Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

For reference, the population of the USA is approximately 350 million. That's a pretty significant chunk.

Also for reference, 100 million doesn't correspond to the number of immigrants, but does correspond to the number of non-white people.

They're actually talking about ethnic cleansing.

Restaurants are going to really suck after their ethnic cleansing plan.

Bo French, a Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner…

…Was all I needed to know this was about race.

This is like a shitty comic book plot. Fuck these fascists.

Soon to be Bo American (and proud of it).

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 2 points 20 hours ago

The number of Democrat voters also. Could be a political cleansing...

So you're saying they'd need to do it on an industrial scale? Might need to make large scale gas chambers that will be disguised as gas chambers to lure them in without resistance. Need a cheap gas to do it. Maybe Zyklon B?

  • ~~Nazis~~ Republicans, effectively.

yeah so think of every 3 or 4 people you know and toss one of them. That is chilling. I live in a complex with several buildings so just blast one of the buildings right out of existence. The fact they mention texas though makes me think this is all eventually going to be turned around action wise to elections. Texas wants to make their vote based on land rather than population so that dense urban centers can be disenfranchised.

That's not far fetched at all. It was only in 1964 that SCOTUS ruled that state legislatures had to use districts of approximately equal population. Other forms of districting were ruled to violate the Equal Protection Clause. It wouldn't even be that hard for today's SCOTUS to strike this down, as the Equal Protection Clause, due to its generic language, tends to provide the weakest protection of any constitutional protection.

That would be absolutely amazing - the whole US economy, imploding in 1 day.

Nearly a third, of which ‘illegals’ constitute a fraction of the 100 million goal. The answer is plain to see, esp when considering the reich’s current push to obtain voter data to help populate the central database that is integral to this effort.

My money is on ‘unreliable voter’ as the through line that will connect those that are taken and at the very least harassed and abused by law and/or financial enforcement officers.

Hmm... Best I can do is Ghana.
