successful revolution were to happen, it would have to occur before the purge.

What a lot of people don't realize at first is that there will always be another group to target, when deporting illegal immigrants isn't enough to magically fix the country overnight, he'll have to target legal ones too, and so on. Though there's a pretty good chance that even legal immigrants will already be targeted in the first round anyway. He's going to have to come up with a lot of excuses for why grocery prices are going up instead of down. Unfortunately he's very good at the grift, and that's the scary part.

He's not even good at it, he's very easy to see through if you have an ounce of critical thinking. Many Americans simply don't.

They do, it just won't come up until wayyyyy down the line, because it'll be stuff like allowing Jim Crow if not blatantly re-introducing slavery.

Legal immigrants?

MAGA doesn't consider any immigrants to be here "legally".

Maybe if they're white.
He's absolutely going to try and get the national guard, then the military involved

https://archive.is/2024.02.13-183058/https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/02/trumps-immigration-plan-is-even-more-aggressive-now/677385/

How Trump and his advisers intend to staff such a program would make a prospective Trump deportation campaign even more volatile. Stephen Miller, Trumps top immigration adviser, has publicly declared that they would pursue such an enormous effort partly by creating a private red-state army under the presidents command. Miller says a reelected Trump intends to requisition National Guard troops from sympathetic Republican-controlled states and then deploy them into Democratic-run states whose governors refuse to cooperate with their deportation drive.
...
The hybrid status that Trump used in D.C. is probably the model the former president and Miller are hoping to use to send red-state National Guard forces into blue states that dont want them, Nunn told me. But Nunn believes that federal courts would block any such effort. Trump could ignore the objections from the D.C. government because its not a state, but Nunn believes that if Trump sought to send troops in hybrid status from, say, Indiana to support deportation raids in Chicago, federal courts would say that violates Illinois constitutional rights. Under the Constitution, the states are sovereign and coequal, Nunn said. One state cannot reach into another state and exercise governmental power there without the receiving states consent.

But Trump could overcome that obstacle, Nunn said, through a straightforward, if more politically risky, alternative that he and his aides have already discussed. If Trump invoked the Insurrection Act, which dates back to 1792, he would have almost unlimited authority to use any military asset for his deportation program . Under the Insurrection Act, Trump could dispatch the Indiana National Guard into Illinois, take control of the Illinois National Guard for the job, or directly send in active-duty military forces, Nunn said.

Which would be made much uglier by Trump's military purge

This is what he meant by "dictator on day one"
The reason i say that is because there's so much misinformation and enough people going "oh he won't do that, he didn't say that, he didn't mean it" that when I say a good portion of Trump voters did not vote for this I actually kind of mean it.

People want deportations, but outside of the Cult, who actually wants a state of emergency forced deportations? Yeah, it isn't like this possibility was hidden, but a lot of people voted for the kid version of Trumps policies after they get it filtered through the sanewashed media and the Trump fans going "no, he wont/no he didnt/he didnt mean it that way etc"

The main requirement to voting for Trump but not voting for this is having no critical thought processes upstairs, which many of us do not.

no, the incoming white nationalist Christofascist regime doesn't want to deport black people. they just want to stick as many of them as they can behind bars to keep the profits from the private prison system coming in, and force any that are left to work in the fields to replace the deported immigrants.

A vote for Trump is a vote for this.

Just because some people weren't paying attention doesn't absolve them from the result.

Mass deportation will instantly become one of the most hated things in American history if it's implemented. People have this belief people only here to work will be immune and there's large swaths of vicious criminals roving "Out There" who need to be deported.

In reality, people are gonna see their communities upended, watch their friends and families taken, people in their neighborhoods and everyone's gonna hear stories of folks who've been here for years without incident sent to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and so forth.

The thing is, I don't absolve them of their vote. It would have been nice if these people actually had a critical thought before Nov. 5th, or were more media literate to not get hoodwinked. I have no sympathy for anybody who voted for Trump and gets harmed by one of his policies the media sanewashed and people covered up.

That's just to explain why I think there could be a mass turn on Trump, where outside of the actual cult, nobody likes him. But I am also not holding my breath that will happen.

You are too optimistic. At most, people will whine and do nothing, and then reward the GOP with more votes for implementing it come election time.

The economic devastation it'll cause is something the GOP will be forced to own. And they want to deport millions, making it something that'll go on for years. It'll be the largest humanitarian crisis in modern american history and whoever runs after trump doesn't have his fucking forcefield.

Their ignorance doesn't excuse their culpability in this, or anything that Trump does. No one that voted for him should be allowed to forget it. This needs to stain them for the rest of their lives.

People tried to tell them this would be the result, Trump and his people weren't hiding it, they weren't pretending, they said this is what they would do and now they are going to do it.

No, they won't reward GOP with more votes when grocery prices soar. Immigrants are heavily involved with farming and such, and prices would skyrocket if that labor was lost.

What we know more than anything else is that people vote for the opposite party if unhappy with the economy. If they go through with this, the economy will get much worse.

The GOP will just blame like, SJWs or the gays or whoever is next on the chopping block and their base will just go along with it. As if the Republicans did the best they could to keep the recession from getting worse, instead of them literally causing it.
The funniest thing about this is the rural communities will be the most affected by deportations. The same people who voted for Trump en masse.

All those farm/ranch/cattle/ hands gone. Florida farmers were already complaining that they had no one to work the orange grooves last year. What do you think happens now?
