im sure there’s no examples in history that show how disgustingly wrong this will go, no examples at all

Yet another exhibit why, as a ten year veteran of the US Army, I have told anyone who's asked that joining the US Armed Forces is a very bad idea.

“Suspected”

*That phrase should scare everyone*

I want to say, I am from outside the US but it's a crime how history is taught around WW2.

The entire focus of history class is on learning extremely specific years and historic names, but it's a crime that we dont learn how Hitler got into power, or how his policies reflects Trumps' 1:1

I'm not sure why people didn't believe Trump when he said this during the campaign

[xanmontes]

Private prisons? Work camps? Military enforced deportation?

I guess "work will free you" will go on the door...

[TihetrisWeathersby]

This time around he will have a cabinet filled with loyalists ready to his bidding

Hi, I’m a law student who is currently studying the executive’s use of military force. Hasan is incorrect when he says federal law prohibits the president from using the military domestically as Trump has described. Because of the federal law Hasan mentioned (which usually prohibits using military force domestically), what Trump plans to do would be illegal, but it will be perfectly legal because he will declare an emergency first (activating emergency statutes that give him more powers, and less restraints, in the use of military force). Nothing will stop him from doing this because there is no legal standard for declaring an emergency.
TLDR: It will be legal for Trump to use the military domestically so long as he declares an emergency first.
EDIT: I know Hasan mentions emergency powers, this post was in reference to his mention of a federal law that prohibits military use domestically against American citizens.

Americans are about to do a 180 on Trump when the grocery prices shoot the fuck up faster than the Brits did the 180 on Brexit.

Watched this election cycle from outside the US. Give me 5 years ago and I would have told anybody the saying: "The only way evil succeeds is when good people do nothing." These days, I respectfully disagree. The only way evil succeeds is when stupid, uninformed people think they are doing something.

The fact we Californians voted *FOR* slavery in prisons was the wildest thing to see. I was literally shocked.

If he does tariffs and deportations, Americans will be in a depression, to rival any it has witnessed prior.
15 to 20 percent inflation could be reached.

Im glad im retired army. I would have refused and potentially jailed.

Soldiers on US soil rounding up your nieghbors en masse. This is not going to go the way they think it will. If that happens, there will inevitably be some communities who are going to band together. They'll have to engage US citizens in the process. And it'll get messy as hell.

Why is the U.S. government destroying recruitment and complaining about lack of recruitment at the same time. Soldiers in social programs. Why not polticians going out and fighting forest fires ?

"Limiting Immigration" has ALWAYS been synonymous with racism. ALWAYS. In the US it started(well... as much as anything can be said to be the beginning) with the Chinese exclusion act. That was the first law that was passed to limit immigration from China. The Act was enacted in the wake of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, where Chinese laborers had played a crucial role. Once the railway was finished, many Americans felt that the Chinese immigrants were no longer needed and began to see them as a threat to jobs and societal stability.

Racially Motivated Fear: The "Yellow Peril" narrative was prevalent during this time, fueled by literature, media, and political rhetoric that painted Chinese immigrants as a danger to American society. This xenophobic sentiment was often characterized by exaggerated depictions of Chinese individuals as morally corrupt or incapable of assimilation, fostering widespread discrimination.

Long-Standing Racism in Immigration Policy: The Chinese Exclusion Act set a precedent for subsequent anti-immigration laws that targeted various ethnic groups based on racial biases. It reflected broader patterns of racial discrimination that have shaped U.S. immigration policy, often targeting those seen as "other."

Legacy: The Chinese Exclusion Act was not repealed until 1943, during World War II, when China became an ally of the United States. Even then, it was replaced with quotas that still limited Chinese immigration significantly. The Act and its accompanying racist ideologies laid the groundwork for ongoing debates about race, immigration, and national identity in the U.S.

What’s going to be interesting is how Americans will try and blame anybody / anything but trump when they realise they messed up. No trump fanatic has the humility to admit they were wrong

[karlisgertmanis]

no safeguards. no limits. trump is an immune king.

I almost joined the national guard in the summer of 2020. When I saw trump advocating using them to sick on George Floyd protesters. I backed out bc I couldn’t in good conscience be in a military under his leadership and I’m glad I never went through it.

I was literally JUST in Denver for a few days, Aurora SPECIFICALLY. I didn't even see a single ethnic person. I didn't see any homeless people(not that there aren't) I didn't see any shootings, I never felt unsafe.

It's truly disgusting how they make all this shit up, off an exaggeration or outright lie.
