It's already happening, but the issue is so big it'll take a lot more than this to even make a dent.

Yup, because eugenics is part and parcel to ethno states. The logic is simple: improve the ethnicity, improve the state. Never mind that eugenics doesn't work, anybody who thinks ethno states are a good thing is going to be too stupid to realize that anyway.

What hole have you been living in that you think this isn't happening everywhere? And is there room for me? I could use a break...

I don't think you should be getting down voted, I think you're right EXCEPT it's less this nation specifically and more human nature generally. Humans hate to leave their comfort zone. But it's also definitely this nation specifically, at least a little. A lot of Americans have always been fascist, they just didn't realize it yet (and they're in denial of it now, but don't worry Fox News is working to normalize it for them https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/fox-news-greg-gutfeld-nazi-backlash-b2790179.html).

Which is one of those things that sounds great at first but after a few more decades of research we realize it's actually horrifically bad. Leached chemicals and microplastics are having such profound impacts on life that we're not even sure how bad it is yet, just that it's very VERY bad.

A few hundred years from now, if husband aren't extinct yet, they'll look back on this the way we look back on pre-modern societies using lead for everything, except the solution to lead was to simply stop using it while a solution for microplastics doesn't even exist yet. It's likely that, even after a solution has been found, microplastics will haunt all life on Earth until they get cycled out by geological processes.

The most highly funded police force to ever exist now knows I'm trans. Not that I'm not public about this fact, but sits different when you're in a searchable dataset accessable to law enforcement.

This also gives them a pretty solid idea of who is disabled.

And with the lack of civil rights in the deportation process, all ICE has to do is accuse you of being foreign and being in the US illegally. Bonus, ICE gets to decide on their own if your case requires judicial review or not, meaning you can be deported to CECOT before anyone even knows what happened to you.

And the public will support it, because they're being told that trans people are horrible criminals and disabled people are a drain on society. I know this because those are the same reasons they already give for their treatment of immigrants.

The legislative and judicial branches are already cut out of this process, the only thing the executive branch is waiting for is when they feel it's the right time.

Welfare as just one more method of transferring wealth to corporations, it's just the money is coming from the government and going through poor people first. Which means it at least generated some economic activity by cycling money from the top to the bottom, but if the tax structure becomes too regressive then that cycle breaks. Both sides acknowledge this problem, it's just that the neo liberals want to push those limits while keeping the money flowing (so that most of it flows upwards) while the fascists just want to stop the cycle altogether.

This is evidenced by the fact that SNAP is funded by the Farm Bill. It's not a handout to poor people, it's a subsidy for farms and the food industry at large.

You have to understand that, by "great", what they mean is "white ethno state."

That's why Trump is making an office of remigration https://www.axios.com/2025/05/30/state-department-office-of-remigration-restructure

Without due process, nobody can defend themselves. Which means, no, nobody is safe.
