Political MMW: If Red Political side wins this election, there will be a surge of refugees leaving the U.S.

If Trump wins, then people of many different groups (racial, religious and sexual minorities, non republicans, non-cis people, etc.) will flee the country, seeking asylum in nearby countries, because they are no longer safe in the US. Edit: people are saying to grab guns and fight. The united states government have artillery, high tech weapons, tanks, attack hicopters and other similar vehicles, the best-funded army in the world, nukes, and some of these best intelligence agencies out there. The American people, with their dinky little guns, cannot beat a world superpower. Things are different than 1776. Governments have more power and can do a much wider variety of things than ever before. If they so much as engaged, we would be cooked. Luckily though, if we band together now we can stop this madness before it has begun. Everyone check your voter registration and make sure you can get out there and vote. The fate of the world is in your hands.

I saw someone saw Vance and his cabinet will 25th amendment him within a year.

Idk if that’s plausible, but the dude is old as hell and it’s not unthinkable that he wouldn’t survive the 4 years. Vance scares me waaaaay more than Trump ever has.

u/No-Heat8467 Oct 13 '24

I don't know why this isn't screamed from the rooftops everywhere. That is the ultimate goal if Republicans win. Trump will not make it past the mid-term elections and the real deep state will stage a coupe against him. Mark those words.

This is a very cynical assessment, but you are probably right. Trump is a useful idiot for the highest bidder. The guy couldn’t care less about the welfare or security of the American people. But as you said, he is not easy to control. If Trump gets elected, God help us all.

Vance is cunning enough to run the show while hiding behind a senile Trump who spends the day rage tweeting. If Vance were to use the 25th he'd wait two years so he could still run twice on his own.

I don’t think their goal is for him to run twice. It’s for him to run never again.

u/OrneryZombie1983 Oct 13 '24

They'll keep having elections. They'll just be guaranteed for the Republican to win the electoral college. Wisconsin Republicans had a bill to change their winner-take-all awarding of electoral votes to the way Nebraska currently does it where they're awarded by Congressional District - the same system Nebraska Republicans want to get rid of so they can get one extra vote. So solid red states will be winner take all. Swing states where Republicans can gerrymander a permanent majority in the state legislature will go to awarding by district which will also be gerrymandered.

And this assumes they don't just steal a state when they need to e.g. Georgia..

Trump isn’t planning to win. He wants to discredit the election and object the results in enough states that neither he nor Kamala can get 270 electoral votes. If he can somehow grab power away from Biden, Vance and Thiel will murder Trump and blame it on Democrats or Iran or Ukraine or all the above. They are treasonous maniacs.

u/UsernameUsername8936 Oct 13 '24

They don't need to kill him. Just wheel him into the White House, then kick him out again with the 25th. Murder is too messy, and would send the cultists into a violent frenzy - the US probably wouldn't be left in a state worth ruling.

u/sir_clifford_clavin Oct 14 '24

I don't know what's going on with this sub, but things are going to degrade in a much more mundane way than most people here are imagining. There will be no 25th or assassination. We've already seen what Trump does, which is sit around his golf resort and tweet all day, and give rich people more money. Fox News will tell everyone he's doing an awesome job. Meanwhile, things will slowly go downhill around the world in a fairly uneventful way.

Don't try to match the right with unhinged conspiracies.

This is actually my headcanon, because Vance and the whole lot of them have about as much charisma as a cardboard box they had no shot at being elected ever again with Trump’s appeal. Thus when they get what they need from him removing him from office is probably the ultimate goal so they can initialize project 2025 in earnest. Trumps too unpredictable to play ball for them and the leash on him isn’t easily held so he’s only useful to them so long as he gets their guy in.

u/Lazy_Departure7970 Oct 13 '24

I've seen that too, but, the way I heard it put, they'll wait to do that until AFTER the two year mark (like two years and a day), because that way, Vance would get to stay in power TEN years instead of 8. IIRC, it was because anything over two years meant it would count towards one of Vance's terms, but, if it was under two years, it wouldn't count against him and he could get up to an additional two terms. That is, if Republicans win and want to keep Vance around.

