This is the death path Dictator Trump is enabling enacting right now.....

Trump’s Mass Deportations.
Trump’s Concentration Centers outside of any legal authority in foreign gulags.
Trump’s Concentration Camps with lack of food water in Florida,
Trump’s No medical care.
Masked Gestapo abductions across the entire USA.
No records kept of who and where the ‘disappeared’ are.

Trump’s “detention centers’ secrecy…No Congressional members
allowed to inspect.

They called them “holding centers for deportations”

Families were told:
“They’ll come back home soon.”
“It’s just for processing.”
“It’s for everyone’s safety.”

They were told to bring luggage.
Pack food. Label their clothes.
Some even brought musical instruments.
Because they thought they were just moving.

Because everything looked official.
Uniforms. Stamps. Train numbers.
Even fake maps and documents.
It was designed to feel normal.

But the gates locked.
Letters stopped coming.
And the trains kept moving.

The first camps were for political enemies.
Writers. Protesters. Religious outliers.
They called it “protective custody.”

Then the categories grew.
The “foreign”
The mentally ill.
The poor.
The wrong religion.

One camp was turned into a literal stage.
They painted buildings, installed fake schools,
and filmed commercials showing smiling children.
Behind the scenes, people were dying.

By the early 1940s, the system shifted.
Camps weren’t just for holding anymore.
They were built to erase people completely.

Most people didn’t see what was happening….
Until it was too late.

History repeats itself when you don't ask questions...

A few people resisting in key areas would make a huge difference.

Instead people and companies proactively bend the knee thinking they’ll be spared. So much cowardice

They get swooped up with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

This administration is truly cruel and evil and needs to be stopped asap!

“Cruelty is the point.”

It even LOOKS terrible when it’s in writing.

Who the hell ever thinks this is a recommended or otherwise smart strategy? Do these perpetrators have souls? Do they stop to think of anything else beyond “I was just following orders”? That’s evidently what various Nazis said when they finally were forced to face the music.

The neonazis realized that many perpetrators could have walked away unscathed and never been found if it weren't for so many meticulous records (especially early in the war). They will go out of their way to leave no paper or email trail.

They love self deleting texts and phone calls with no digital or paper footprint.

to not see what is going on. What the Nazis did in the 1930s and 1940s is now common knowledge. Anyone who cannot see it is just willfully blind or supportive of his draconian methods.

Krasnov started by saying illegal immigrants were rapists and druggies and murderers.
He continued to pile it on they steal your jobs, there are caravans coming into our country, it's an invasion, they are "poisoning the blood of our country".
He started with deporting illegal immigrants who were criminals and in gangs. His base loved that so much he went on to say Mass Deportation.
They're eating the cats and dogs.
It's now at the horrible level of any brown person. Kidnapping from workplaces, schools, courts and their own front yards.
He wants to go after naturalized citizens with criminal records which is just a small step to naturalized citizens no matter what.
He wants to deport Mamdani. He's floated deporting journalists and judges.
He's now saying he wants to take over DC and NYC.
We have concentration camps here and in other countries.

How the hell do we ever get out of this?!

is that it won't take foreign intervention to
bring Trump and the Republicans down...

They are doing it to themselves since decimating
the work force, and not dealing with climate
change, and destroying access to healthcare
are HUGE factors with consequences
their hate has blinded them to.
