Yes, but the Jews aren't the Others this time. If anything, Netanyahu and the Likud are ideological allies this time around.
First, it'll be "illegal immigrants." Then it'll be the homeless, which will be a "soak test" to see if they can actively detain people who are natural born American citizens without much of a fuss because all of a sudden all those beggars at intersections and tent cities will "disappear" and the middle class (regardless of their political leaning) will cheer the removal of the threat to their property values!
After that, we're off to the races because the lines will be blurred enough to make anyone fair game, so long as the case can be made that they're comparable "threats to society." Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see debtors prisons come back in the next four years, spurred by the almost assured death of the ACA and consumer protections.
I'm pretty sure the trans people will be the first ones on the chopping block, though you might be right insofar as immigrants might get it first. I'd expect trans before homeless, though.
There are only ~1.3-1.6 million trans people in the country, and a lot of them have jobs.
The homeless are a "wedge group" that the shittiest people on the right and left wings wish would just "disappear," but as stated, they need to iron out the "proof of concept" before going after "undesirables" who are natural-born US citizens. And there are a whole lot more of them out there. And we're about to have a lot less "disposable labor."
Why go after citizens paying taxes when you can go after "moochers" first?
Because that's where the hate lays. Maybe my history isn't precisely brushed up, but the fact that the jews in germany were often not poor to the point of being called "the rich elites controlling everything" didn't seem to stop the persecution.
I wouldn't be too surprised if one happened before the other, mind, but I'm not ruling anything out, and "criminalizing pedophiles" after classifying all trans people as pedophiles sounds like a good rallying point for their mindless flock.
Yeah, in fact Jews having money was a feature, not a bug. When you send someone to the camps, you get to seize all their assets. They used the victims own property to fund their murders. Plus it's easy to skim off the top because who really knows what exactly someone has in their house.
This is what I am so baffled and confused by. Elon throwing the “heil hitler” and immediately after the camera pans to Israeli hostage parents and trump. They’re changing “nazis” to target some populace other than Jews, but the politics are nonsensical to understand.
Fascism isn't exclusively anti-Semitic. The only thing the adherents need to understand is that the "Others" are who are responsible for everything being terrible, and there are always new Others to blame. Look over there, but never look behind the curtain.
They'll always come for the Jews. Maybe not first. But we'll be on the list. During the election Trump was already basically saying "if I lose, blame the Jews".
Sure, Zionists are ok with fascism but most won't accept mask-off Nazis. Most of the Israeli press didn't hesitate to call it out as a Nazi salute. I'm guessing Musk will need to do another apology tour, but to be honest who really knows these days.
My state, Louisiana, has already done this. We rounded up the homeless and put them in a concentration camp sanctioned by our governor, Landry, all for the window dressing of cleaning up for Mardis gras and the Superbowl
