They didn't have cattle cars, but they all had prisons and a lot of people still died.

But this isn't Spain, Cuba, or the Philippines, this is a white majority country that will be building labor camps, to house the cheap labor that undocumented aliens will become.

I saw on the news this morning of the locations that Trump wants to build his "deportation camps", none of them were near the southern border, with the exception of Los Angeles.

But most of them were slated to be built in places like Denver, NYC, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, and Miami.

Los Angeles is located near farms that need workers, as is Miami! Another reason for Miami is the construction sector that lost a lot of workers when DeSatan got his laws passed.

Labor camps in Denver would cover places like Idaho, Wyoming, Utah. Chicago is perfect being close to plants in Michigan.

Just a personal opinion.

The government would then charge the farmers etc for the labor and pocket most of the money. A little, a very little would be spent housing and feeding the workers. The workers can be given a choice of staying in this country, living in government camps, and working for "room and board" or being deported out of the country. If I've thought of this so have they. Evil, just plain evil.

In it, he described the conservative proclivity for authoritarianism. There were those who wanted to rule, but also those who wanted a strong leader to make decisions for them.

Fascists use force and intimidation. Trump definitely does this, but also uses his version of the 1930s brown and black shirts: the Proud Boys , Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, Boogaloo Bois, and para military militias.

Trump is a fascist. Many of his supporters just need an authoritarian figure or a “Daddy” as Tucker describes him
