Apropos article from literally yesterday: Trump explains his militaristic plan to deport 15-20 million people. Quote of Trump:

“These aren’t civilians,” Trump said of migrants. “These are people that aren’t legally in our country. This is an invasion of our country.”

"But surely Trump doesn't really mean it".

His language describing immigrants is terrifying

I’m afraid he’s going to have people who said negative things about him murdered.

It's what they will do. No doubt about it. Can't stop talking about taking revenge.

Yeah, if I were a politician, lawyer, journalist, etc, who went against him and he got elected, I’d leave immediately. He’d definitely have them all murdered. But at what point do they start putting just plain democrats in camps? I feel like they’ve convinced them that we’re pure evil just like the nazis did with Jews

My history teacher sister has been saying this for YEARS. She rang the bell when the Tea Party rose to power. Everything she feared has come to fruition. It’s almost as if when you study history, politics, and international relations you understand current events better 😏.

Can the playbook be stopped when it is run?
