Its worse in some ways, the US is a far bigger country. While the 3rd reich destroyed their economy under the repayment plans of WW1 The US seems to be committing a similar kind of economic suicide with absolutely zero pressure to do so.

All the big, strong, don't-tread-on-me styled people just rolling on their backs and showing their bellies to fascism. What a time to be alive, at least Germans of the 1920s-30s didn't have a direct case study to refer to.

The blacksite for innocent people kidnapped and tortured for 20+ years by the US without allegations and then released*

Yes.

*aspired

Yes.

They'll just refuse to acknowledge it

Nah. If there's a percentage of conservatives who have come to realize the mistake they've made, it's vanishingly small.

We're talking about a group of people uniformly ignorant and hateful. You have to be to support the conservative ideology. Those are prerequisites.

Our people are horrible, vindictive morons.

And I don't mean that from a place of emotional response to bad things, I am saying all of this dispassionately and analytically. The country has a large population of people who are objectively horrible, and vindication has become our primary focus for political action, and this is all because they're generally morons.

I can't even really exaggerate or overplay this. The average American's intelligence is worse than abysmal. I used to lead a team of data-workers at a large company, we had nice, casual morning meetings and talked about the latest events for about a half hour before work. I ended up in the position of people bringing me news stories and headlines to "translate" for them. I had to explain what planets are, I had to explain how gravity works, I had to explain how democracy works, I had to explain history and math and facts and ratios and words like "industrious" or "ambivalent" every day, over and over. AND I'M NOT A SMART PERSON. I have always prided myself on being informed, but at some point I became the one-eyed king in the land of the blind and I hate it.

Everything here is going to get so, so much worse because I know how far down the barrel goes, and we haven't even touched the bottom yet.

They'll claim they disagree with it and they don't like Trump (except for -insert all his policies-) and then vote for him for a third term when he makes that legal. They need to pretend not to salivate about oppressing brown people when they are in polite company but that's about it.

Some of the single-issue voters probably are, but not enough to actually vote against their single issue in the future.

Immigration detention centers have been around for a while now. Virtually all of them ran by private corporations. People rail against private prisons but they make up a tiny tiny minority of prisoners. Over 90% of immigration detention centers are privately owned.

So we're going to throw millions of people into camps so that a few corporations can extract a ton of public taxpayer money. They're also gonna stay there for years because it's logistically impossible to move over 10 million people quickly.

I didn't think fascism would happen again my lifetime. But I guess here we are

but as long as he’s hurting non-whites they will sit around giving each other rage handies and praising him

What I find fascinating is the right-wing illegal immigration latinos who support Trump. Up until now they've been saying "He's not going to deport us, he's deporting the criminals". I just read a news article about half of the people they've arrested so far did not have any criminal records.

White House press secretary goes live the other day and says "We're going to deport all of them. They're all criminals as far as I'm concerned"

I think people have this instinctual burning desire to feel part of an "in-group" and to hate against an "out-group". It's such a strong burning desire that people will jump through so many mental hoops even when they are in the "out-group".

Note that being illegal is not a crime. It's like when you get a parking ticket. It's against the law but it isn't a criminal violation. But of course the administration doesn't care and neither does the army of rabid Americans cheering on the destruction of the country.

Just saying, this sounds like a VERY expensive distraction from the fact that they’re working hard on robbing the US coffers blind…

Doesn't matter if the country goes broke. Something like 90% of immigration detention centers are privately owned. This whole thing is going to funnel hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars of taxpayer money right into the pockets of wealthy shareholders.
