Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

That is solidly, I shit you not, A THIRD OF THE POPULATION.

Does this moron not realize that this proposition is economic and logistical suicide?

... you know what, thinking about it, he probably doesn't.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

He is a fanatic.

He wants his worldview violently imposed by force, not because it makes any sense, not caring that it would destroy, among other things, the economy...

He wants it because that is what his definition of morally righteous is.

Ya'll Qaeda.

It is better to starve in a sanctified and Godly realm, than it is to dine with heretics.

That is how this kind of person earnestly thinks.

When they say "deport", they actually mean "enslave"

[–] tristynalxander@mander.xyz 2 points 18 hours ago

So... invest in private prisons?

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, right, the fun little loophole in the 13th Amendment. By golly, I keep forgetting why America has the highest incarceration rate on Earth, it's because it's legal slavery.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

El Salvador passed us with a higher rate a couple of years back.

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

How many of those prisoners are Americans tho?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

They passed us in per capita prisoners several years before all of the exporting immigrants to torture prisons for life because we are mean spirited assholes thing. So if anything it just added to their numbers.

It's a very small country though, not really that comparable to the US.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're only going to enslave them until they have enough. They've already calculated that the 100,000,000 are those that are unsuitable for slave labor, for whatever reason, including age, health, resistance, etc. They'll keep the compliant ones, and eliminate the rest.

He's just saying deportation because he doesn't want to be controversial.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Population is strength. Reducing it isn't good.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Is this still true in a post AI world where your country’s billionaires are the only people who count?

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 12 hours ago
[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

MAGA has a fundamental disagreement. It all depends on the demographic make-up of that population. A large population filled with undesirables isn't as strong as a concentrated population of pure superior white people.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago

"That's just a fraction of the eleventy billion illegal voters that steal welfare every day."

Of course he knows that number is nonsense. He also knows the people he's speaking to are too stupid to notice or care.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why stop there? If we deport 200 million, commuting will be faster.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Why stop there?

Because that's when they run out of non-whites.

Don't get me wrong; after that they'll pick another out-group and continue the purge, but they're not gonna just come out and say that up front.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But then what will you guys eat for tasty food? Mayonnaise sandwiches?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

You really don't understand the situation if you think that is where they are going. The whites that don't lick their boots are the ones they want to target the most.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They can start accusing anyone of being Muslim. I've been called one before and I'm a 30+ year atheist and former Christian.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

My pale AF redheaded coworker had the n-slur thrown at him repeatedly while he was driving. Folks can be... let's say inaccurate... with their slurs.

(he was kind of confused and bemused, which is why he told me about it. He had the top of his car down, his skin and hair were visible)

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

In the past, the definition of "white" has gradually expanded to ensure that the majority of the US population remained white. Its definition could in turn be narrowed.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Ooooh, I'm voting for you!
