"But experts argue mass deportations are unlikely in the short term"
Okay, but like. Long term planning is a thing. The long term is in fact something you need to consider in the present, especially for an action that you might only have a limited window to undertake
Yeah, the Nazis didn't start rounding up Jewish people immediately either
I've been trying to explain that to my mother, who doesn't want us leaving. She's Jewish. She should know better, but she thinks we're overreacting. Our daughter is queer, so we don't think we are. I said to her, Kristalnacht didn't happen on day one, but by the time it happened, it was too late.
Every thing trumpians disagree with or is pure fascism is a joke to them.
Everything is fake news, so if Trump says something stupid, he just says it's fake
Trump will be using the justice department and IRS to attack his enemies, and by the time people realize what is happening, it will be difficult to go back
It's not the Justice or IRS or even FBI/CIA I worry about. Trump said somewhere that he'd have no problem using the US Military against Americans. He probably already has a plan to replace all the generals who might have a conscience or be loyal to the consititution (and not him).
cities like Boston, New Jersey, and Canada
Even the Oxford comma couldn't save that one.
Canada is a safe haven city.
People like Kim Kardashian, Hercules, and the statue of liberty
We want you to leave and stop using our country's services and supports .... but we want you to stay as slaves that we can abuse.
Maybe the Haitians' employers in Springfield should have campaigned harder against Trump.
Or maybe even Ohio politicians in their state's economic interest?
But no....
Haitian workers have revitalized Springfield’s economy, and their departure could severely impact local businesses and neighborhoods.
Sounds like wishful thinking, but I certainly hope so. I hope people there can't get the services they need because the rednecks don't want you do the jobs the Haitians were doing.
But, probably not.
there have been several interviews with local business owners in the last few months and they've said publicly that the Haitian influx completely saved their city's economy
I can believe it, and I really do hope it has an impact. After this election, I'm doubly pessimistic about progressive outcomes.
Let's see how long it takes for people to go "Please come back"
How long did it take the brexiters?
Like 3 years iirc. Though they started getting quite within a couple months and by a year in few people were defending it already.
