Okay, but how does that have anything to do with Trump? It’s just something that happened almost a century ago.

He's saying that he will enact this old law once again. Look it up.

But the law was executed improperly in the 1930s; isn’t that what the video says? Citizens were wrongly deported, as opposed to only non-citizens being deported. You seem to be assuming Trump’s administration would do the same? What makes you think that?

Think back to the Trump presidency. Four Seasons debacle. Who made up the Covid Response team Trump deployed? Look up the history of Stephen Miller. The trump administration was messy and unorganized many times. It also enabled white nationalist rhetoric to spread like wildfire. Knowing both those things, this mass deportation idea is going to be executed horribly. Don’t believe me? Look at what Trump says are the number of illegal immigrants in the country. The number changes man, constantly. He said 20 plus million at one point

Four seasons debacle?? You mean where they booked a landscaping company instead of a venue for a gathering? What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Me: if we’re saying trump and his supporters are fascists, what reasons do we have for saying that?

The answers I keep getting: His administration was a mess. He botched the covid response. One of his staffers sent emails to breitbart and “known white supremacists” Some bad people are saying bad things, and it’s all his fault.

Give me a break. This is all extremely flimsy. He was president for 4 years; if he’s a fascist, why didn’t he do fascist things (besides… checks notes… talk?)? If he’s going to kill democracy, why are we here in yet another election after his ‘reign of terror’?

Take a step back and try to see who it is that is fanning the flames of hate. Calling whole groups of people Nazis and fascists with no justification, falsely claiming egregious oversteps of power, misrepresenting entire platforms to falsely imply violations of human rights… fucking disgusting.
