It seems to me exactly the same. An arbitrary group has been selected as being an enemy, they are used to present justifications for breaking law and due process, you then develop a large organization (Gestapo/ICE) accustomed to following orders and ignoring the law - if you're going to subvert the political system, you need to possess the means to force you will on the population. You need a large group of men who will perform violence when ordered to do so, regardless of law and due process. I mean we all know where this is going. There are not going to be free and fair elections again. This isn't a blip, it's a plan. | ||

It's not exactly the same, there are some similarities. There are still free elections happening in the US, there are still courts that rule against the government. And as far as I know those arrested people don't get killed. It's not the same, but it could move into the same direction. | ||

> An arbitrary group has been selected as being an enemy It is not an arbitrary group, it’s a group of people who are residing in the United States illegally. > Gestapo/ICE If Mexico is so awful that being deported there is tantamount to the Holocaust, why would you ever be in favor of allowing Mexicans to enter the United States without going through the legal channels to ensure that the people who come here are not creating the problems that make deportation to Mexico comparable to being sent to Auschwitz? | ||
