He’s already won the election. He doesn’t have to keep posturing like this.

That was never his end goal, and you're naive to think otherwise.

As for the rest, you're missing a key step - to get them all "deported", first they need to be rounded up, and put in camps (we already past this point a while back), and then since they're already in camps, they might as well be put to work. For free (another point we've past). When they start dying off in big enough numbers for it to affect production, there will be another group marked for "deportation" and rounded up for their turn.

This isn't fascism's first fucking rodeo, and it isn't only now getting started, it has been in motion for a good while now.

Interesting note: The camps started under Obama, certainly continued under trump, and only continued ramping up once Biden took over, not decreasing. Something tells me that Kamala wasn't going to buck that trend, it seems to be a bipartisan effort.

passed*

"We passed that point"

"We've passed that point"

"We've gone past that point"

"We're past that point"

The past tense verb of pass is passed. The adjective/adverb/noun is past.

But it might be hard to fix without losing your link, so we'll give you a pass.

I don't need your pass, my point is perfectly clear, you've contributed nothing to the conversation
