(1,176 posts)These supposed problems with mass arrests and detention can be and have been easily solved. Slave labor and confiscation of property can be employed. Any regime willing to enact mass arrests and detention is certainly willing to use slave labor and confiscation of property.
As for the MAGA supporters ever having any regrets, read what William Shirer discovered when interviewing every day Germans after WWII.
There was so much that was true that did not make sense: the monumental apathy of the German people and their deep regret, not that they had started the war, but merely that they had lost it; their whining complaints at the lack of food and fuel and their total lack of sympathy or even interest in the worse plight of the occupied peoples, for which they bore so much responsibility; their boredom at the very mention of the Nuremberg trial, which they were convinced was only an Allied propaganda stunt; their striking unreadiness for, or interest in, democracy, which we, with typical Anglo-Saxon fervor and blindness, were trying to shove down their throats.

Their deep regret, not that they had started the war, but merely that they had lost it. Let that sink in.
