MAGAtRump deport strategy: shoot yerself in the foot in case of civil war

[Bernardo de La Paz]

I had encountered some time ago the MAGA theory that if there is a civil war it would not be state vs state but countryside vs city. There's some logic in that. But the next step in their case has a hidden flaw now that mass deportation is looming. They think they would quickly win as they withhold food, cities run out in three days and descend into a hellhole of rioting, looting, mayhem, and arson.

But now they can shoot themselves in their foot! Dear leader has committed them to a strategy they absolutely love!

1. Begin deporting large numbers of farm workers and all kinds of other workers.

2. Fruits, berries, vegetables and lots of other produce dwindle, become more expensive.

3. Imports become more attractive and increase. The cities make adjustments to do without food from the red parts of countryside.

4. Surprise! Civil war breaks out. But MAGA has an ace up their sleeve -- they'll withhold food. Oh. Wait.

Of course life is not that simple and I'm sure there won't be civil war. But I thought you might get a chuckle out of the irony of tRumpian policy. There will be many such ironies arising for 4 years, or at two until the blue wave midterm.

1. Slightly off your topic but related

When many of these smaller farms go belly up, that will be very convenient for the Agricultural monopolies who can buy them at a steep discount. This is exactly the opposite of the nostalgic utopia Trump was trying to sell to the MAGAs.

2. Yes, that is the Vance shillbilly move. . . . . nt

3. Exactly. Same with housing, same with small businesses. Big business is not our friend.

Privatization of programs such as prisons, city water services, schools, Social Security, Medicare; all are aimed at allowing the already filthy rich to bleed more money and resources from the working-class folks.

4. Vulture capitalists. Take something over, fire staff, sell assets, fold it. . . . .nt
