    I mentally self-harm by keeping a finger on the pulse of chud talk radio.

    They are 100% priming their audience for murderous border policies. The rhetoric they are putting out, the lies they are telling, and the inoculations they are putting out against reason and empathy all serve a single purpose (in my personal analysis). That purpose is to prepare the (tragically sizable) conservative population for ultra violence against the inevitable wave of climate (and Yankee induced destabilization) refugees in the coming decade(s).

    It has gone past the “they are taking our jobs” rhetoric. They creating the perception of an existential threat against which a child alone is sufficiently scary to justify any means necessary.

    I’m genuinely scared about what the ever-ratcheting immigration rhetoric is going to lead to. They even are at the point of angrily reacting to migrants being given water…IN A FUCKING DESERT. They are raging against the simple charity of a water bottle in a desert. This is going to become a pogrom.

    When he pledges to tackle immigration, this ain’t a dunk tank post. It’s the promise of mass slaughter in the years to come.

      Yeah, IIRC the US military's plan for climate change for like a decade has been "build a wall and kill anyone who tries to cross". Not surprising that they're laying the groundwork for it now.

        Not just the military. Not even especially the military. The conditions that allow the military to act on the border require a near consensus between the branches. The people who matter (have power) seem to fully intend to militarize the border by militarizing the domestic forces that operate there instead. Which is somehow scarier. Even less oversight (not that a meaningful amount exists in the military anyways).

      Who knew that chuds were fancy pants Europhiles all along?
