That’s the thing about “hierarchies” that rely on manipulating and dividing the masses to carry out social darwinism for them. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, as long as they can be exploited. Once you’ve served your purpose, you find out real quick your new purpose is simply to replace the scapegoat you helped eliminate.
It doesn’t matter if you’re JD Vance, Bari Weiss, or some random schmo that joined ICE bc they just needed the money and didn’t mind hurting other people. You do not belong at the top of their hierarchy. You don’t “earn” a spot. You’re either born into it, or you’re not. In case it wasn’t already obvious, claims of meritocracy are part of the projection and manipulation thing.
It’s amazing that people are dumb enough to believe that the same families of generational wealth, who have recycled and relied on this same strategy over and over again, have simply made a special exception and welcomed them into the club. As long as they don’t step out of line, and as long as they always do as they’re told, they’ll be safe, regardless of what history tells them.
They’re so busy enjoying the little taste of power and belonging that they’ve been rewarded with for enabling the “lions,” they won’t even realize they’re being fattened up to make a more convincing public sacrifice until it’s too late.
It doesn’t matter if you’re JD Vance
Remember Mike Pence? Even if you meet the exact blue print of the movement you still get fucked over by fascists.
After the deportations are done, when the economic crash is looking much worse, he’ll need enemies of the people to turn on - and who knows how brutal things might get then.
The aim may well be enough to delay elections indefinitely, which would require a lot of blood. It may not stop.
The first year of many.

After the deportations are done
Is it reasonable to assume that they will be “finished” at some point? AFAIK the nazis were still deporting people right up until 1945.
That assumption is based on the decorations being the objective. They aren’t. They are just the beginning of their agenda.
Guantanamo Bay currently can hold about 200 people. They are currently building a facility there that holds 30,000 people. For context, the average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 people. The largest, in Angola, LA, holds about 5000.
So they are building a facility to incarcerate about 6 times what our largest facility holds, which is already several times larger than average. Even following 9/11, when we thought there were terrorists hiding around every corner, we didn’t feel it was necessary to build such a huge prison. The Gitmo facility will be far from the prying eyes of family, lawyers, courts, and especially the Media. If the court demands someone be released, and they choose to defy the court, who is going to go there and break that person out?
They obviously feel like they are going to have to imprison a LOT of people at some point, and NONE of them are talking about it at all. Neither is the media. In fact, I’ll bet 99% of America have no idea that such a facility is being built.
Who do they plan on sending there, and for what reasons? The media needs to start talking about this.

This seems to be the 30,000 number, but it looks like it’s mostly a nebulous increase in most other places.
It’s all over the Wikipedia and stuff.
I’m pretty sure well round up the homeless next, but nobody outside really has any idea what’s going on.
Though, I guess political prisoners might make sense too. We already use it for stuff that is not completely in alignment with our values.
Hell, Trump’s homies may get paid even if nobody ever goes there.
Well that’s disappointing.
It would be on brand to send homeless people there instead of just providing support locally. Why not be as cruel as possible while shoveling Public funds to private entities. I’m wondering how many more of us become homeless as we seemingly do the worst possible things for our population.
Here’s the executive order:
Expanding Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to Full Capacity
Here’s a solid article about it:
A bunch of construction contracts have been awarded, and construction is under way. Interestingly, it is due to be completed in 2029, AFTER Trump will be out of office, and not able to play with his shiny new toy.

