The Trump Administration is going to begin by rounding up "illegals" on Day 1 they say, and deporting them.
Let's ignore, for the moment, the horrible inhumanity of this, alone, and look at the effect of this on the economy.
Such people are the mainstay of agriculture, manufacturing, and the care industries. All of these industries are going to immediately crater. Prices for food and what manufactured goods are going to skyrocket. Care in hospitals is going to get exponentially worse, because nursing aids, without any additional pay, are going to be tasked with janitorial tasks, as well as their current duties.
This is even before we get to the effects of Trump's promised tariff and consumption tax.
So, if people are upset about food prices going up, I hope they look back at how cheap food is today. I really do.
In short, the promise that Trump and his allies have sold the idiots who voted for them is that by getting rid of the illegals they'll save money (no), they'll open up good jobs for Americans (no), and things will automatically get better (Hell to the Fuck no).
So, what happens when a regime that rode to power on the backs of a hated minority finds that the effects of their promised pogrOms hasn't had promised effect?
THEY WILL EXPAND THE POGROMS.
Next are likely to be women in the workplace, and/or LBGTQA persons. As someone without a beard, I'm going to be automatically suspect, even if I there weren't breadcrumbs demonstrating that I identify as Ace. Or maybe we'll go after those people dragging down the economy with their "disabilities." Here I am with my chronic depression, as documented in several government files. Finally, we have several key Trump supporters who are absolutely rabid about "Replacement Theory," which rails against secret Jews replacing good WASPS in American society. And here I am again.
Don't get me wrong. I recognize that I'm not going to be the first on the chopping block for the assholes. But each round of pogroms will make the next round easier - and more necessary, as the mob gets addicted to blood - and the blood fails to fix the fundamental problems that they're trying to distract the mob from.
If I'm lucky, me and all those AIPAC idiots are going to be shipped off into the blood soaked Gaza strip and told we can build our own quarters there. I don't believe in luck. A fifty cent bullet is cheaper still.
And for anyone who wants to claim that the courts can stop any of this? Remember: The President can't be held accountable for any of his official actions. So, if he orders someone to shoot John Q Public on live TV, he can do that. Under the UCMJ, it wouldn't even be an illegal order - after all, the President isn't accountable for any official action.
We are so goddamned fucked.
