I think the appeal of this is not solely about being virulently anti-immigrant. It’s about how using big violence to do big things is feasible. They want you to dream about how if they use force against 11 million people, which people they could use force on next.

And, from a tactics perspective on preserving the power of the GOP (and oligarchs) a strong and pervasive police/surveillance state is going to be ever more necessary (a lesson learned from the BLM protests - this is one way to condition military intervention in protests by starting with immigrants)

Just wait until they reveal that they’re planning to “deport” them to Madagascar & the NYT phrases it as “relocation.”

I definitely agree. They'll test their limits against the most vulnerable target group and keep expanding from there.

Until they find themselves on the other side of the equation. No doubt many trump supporters of Latino heritage will be surprised to find themselves amongst the round-up. And per trump’s usual behavior, he won’t be there to save them.

With Miller, it's difficult to tell which he whacks harder to: the exercise of authoritarian power or the misery inflicted on people who aren't white.

If they were actually to try such a thing, it would inevitable fail, simple based on the scope of the project and the general incompetence of the people involved (Trump promised over 1000 miles of new wall and built 15 miles.) When this fails, it'll just validate more outrage. Trump betrayed!

I also think they want to build an umbrella organization that doesn't have traditional safeguards (Organizational inertia, people on top who actually know the laws, etc.) that prevented the more illegal and violent things they wanted to do. And to have their followers be able to dream about joining.

Just think about how Biden’s willingness to use extreme violence to exterminate 2 million people might play into the idea that it’s somehow legitimate to use violence to displace 15 million other people.

I was thinking about this and say they somehow managed to pull it off, what happens when those countries don’t accept the deportees? Or are they only deporting to countries that don’t have the ability to say no?
