    I know he's just kicking red meat to the hogs but I gotta be curious. What would be the logistics of this even happening? Mobilize the national guard to kick in people's homes?

    The Trump admin couldn't even do a covid lockdown. The federal government is gutted to only do lazy, bad things that people forget about in three weeks.

    What could the feds even do? Revive Rex 84?

      You're under arrest for posting a prohibited communist meme. No, we don't read the text on the meme, if there's enough text on it that's all we need. Get in the van.

      Where are they going to deport communists TO?

      Back in the day, they put communists on a ship and sent them to the USSR. (Where most of them were fiercely disillusioned within a few years and demanded to return.) But today? Cuba? Venezuela? Vietnam? Best Korea? Norway?

      I can't imagine any of these countries agreeing to accept mass immigration from America. No way. They would be turned away the same as when America refused to admit Jewish refugees before WWII.

        The reverse is when the USSR put liberal/monarchist intellectuals on a boat to Germany, then they did it again a few years later to Istanbul. That was awesome though.

        The current USA only knows how to do brutal things in the laziest way possible, so my instant assumption is socialists would get sent to Mexico. Further red meat for the hogs.

        I could actually see Cuba accepting American refugees. They tend to be pretty cool with incoming immigration.

      Probably hands off until we organize put workplaces at which point ICE comes in and departs the organizing committee to Laos.
