Only 56% of Americans said that undocumented immigrants should be given a path to citizenship.
Funny coincidence, 100% of me supports putting 47% of Americans into reeducation camps.
no more half measures walter
I know a bunch of these people. They can’t be re-educated. They get the wall.
Nah it’s gonna need to be like 98% or more. Maybe anyone who isn’t an active dues-paying member of a socialist party and many who are. Some of em may graduate quickly but they’re all gonna need some work

In December 1942, a year after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and several months after Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast were subsequently “relocated” inland to U.S. detention camps, 48% of Americans believed the detainees should not be allowed to return to the Pacific coast after the war. Just 35% of Americans said they should be allowed to go back.
This country has always been evil
FDR was by far the best President in the history of the United States, and it’s not even close, but even he had concentration camps. The United States was always evil.
FDR also compromised on the New Deal, excluding African Americans from many new deal programs that would have helped, and also his administration made segregation country-wide via the Federal Housing Administration and their red-lining policies (see the book The Color of Law)
Not In My Neighborhood is also an excellent book about the history of redlining.
I would say Lincoln isn’t that far away
Committed genocide against indigenous people
that’s every US president
What we needed was a John Brown presidency but apparently it’s illegal to be that based.
As did FDR
When the Dem leadership started embracing Trump’s immigration policies, they took a huge chunk of their liberal base with them. First, it was fascist to support Trump’s policies and only conservatives supported them. Now, libs joined them because they have zero principles, they can’t even keep up the pretense of opposing policies that they themselves labeled fascist barely 4 years ago.
I have whiplash from how fast the dems got on board with being the republicans they railed against 4 years ago.
I’m not crazy and remembering something wrong, right? Immigration was a huge issue in 2016, a big thing being talked about. But I don’t remember even ONCE Hillary trying to outflank Trump from the right on immigration.
She didn’t
But like many other issues, Dems ‘let’ Conservatives push everyone right
40 years ago, ‘illegal immigration’ was a non issue to everyone really
Well, also, 40 years ago NAFTA wasn’t a thing, so the people who are now bloodthirsty maniacs were then stably employed and had no practical reason for their hate.
For Fox News viewers it’s 82%. I’m Jewish so I was curious about this…
Four in ten Jewish Americans (39%)
Great just great. The lessons of the Holocaust have already been forgotten by American Jews.

Rounding Up Illegal Immigrants into Militarized Encampments
Americans are divided over support for a policy that would round up and deport immigrants who are in the country illegally, even if it takes setting up encampments guarded by the U.S. military (47% favor, 50% oppose). Nearly eight in ten Republicans (79%) favor putting undocumented immigrants in encampments, compared with 47% of independents and 22% of Democrats.
The vast majority of Americans who most trust far-right news (91%) or Fox News (82%) favor militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants, compared with 44% of Americans who do not watch TV news and 36% who most trust mainstream TV news.
White evangelical Protestants (75%) are most likely to favor militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants, followed by the majority of white Catholics (61%), white mainline/non-evangelical Protestants (58%), and Latter-day Saints (56%). Among non-white Christians, around 47% of Hispanic Protestants, 42% of Black Protestants, and 33% of Hispanic Catholics favor this policy. Four in ten Jewish Americans (39%) and around three in ten unaffiliated Americans (32%) and other non-Christian religions (30%) also support militarized encampments. More than half of Americans who attend church weekly or more (57%) or at least a few times a year (51%) favor putting illegal immigrants in encampments, compared with 41% who seldom or never attend religious services.
Around seven in ten Christian nationalism Adherents and Sympathizers (71%) favor militarized encampments, compared with fewer than four in ten Rejecters and Skeptics (37%).
I’m not sure the lessons of the Holocaust have ever been learned outside of the Soviet Union.
Four in ten Jewish Americans (39%)
Well, at least that’s below average… bleak.
The one that drew my attention was Hispanic Catholics at 33%. Like, come on, you understand that we’re the ones they’re gonna put in the camps?
Yeah! “Nothing bad is going to happen to me.” — Those f@king people 😂
“But I’m one of the good ones! They’ll never put me in a camp!”
Fucking insanity. Like, I speak perfect English, I and one of my parents are both natural born citizens, and none of that shit is going to matter once they start rounding up people that look like me. How dumb do you have to be to think they’ll stop at undocumented immigrants once they get a taste for it?
They’ll find out that mejorando la raza means fuck-all in this country
White evangelical Protestants (75%) are most likely to favor militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants
Fucking WASPs. I should have known but I’m still enraged.
It is hard to not produce hot takes that veer too close to anti-semitisim
My enemy is not the American ruling class, my enemy is the American people

