"One of Trump's campaign promises..."
Lol, lmao even.
He wouldn't have promised it if his voters weren't OK with it. Not saying he'll keep his word, but it gives insight to the state of the Republican party. Some people on Lemmy seem to think he's literally Hitler. He's not, even if he turns out to be just as bad. He'll find his own way to fuck shit up, so don't expect an exact repeat of history.
So let me get this straight, when you hear people say Trump is "literally Hitler" you think they're saying he's actually the original real-life Adolf Hitler, somehow still alive, clean shaven, wearing a Trump disguise? Is that what you're saying right now?
You don't think that people actually just mean history is repeating itself, and Trump could turn out to be just as bad? That's not what you think people mean?
Read my comments from the beginning of this thread. I'm saying Trump isn't going to attack the same people Hitler did. And I'm saying he's not going to attack people in the same way Hitler did.
If you're arguing that Trump won't invade Poland, we're in agreement.
But no one is arguing that he's going to round up jews. And he's already demonizing immigrants and political rivals in the same way Hitler did.
It almost seems like you're moving the goal posts, but I'll respond...
I'm not sure what you meant about rounding up jews, but Trump is pro-Israel and pro-zionism.
Trump isn't demonizing immigrants in the same way as Hitler. Hitler didn't rally against undocumented immigrants. And he wasn't trying to deport jews, he was killing them. Are you saying you think Trump will make concentrations camps and start a genocide?
I'm honestly not sure what your position is here, but I'm doing my best to respond to the points I think you're trying to make.
It honestly feels like you're not even reading your own comments. Scroll up and re-read what YOU just said to me.
He is. He labels them rapists, drug dealers, "the enemy", he is about to use them as an excuse to deploy the military domestically to round them up. You can guarantee that if you try to hide anyone in your house or otherwise try to impede the federal govt from deploying the military in your town, you will also be labeled as a criminal.
This is already in motion. Currently they are labeled as detention centers, but they will inevitably become slave camps (which is literally a protected case of actual slavery in the US), because they are privatized and slavery is lucrative. But their home countries will refuse to take them, the camps will become overpopulated, and each facility will be tasked with "taking care of the problem" without being given instructions as to how.
People are publicly decrying them.
But on the note of genocide, Rubio (Trump's pick for secretary of state) has already stated plainly that he is against a ceasefire in Gaza. Isreal is going to eliminate every Palestinian they can, and the Trump administration will support it. And don't play dumb and say "he said Hamas", Isreal has so far not discriminated between soldiers and literal children, and they're not about to start.
I find it ironic how you act like you know what Lemmy users believe, but then appear to be completely oblivious of basic current events. It honestly feels like I'm talking to someone who gets really opinionated when they're high, not even able to keep up with what YOU just said let alone what others are telling you.
I'm still not sure if you think Trump is going to go after jews. If sounds like you do, but in the same post you complain about him supporting Isreal. Which is it?
I didn't say Trump isn't dehumanizing immigrants. I said Trump isn't doing it in the same way Hitler did. That's been my point this entire time.
The rest of your post is the same speculation I've been seeing so much of on Lemmy in the past couple weeks. Stop doomscrolling and go touch some grass.
