What do you think will happen when the concentration camps open and mass deportations start? [View all]

I am terrified that in a few months, America will become the home to concentration camps and forced relocations the likes of which the world has not known since WWII. What are we as a country going to do, when cameras are rolling, as jack booted things with clubs and masks on rip a baby from it’s struggling, wailing mothers arms, and beat her about her bloodied head?

That image, in some form or another, is coming to your TV screen and your tik tok videos sometime in 2025.

Do you think Americas are going to take to the streets to try and stop drumpf's Gestapo? Will they form human chains to protect the innocent?

Will blue start governors deploy their national guards? Governor Pritzker has already pretty much said he won't let drumpf take away the freedoms of the people of Illinois. How far does that go? https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/state/2024/11/08/pritzker-warns-trump-you-come-for-my-people-you-come-through-me/76119550007/

One thing is for sure. There will be some form of resistance to this, and Bannan/drumpf/Miller have had 4 years to prepare for this day, and they will have already have predicted what forms resistance will come in, and what they intend to do about. They will be ready for, and probably even craving a fight. The more they can divide the country, the stronger they will become.

I don't see the courts doing much to stop this. Oh, someone will sue to stop it, some Federal judge will put an injunction in place. And drumpf will just ignore it, since SCOTUS has pretty much said the courts cannot contain drumpf. They may rule against him a year later, but by the time they do he will have long since accomplished his goals, and their own immunity ruling will undermine any efforts SCOTUS may take to slow him down. You know the old phrase, "It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission,"? Well, drumpf has preemptively been given BOTH by SCOTUS.

If anyone has any suggestions what we all can do to help stop this, I'm listening... I'm already heartbroken for the families and communities that will be destroyed by this.