Maybe I should have tried to be a dick? Who wants to fact check everything they read about on the internet? Sometimes it’s nice to see a source along with a big claim. Maybe it’s just me.
Thanks for the source, but you can keep the rest.
I wasn’t being a dick either. You asked for a source, I gave you a couple of good ones to prove I want just making it up, but I’m not here to do ALL your homework for you.
I’ve seen how MAGAs will waste your time chasing sources they won’t accept, so I tend to do the minimum, and let those with good faith use the key words (Guantanamo Bay New Prison+) to find out more.
It’s not like it’s hard, like you have to drive to the library like the old days. The source for any question you have is literally in your hand, on the same device you are asking the question to. Type in those keywords, and you’ll have all the answers you want.
The good news is by looking it up yourself, and not relying solely on the sources that some schlub from the Internet offered up, you might find some other information that the schlub didn’t want you to know. That’s how you use Critical Thinking Skills - don’t rely on what you are told, go find the original sources, and be your own news media, and draw your own conclusions outside of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, or whatever the idiotic Dems are doing.
I’m not being a dick, man, I’m just trying to teach you to be a better citizen. Questioning a statement is good, refusing to do the work to verify or refute the statement, is lazy citizenship.
You requested sources, I gave them to you, and altered my post to included the best one.
You acknowledged that you were being a dick when you first said you didn’t want to be a dick, then went on to continue being a dick, even after you got your sources. Now you seem to be on a mission to prove that I’m a dick.
I’m not interested, and I doubt anyone else is either. You got your sources, I wasn’t lying, MAGA is building a giant concentration camp in a hostile foreign nation(Cuba), far from the prying eyes of the media, courts, lawyers, etc. That’s what I wanted to discuss, not which one of us is a bigger dick.
You’ve already proven which one.
Oh silly, this isn’t 1945!
Nothing like that!
Our brutality is far cleaner.
It’s an informational autocracy!
No, it’s not 1945, it’s 1933.
People who make that mistake probably really need a reminder that todays fascist USA is not exactly like it was back then.
Snark aside, the video seems to make an important point, and I will watch all of it. The 1st minute reminds me of Hypernormalisation.
And please go to a sub called THE POLICE PROBLEM and watch some of the recent clips of masked goons abducting people in droves. There’s nothing clean about it.
We have never suspended elections in this country, not even during the Civil War. That is a BRIGHT RED LINE.
If he suspends elections for ANY reason, it’s on. That is officially the end of our Democracy, and the end of America. Without elections, we have no government at worst, and a different government at best, but either way, Democratic America is dead, and I am then a citizen of a non-existent nation.
If I’m not a citizen, I’m not paying taxes, following any laws, or recognizing ANY authority.
But would you ever storm the Capitol Building to interrupt or invalidate an election verification? Suspend the results …and if they had better luck that day your statement would look silly today…
…and they almost did. But sure, perhaps YOU wouldn’t do these things in YOUR country.
Well, you see, most of us happen to like modern niceties like…
Running potable water, electricity, garbage disposal, the internet, easy access to food, etc.
That’s a viable strategy. Get hired, fit in, then be virtuosically incompetent.
I remember reading about a Democratic activist during one of the presidential campaigns, who got a job working in some random local Republican office somewhere. He was doing lots of light sabotage, when he caught the flu. He wanted to stay home, but he dragged himself to the office when nobody was around, and smeared his disease-ridden saliva all over the office, on doorknobs, keyboards, etc.
Within a week, most of the people in the office were down sick with the flu in the middle of a presidential election.
I know your story is a lark, because of “He wanted to stay home, but he dragged himself to the office when nobody was around”
In America, you work yourself to the bone publicly and without consideration of illness, because line must go up. American work ethic is dumb and destructive like that.
Why is that a “lark?”
There would be lots of times when a campaign office would be closed - late at night, holidays, when the staff is at a campaign event, etc. It’s not difficult to believe that he would know of a length of time when he could be alone in the office to spread germs, as long as he had a key.
This was long before Covid, so nobody was thinking about masks.
Campaign offices are often crowded and busy, and you aren’t going to be able to smear your spit on various keyboards, work surfaces, door knobs, handles, etc. without getting noticed.
he’ll be put on the good list
The we owe this guy a huge bonus, so let put him somewhere he can’t cash the check lists.
I’m expecting to hear a lot of these guys getting stiffed.
lol seriously? are you going to sit there and try to say he “might not be asian”? would you be saying the same thing about a black man with a “tiny bit of exposed skin”?
i think the thing you wanted to say but didn’t, is “why talk about race”
race is relevant here because they’re literally committing racist violence, and i’ve never met an asian who spent much time in this country without experiencing some kind of racism/discrimination/bullying. and when you’re a minority, you learn to recognize “the look” people give you when they automatically hate you because you’re not 100% white. i know because i’m also asian. but now this guy’s joined the racist nazi gestapo team.
hence the comment “imagine being one of the people your band of masked terrorists is targeting”
