Donald Trump has made the mass deportation of immigrants a centerpiece of his plans for a second term, vowing to forcibly remove as many as 20 million people from the country. Historian Ana Raquel Minian, who studies the history of immigration, says earlier mass deportation programs in the 1930s and '50s led to widespread abuse, tearing many families apart through violent means that also resulted in the expulsion of many U.S. citizens.
“These deportations that Trump is claiming that he will do will have mass implications to our civil rights, to our communities and to our economy, and of course to the people who are being deported themselves,” says Minian. She also says that while Trump’s extremist rhetoric encourages hate and violence against vulnerable communities, in terms of policy there is great continuity with the Biden administration, which kept many of the same policies in place.
My father in law is the son of Irish immigrants. According to Stephen Miller’s plan, he can be denaturalized and deported. Is it likely to happen to him? Probably not. He’s a relatively wealthy 70 year old. But once the brown people are dealt with, who will they scapegoat next?
Women are easy, natural, targets for Conservatives.
Beyond that? Disability, Left handedness, a grandfather who did yoga once, someone wasn’t enthusiastic enough during the 2 minutes hate, they’ll never run out of outsiders to invent and demonize!
We already have the 24 hour hate. It’s called Fox News. And people watch voluntarily. Orwell must be spinning in his grave.
Brown people first. Then trans, then gay, then non-Christians, then the wrong kind of Christian, then the women that can’t produce children, then the women. Maybe not in that order, but close enough. It’s been done before and we had a world war about it, but apparently driving the leader of that movement to kill himself wasn’t enough.
What if you’re all of the above?

The worst part is that Hitler only killed himself(and his family) because he knew the Russians would never let him die a quick death. It was to save himself, not because he regretted a damn thing or felt an ounce of remorse. These people don’t learn.