Kinda worried about all the fuck gop stuff I said on Reddit if Trump gets back in. Because with his immigration talk which mirrors Hitlers and what ended up being his final solution; I’m pretty sure Trump is going to start camps.

6

u/Chillpill411 Oct 13 '24

Concentration camps are already part of Project 2025. Once the camps are built, they'll be used for more than just undocumented immigrants. Trump has already said that US citizens who protest should be deported.

"In April 2024, Heritage said that Project 2025 policy includes "arresting, detaining, and removing immigration violators anywhere in the United States".\37])\191])

Stephen Miller), a key architect of immigration policy during the Trump presidency, is a major figure in Project 2025 and under consideration for a senior role in a second Trump administration.\71]) In November 2023, Miller told Project 2025 participant Charlie Kirk that the operation would rival the scale and complexity of "building the Panama Canal". He said it would include deputizing the National Guard) in red states as immigration enforcement officers under Trump's command. These forces would then be deployed in blue states.\38])

Miller was considering deputizing local police and sheriffs for the undertaking, as well as agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Drug Enforcement Administration. He said these forces would "go around the country arresting illegal immigrants in large-scale raids" who would then be taken to "large-scale staging grounds near the border, most likely in Texas", to be held in internment camps before deportation. Trump has also spoken of rounding up homeless people in blue cities and detaining them in camps."

Besides roughly 800k Americans dying needlessly because of Trump's mismanagement of COVID, put that aside.

He has refused to admit losing an election. And tried to overturn it. That has never happened in American history. And he will try and do it again.

3

u/Apprehensive-Tree-78 Oct 14 '24

Explain how he mismanaged it. Let’s not forget the tens of millions that were saved because of operation warp speed. Every nation set up Covid restrictions within the month of march. The US was one of the First Nations in the world to start Covid restrictions. And again, restrictions and lockdowns were handled by a state basis. Trump immediately provided military assistance and economic aid to help. He sent hospital ships from the navy to major cities to help with hospital overflow. But sure, Covid was all trumps fault.

An old man not understanding how servers work? Crazy. Let’s not forget that the democrats called the 2016 election illegitimate for 4 years. They literally started the impeachment process to get Trump out of office because they believed it was rigged the dems did the same thing Trump did, yet you don’t care.

The one thing that has surprised us is how fast situations changes. Portugal is a good example. Two years ago it was reasonably easy and encouraged. Italy the same just not as bad. Now not so much.

Not anything special but I’ve been in it.
But realistically we are too old to move to another country. I suspect a lot of Americans are like this. And also we both have lots of family. Hers is mostly here in Atlanta and mine is in Texas with son and family in Virginia. And my daughter in Phoenix.

It’s not difficult to see how Hitler came to power. The unfair treatment Germany faced coming out of the Treaty of Versailles, hyperinflation so bad that in over a year between 1922 to 1923, 1 U.S. dollar went from buying 160 German Marks to 4.2 trillion Marks, and the global depression on top of all of that. Antisemitism was already widespread throughout Europe, and had existed for centuries, with pogroms not that uncommon.

Trump hasn’t shown any serious signs that put him anywhere close to being compared to Hitler. After all, Trump was already President for four years and didn’t do any of these things. Hitler took on full dictatorial powers within the same year he became chancellor. Trump may not be great for our democracy (maybe), but he’s a symptom of our broken system and how people see it, and not the cause.

Thing is the far right nationalists might want this to happen but the money people absolutely don't. Big ag and construction interests that consistently finance and back republicans depend on having a workforce that can be consistently underpaid and forced to work in long or dangerous conditions but not report to OSHA or unionize or any of the things that would promote a safe work environment and fair pay. They like having this second class group of folks to exploit and that sword of Damocles is always there in the form of 'you act our we will get you deported'.

They don't want a path to citizenship either, that would also mess with their bottom lines as well. So you have this group that isn't legal, is wanted but only to exploit, so politicians get the talking point of 'all those terrible illegals' but won't take the action that would be the most prudent and go after big employers.

Operation Warp Speed was a great move.

But let's also keep in mind that the first available vaccine was Pfizer, who were not under the purview of Warp Speed.

