So now you're claiming that there was a MAGA conspiracy to stuff people into camps?
How you can take whT I said about right wing fever dreams and come out with what you just said is beyond me, though not much surprises me anymore.
My point is that right wing fever dreams about the left stuffing people in camps is pure, unadulterated horseshit.
File this in the same basket as “they’re coming for your guns”, “they’re eating the pets of the people who live tgere” and “Your boy leaves for school in the morning and comes back a girl”.
The difference between the above nonsense and the idea that Trump might start people in camps is that Trump has already said he will build the camps for deportation (he’s gonna have to build a lot of camps) AND HE’s TALKING ABOUT AN EVER EXPANDING LIST OF FOLKS WHOM HE DEFINES AS “THE ENEMY WITHIN”.
Compare this with the plan Hitler followed in Germany. He began building camps almost immediately and began filling them with his initial list of targeted groups. It took him a while to get around to all members of his “enemies within” list, but he most certainly got around to them.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
German pastor & theologian
I heard Niemöller speak to a group of us young seminarians in Chicago back in 77. He was a good friend of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, another German pastor and theologian who died in the Flossenberg concentration camp in April ‘45, just weeks before the end of the war.
