I do not fall under any of the demographics that will be targeted under Trumps regime, other than being a registered Democrat, I guess. But I'm still fucking terrified. Economic disparity is going to skyrocket. The environment is toast. We may see military or militarized police knocking down doors. This is a nightmare.
We absolutely will. What did you think mass deportations meant?
Do you think that every one of these millions of "illegal" persons being deported or otherwise detained will get due process to prove that they are actually a citizen? They barely get that now.
Do you think it won't expand beyond the immigrants who are on that list, once it gets going and no one's put a stop to it when it was "immigrants"?