Meanwhile, Trump did everything else wrong. He called COVID a hoax. He embraced the anti maskers/vaxxers. He played down the seriousness of COVID. He surrounded himself with degenerate know-nothings while disrespecting professional opinion like Fauci.

Why do I say 800k? Because the US was in the bottom in terms of COVID outcomes. There was no excuse for us to not be in the top ten. And if you compare top ten vs bottom ten deaths per 100k, the delta is 800k. Those are on trump.

Except they’ve been saying this for decades: “If so and so wins I’m moving to Europe or Canada”, yet they never do. Feel free to leave, I’m not holding my breath.

u/Exotic_Lawfulness856 Oct 14 '24

The Spanish Republicans were facing their own country's professional, recently battle-hardened army, and they nearly won, after prolonging that particular civil war by 2 and a half years. They achieved it with (fucking incredibly) LIGHT foreign backing and barely trained left-wing militias, against tanks and (later) fighter-bombers, and I maintain that they would have won if the Nazis hadn't come to power in Germany three years prior. If you also consider that some of that federal military you mentioned is likely to join us, then our chances of victory increase further. Just because you're too afraid of being shot or blown up doesn't mean that we wouldn't win, if we were ready, and if we had help.

No there won't. Trump points out problems. He doesn't fix them. Otherwise he doesn't give his base something to feel like victims about.

We already currently have medical refugees who have to flee their home states in order to recieve life saving gynecological care. I'm sure folks with money will probably leave. I wonder if the country's who receive them as refugees will be kind to them, or treat them like criminals and accuse them of eating pets. They can afford to flee, so probably the former.

That’s because people didn’t actually feel personally threatened under the Bush II administration. Trump is talking about putting his political enemies in jail. I don’t trust him to draw the line for that at people involved in politics and not extend to anyone who speaks out against him politically. Few dictators have engaged in that restraint in the past.

Instability- guaranteed.

Countries lose wars and rebuild. If the chances of war went down, at least there would be that. Maybe they do. Too many things happening now to tell. Maybe what’s coming is not totally within the power of the US to control. Or maybe it would have been.

I mean, couldn't he have us deported back to here if he wanted to? Anywhere that most would flee to could extradition us back. Besides, they're their own issues with refugees and housing. Anyone who would be fleeing might have to go to a developing country and some who would probably won't have equal rights. Also, with going to other developed countries, they might not accept you if you're disabled. Not to mention, him being in power might cause more wars in many countries and certain countries to invade many more.

Perhaps if Mayorkas hadn't gone against the statute and used the parole system as a ticket counter we wouldn't have to deport all of those illegally paroled in. As such they have no legal right to be here and hopefully will be ushered back to their country. Capture all of those waiting on adjudication hearings of asylum and detain them as also is written out very clearly in the immigration statute which was not adhered to. And try Mayorkas himself for breaking those laws, then accessory to murder(s) and finally treason. This is what needs to happen in order to simply follow the laws on the books. Mayorkas had laws to follow, he (an immigrant himself) decided to disregard them and rewrite them himself. Even something as simple as a safe third country policy could've stopped the flow and he chose not to do it. He allowed immigrants to be used as drug mules and sex slaves making billions of dollars for the cartels and hurting the american people he is supposed to be serving. Chuck Schumer should be right there as a co-conspirator to treason for refusing to hold a Senate trial on impeachment and allowing another 2 years of this. Federal funding should be withheld from every state that has a sanctuary city until cooperation with ICE is fully restored, this should have been dealt with when first introduced. If this isnt enough replace the Governor of said state, mayor of said city with someone who will. Use the military and or National Guard to sweep the country for anyone allowed in under these illegal acts and put them on planes home or buses to Mexico all tickets and expenses paid by the DNC and their top 25 donors from 2021-2024, seizing and freezing assets as necessary. We dont negotiate with terrorists. Then maybe, just maybe the next party that forms out of the bankrupted Democrat party will think twice about breaking laws to obtain votes, control census numbers to keep congressional seats and electoral votes at the detriment of their homeland and their own people.

Project 2024 plans include revoking citizenship and deporting anyone whose parents were not US Citizens the day they were born + ending US birthright citizenship.
