Does anyone else feel so un-motivated at work ever since Trump became president? I can't sleep sometimes with the anxiety. I don't even want to try to be anything in this American society anymore if it means a criminal can be President. What's the point? Bad always wins. Good always suffers.

Buy a gun. Train.
Get connected with others. Make sure they get armed. Train with them.
Ya dude. It's easy to say. Military has been training everyday for quite a long time with fully automatics
Asymmetrical urban warfare is death for all. The last few decades have shown us this.

Fuck man, how did we get here?
I know how we go here but this timeline seems so quick.
Conservative wanted revenge or whatever it is.
And of course we will never see these people again. This is so blatently illegal its fucking mind blowing.
47 doesn't GaF. He's already ignoring UNANIMOUS scotus rulings. The law has failed. Nobody in power is willing to enforce anything.
He can declare them criminals with his mind. More efficient than a trial.
This is very much how it's going to happen.
England 2.0
We knew they wanted to go in a fascist direction, but I doubt many of us imagined they'd have the concentration camps up and running within three months. Bukele says he won't return anyone, even if innocent, from this prison in El Salvador, and the director of the prison says that no one who goes in will ever return to their community. So how do you keep shipping prisoners into a camp without any of them coming out, and without the camp filling up? Maybe we're further along with the Nazi program than most people realize.
We're on pace with Nazi Germany. If you use that as a template you'll expect:
- Concentration camps in about 60 days (milestone reached)
- October we're due to leave the UN/NATO
- Draft coming in 2027 if Trump remains in power
- In 2030 we'll annex Greenland
- By September 2031 we will start WW3
Now a lot can change between now and then and Trump isn't a young guy, but that's the blueprint to watch.
You want to talk about concentration camps? We're already expanding our own Black Site.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120, but that's about to change. HitlerPig has already signed an executive order to build a 30,000 bed detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and a $249 billion contract has been awarded. This will be in a remote corner of an island controlled by a hostile enemy, far out of the prying view of the courts, or the media. Anything could happen there, and nobody at home would ever known about it.
So they are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That's nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average. Clearly, they are intending to incarcerate far many people that they already do. I wonder who those people will be?
Perhaps the most worrisome piece of news is this: It is expected to be finished in 2030. Why would HitlerPig commit to such a facility if he wasnt going to be able to use it? Perhaps he expects to still be in power in 2030.
Uh, weren't y'all supposed to pull OUT of Gitmo?

No, not quite "won't return anyone even if they're innocent". It's more old-school witch hunt circular logic than that. It's "if they're in the prison, it's because they're a terrorist, and I will never let a terrorist free".

Isn’t Trump a convicted criminal? There would be a lot of happier people if they just sent him to El Salvador.
In a sane country people would be ripping the piping from their walls to use as weapons against a regime like this. Instead most people just don't notice or don't care. I actually don't see a future for my country anymore...
To be fair, organizing is tough and the United States is fucking big.
That said yeah more people should be mad.
~people aren't doing anything~
literally millions of Americans organizing nationwide protests and resistance events, uniting with friends and co-workers to strategize, with larger and larger turnouts with each passing week....

How does this not anger the domestic prison industrial complex?
It's not actually that powerful. Private prisons are all at the state level, and only some states.
They are opportunistic, not monopolistic, and the political pushback reversed the trend toward privatisation in most of the country.
Private prisons are a stain on our national character, they need to be shut down. but we have bigger shit to worry about right now.

With none of that pesky due process to determine who these "criminals" are I suppose.
No need to worry about that. Daddy Trump will just tell us who the criminals are!