America is one step away from full on Fourth Reich.
Already is on foreign policy. Domestically, it just isn’t perfectly clear yet who the “undesirable groups” will be, because this must be something that both parties agree on and there will be some small disagreements.
The gusanos are one group that’s absolutely unclear on this matter. Their One of the Good Ones card is going to be declined at the border, and they’ll be subjected to the frothing racist hatred they’ve stoked against their countrymen.
Wiemar Republic hours. It’s felt like that for years.
Fourthmeal Reich
So the Kithkin from Shadowmoor?
Trump’s winning then.
Also it should be noted just how much and how far the Democrats and #resistance libs have enabled this anti immigrant attitude and behaviour. As an outsider it’s incredibly obvious. We went from libs in 2016 saying that no human is illegal and having Anthony Bourdain (may his soul rest in peace) doing episodes of his restaurant and cooking shows in support of the immigrant community, to Kamala Harris plagiarising Trump’s 2016 rhetoric and making up myths about how immigrants are bringing crime and drugs (in fentanyl) to the USA. How far they have fallen in less than a decade. Never forget that. Enablers often get off scot-free when they are just as guilty.
They didn’t have far to fall, if you look back far enough. In 2004 Democrats ran on running the Iraq invasion more competently
Liberals are like 1942 Germans who think the Nazis are bad because the death camps are spending too much money and aren’t running efficiently enough, and because the poor SS soldiers don’t get mental healthcare from all the hard work they do
Anthony Bourdain (may his soul rest in peace)
No

Republicans want to round up all the brown people into death camps, whereas the democrats want to round up all the Chinese people into death camps.
That includes a lot of Blue MAGA too.
When they open the death camps for the Chinese, liberals will be fighting each other to get hired as executioners
Maybe the survey is from a poor sour-
PRRI survey
Maybe it’s a small samp-
The survey was conducted among a representative sample of 5,027 adults (age 18 and up) living in all 50 states in the United States, who are part of Ipsos’s KnowledgePanel and an additional 325 who were recruited by Ipsos using opt-in survey panels to increase the sample sizes in smaller states. Interviews were conducted online between August 16 and September 4, 2024
w h a t t h e f u c k
5000 is honestly a pretty small sample size of such a populous country, and this whole report is about Religion and its affects in politics, which explains why the religious breakdown focus is so stand-out bizarre. I see even in the full report absolutely no methodological breakdown for things like income, urban/suburban/rural, by design excludes all of the most marginalized including lumpen and homeless and those without USPS access database records and those without internet to do their survey, (and those who wouldn’t be arsed for this kind of stuff) etc. it also barely has anyone in the 18-29 age group, and even in the full report (and so the article) specifically doesn’t mention generation breakdowns when talking about the immigration questions, even though it breaks down the generation percentages in (some) of the other sections, like regarding Israel/Palestine. Honestly there’s a lot that pisses me off about this “study” and report. Whole thing looks ASS and is so obtuse about its framings, specifically trying to illustrate “christian nationalism” and its effects on politics. The longer report is barely even clearer on some of the critical breakdowns of age, etc. and the selection is just emailing people in USPS samples along their weird focus and also getting hundreds of self-selected opt-ins. And the religious focus is just. weird. as. hell.
Survey finds a large amount of amerikkkans are hitleritesI support putting evangelicals in gulags
can we put that 47% into camps instead
Death to (47% of) Amerikkka
This is literally already happening and has been since at least Bush and Obama? Does people think the border camps are operated and manned through pinky promises and good-faith dialogue? ICE uses boxes of chocolates and impassioned pleas? I guess this is support of it continuing?
wait is this just polling US Christians? Did they go to a bunch of churches what is this breakdown lol. Its “methodology” section just names a Stanford-linked research company but doesn’t actually say anything about their criteria here. The number is lower for “unaffiliated” but there’s no breakdown of how many of each of these groups proportionally were asked what.
it is lmao, this whole report is constantly relating things to “christian nationalism” and its affects on politics. what trash. And there’s no class (or even income) or living environment (urban, rural, suburban, gated fcking community) breakdown or anything, and definitely includes no homeless and lumpen areas, is so fixated on religion, and the 18-29 age group is vanishingly small compared to olders — and they totally avoid breaking down the generational percentages on a few questions including this one. This whole report is garbage, I read the actual report and it doesn’t clarify itself for shit, its selection process just blindly assures that it is ‘representative’(enough to say “percentage of americans”) when they’re just emailing people from USPS databases with an additional 315 opt-in which is its own selection type (5000 people no less, to extrapolate to the whole country in all its differing segments for which their breakdown is barely existent except for Christianity types and intersections).
And it is all so obtuse in its focus and bent on this “christian nationalism,” and questions are either vague as to be pointless or weirdly aggressively leading to try to bend it toward that frame and then burying the contextual construction of the series of questions built around it, and their component subquestions, in different places in the text or in separate graphs (with some of the worst graphs I’ve ever seen, why did they do it this way?). And what little cohesion there was in the report this article removes by separating one part, which is broken down into meaningful demographics and extrapolated even less than the other sections even in the report itself, along these same bizarre obtuse lines. I really don’t trust this 5000 person religious-focused obtuse garbage to be able to say as it does “percent of americans.” This is fucking awful.
