And here’s a bit of a hint for the slow people out there - they don’t need that many agents or that big of a budget if they’re only dealing with immigrants.
The goal is to go back to the slave system using some legal trickery and brute force. The money is there to make it happen.
Yes, though with a feudal system mixed in.
Corporations and wealthy individuals will be the sole property-owners and will play the roles of feudal lords, and the people will be serfs, allowed to live on the lords’ estates only if they serve the lords.
Since homelessness will be criminalized while all property will be owned by the feudal lords, those who won’t serve the lords “willingly” will be imprisoned, and yes, they will then be slaves.
One of the various conservative thoughts is to make large swathes of US territory governed by corporations and billionaires. Basically, non-state zones subject to rules set by non-state systems.
Surprise! They’re trying to make feudal / monarchy systems. Welcome to bring peasants again, fellow peasants.
The underlying foundation of conservative thoughts was, and is, to uphold a hierarchy that supports a monarchy. It has been from day 1. The American Revolution was a war against conservatism.
I think one of the most concise ways to conceptualize the current conservative project is that they looked at the French Revolution and the collapse of the Ancien Regime and drew the wrong conclusions.
Rather than seeing it as the inevitable result of the systemstic oppression of the majority for the obscene privilege of a select few, they see it as a failure of the select few to sufficiently protect their privilege. And their goal is to recreate the conditions of the Ancien Regime, but this time around to prevent the peasants from successfully rebelling.
Weird how the conservative fear of “FEMA camps” was just them drooling about using them to put anyone that looks too brown in.
Just sitting here quietly wondering what it would take to deport everyone who admitted to being a homosexual, black, Latino, or drug addict on a medical form…cause I assume that’s why DOGE wanted so much of our private information - to use it against us.
The leading edge of the Nazi thought machine is already saying it.

Deportations will stop soon. Remember the whole nitrogen execution thing from last year? They have the budget to build gas chambers and nobody will stop them
and when those excuses for hunting people run out, who do you think they will focus next to keep getting funding?
Whoever they deem “undesirables”.
ICE = SS
I’d argue they are the Gestapo. SS was military.
ICE is just a mob of gangsters doing hits and disappearing their rivals. They and their dear leader mob boss are committing more crimes than any of the people they claim are the criminals.
Money to fund gestapo US Border Patrol and ICE-IS but not enough for health care for our elderly, education for our youth, or nutrition and housing assistance for our vets.
This government is morally bankrupt. Error Code: 404
Don’t worry, there’s plenty of money to fund israeli healthcare as well as their genocide.
Wait it passed? The democrats didn’t do anything to stop fascism? Who could have seen this coming?
It helps when they are not the minority… with a 10% margin
They have the filibuster. The thing they refused to get rid of to allow them to do good things.
I’ll never vote blue no matter who ever again. We are living the ongoing consequences of Biden’s ongoing genocide, and y’all are way too willing to shift all the blame to Trump and GOP.
I’m certain 1 or 2 Democrats would have broken with party line to ensure it passes, we don’t have 50 moral Democrats that can’t be bought. They didn’t need to break the illusion of being the opposition party this time.
Remember that it was under Biden that reporters were dragged out by force for asking questions about Gaza.
I am not saying Democrats are good (or not corrupted)… but blaming democrats for what Republicans are doing is apologetic to republicans
“They would have done x if they were the majority “ is just your speculation. The reality is that the US voted this… and it’s getting this
Biden’s ongoing genocide
Israel were illegally seizing Palestinian land by force under 45. And Obama. And Bush. In fact pretty much as a matter of ongoing policy going back to 1948. Saying that it’s still “Biden’s ongoing genocide” isn’t fair or reasonable when Trump is posting AI videos of himself and Netanyahu enjoying his new casino on the Gaza strip.
“I didn’t like getting a paper cut, never doing that again, I’d rather get stabbed with a rusty sword next time.”
