In reply to the discussion: Can we at least not cheer for concentration camps to "teach minorities a lesson" [View all]ecstatic
(34,376 posts)First of all, none of us are necessarily immune from this shit. Once cops are granted the power to start tossing people into camps, we're all at risk, whether we're here legally or not. We could all end up in camps.
It's not really about cheering for someone else to end up in a camp. It's about idiots being forced to face the consequences of their actions, and yes, we are potentially collateral damage as well. So it's not a happy ending for anyone really.
And, to be clear, the racial minorities who voted for trump are not the only people who voted against their own interests. White people are still the majority in this country and voted overwhelmingly for tRump, including white women. So we'll see a lot more bleed outs and deaths among that group as well. And, as a pre-menopause woman myself, I could end up dying as well.
Small businesses might be bankrupted due to tariffs. 401K accounts might get depleted from trump and eloon manipulating the markets. The list of potential FAFO fallout goes on and on.
I don't feel glee thinking about any of this. Just anger. It's a really fucked up situation and I hate that so many selfish fucking STUPID assholes have put us in this situation.
