Oh God I just realized if they're going to deport Palestinian Americans they'd have to deport them back to their home country, thereby actually literally returning Palestinians home. Maybe Trump is on to something!

Please say China

It's happened once before.

The U.S. Deported a Million of Its Own Citizens to Mexico During the Great Depression

EDIT: Here is another one: Mass Deportation May Sound Unlikely, But It's Happened Before

The USA also deported anarchists and communists who were American citizens early on in the red scare IIRC.

The current guy said he'd cure cancer.

If this was applied it would just be a way of silencing international students/faculty who support Palestine on campuses and to a lesser extent other people on visas. Do people not remember the last Muslim ban? He would totally do something like this. I don't why you start off your comment with "Lol" have you never met someone on a visa or an international student. Someone like him would gladly start sicking ICE on pro Palestine students without citizenship. I'm honestly baffled on the level of joking around in these comments. Like haha send me to China LOL, maybe just for a second think if this is not a joke to other people. I think it would be a travesty if something like this could happen.

CLIVE, Iowa, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Donald Trump promised on Monday that if elected president again he will bar immigrants who support Hamas from entering the U.S. and send officers to pro-Hamas protests to arrest and deport immigrants who publicly support the Palestinian militant group.

Trump, president from 2017-2021, said that if elected to a second White House term he will ban entry to the U.S. of anybody who does not believe in Israel's right to exist, and revoke the visas of foreign students who are "antisemitic."

To China

This is anecdotal, but none of the Trump types in my life care at all about Israel or Palestine. Most had never heard of them. The conservative vibe I get is they don't want any interaction with other countries, including cooperation with Israel. They want the US completely closed off, like Japan or Paraguay used to be.

Most telling of all, I'm in a bunch of reactionary Facebook groups to keep up with them. Like the types with middle aged suburban dads. Hardly any of them talk about Hamas. Their current thing is fearmongering about immigrants from the southern border again. It's in half of their memes or angry grandma posts.

soft

I figured he was soft because he's 81, we keep getting to chose between two dudes with dementia. Definitely both should be representing the United States to the rest of the world

wash ur hand before returning to posting

Seriously though, send me to Ireland and revoke my US citizenship. That's my end of life goal anyway, fuck this Western slough of a nation.

no one believes they're safe from this. we're under no illusions that an order like this wouldn't also target us - we're communists, the fascists always target us sooner rather than later. but it's better to laugh than to succumb to the call of the void. fascists are very funny people. laugh at their antics. it's cathartic.

The constitution is a piece of paper. If a sitting President decides to deport citizens nothing can stop them.

That’s not a blunder, that’s just the system working as intended.

The Republican Party will always be paving the way for the Democrats to move further right. This is because the electoral system is designed to punish voters who think they can opt out of the two-party system. If you don’t want to vote for the Democrats, you will get someone worse, and all the smug liberals will be scolding you for the next 4 years: “look what you have done! all the minorities are suffering because of you! it was literally your fault for not voting Biden!”
