“LET ME SEE YOUR PAPERS!” Should Latinos, the disabled and lgbtqia people wear a patch yet? Or does that come later?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Good idea. Maybe the government could create a specific patch that shows their immigration status, with each being a different color. First it's the undocumented with no patch, then the asylum seekers with a yellow patch, then the dreamers with a blue patch, then the green card holders with green patch, then the birthright citizens with an orange patch, and finally the naturalized citizens with a red patch. As each group becomes criminalized, it will make it easy for ICE to scoop them all up.

Those who bought Trump's $5 million Gold card get a gold patch, of course. Nobody will bother them. They bought their citizenship like you're supposed to.

This will make the visual metaphors in the movies of the US's Fascist Fun Time a lot easier, that's very thoughtful

The way this admin is speed running fascism I half expect them to tattoo QR codes on them. When called out for being nazis, they'll push back and say nazis used numbers. This is totally different.

Bail conditions will include a president branded brain implant.

Everyone will get a QR code tattooed on the forehead. Among other things these codes will be needed to use a credit card. Evangelicals will hail this move as a clear sign of Trump's godliness.

The Mark of the Beast, one of the primary signs of the Anti-Christ.

Revelations 13:

And he causeth all, both small and great*, rich and poor*, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand*, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Could Americans spot the Antichrist?
