    They’re starting with “Illegal Immigrants,” and to them, deviant “Transsexuals.”

    Once they get rid of all the immigrants and trans people, does anyone really think they’re going to dismantle the infrastructure, bulldoze the detention centers, and fire all the excess agents? Or is it more likely that they will just find new out-groups to throw on the pile?

    It blows my mind that people see this happening in real time and just go “that’ll never happen to me”.

      Getting a lot of mileage out of these Run the Jewels lyrics recently

      Funny fact about a cage, they’re never built for just one group
      So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you
      The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
      You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too

      new out-groups

      Better yet, same out-groups, just new assignments. Straight person criticized trump? Call straight person gay, now free to persecute them.
