How long before we start hearing about death camps?

They call them "Detention camps." I'm calling them what I believe they will soon be.

What's going on at Guantanamo? Can immigrants sent there talk to lawyers? Do they have any rights at all? Are they safe?

Not to mention all the other "detention camps" where ICE is depositing people.

What happens when Trump & Co. start to realize the cost of imprisoning hundreds of thousands of people, and what it takes to house, feed and clothe them? How long before they realize there's no place to which to "deport" most of them? How long before they decide it's cheaper to kill them than "detain" them?

I truly believe that the regime running America is fully capable of genocide and it's just a matter of time before they go there. And once they start, the victims will far exceed immigrants. It can and will include anyone who displeases or disagrees with "Dear Leader," or his regime.

Some (many?) here on DU will call this a huge "doom and gloom" post. Well, for the past couple of years I've put up posts that were called "gloom and doom." But my answer to that is, take a look at where we are today.

They have hit us with a tremendous political blitz. And if we are to prevail, we must ignore "rules" that no longer count. We must do whatever it takes to get back our democracy. And we must be totally ruthless in defeating those who would enslave us all.

2. First, they will shut down all news outlets that are critical to the administration. Fox News will be State TV.

Following that, the really horrible will begin to happen. I'm sure of this.

They are relying on "sources."

Nonetheless, I'm still of the opinion that those who currently hold all the power, are well down the road to genocide. Or what the Nazi regime called "The Final Solution."

They're planning to move our deportees to a camp near the Darién Gap. Nobody will ever know what happens there.

11. Well, I am thinking that Black people will not go willingly into

A Concentration/Death camp, so I suspect that will be on the news.

I cannot speak for what the Latinos and Muslims will do.

I cannot speak for what Women will do.

I cannot speak for what the LBGT people will do.

Suspect that the Log Cabin Republicans might choose to go in support of their leader.

Suspect that the Christian Right people might choose to go as part of their rapture movement.

America will be destroyed from within if this were to come about. There are just too many guns and sane people willing to fight against Evil.

Also suspect that MAGATs will promote these camps as a good thing.

FBI Director Kash Patel calls for "offensive operations" to jail Americans they consider the enemy. "Yes, we're going to be coming after people in the media...we're putting you on notice".

That’s us folks!
