Oh for sure, I think if the migrant camps actually get built in time, the plan is for them to be held indefinitely while planned incompetence makes it take forever to determine if they're citizens or not.

All the time they're being "paid" $0.07/hr for manual labor.

But four years honestly just isn't enough time to do all that stuff. In four years everyone will be mad at trump again and even a bland moderate can beat him again.

Hopefully we choose someone better, but I don't think the DNC will let us choose.

I truly don't believe we'll be given a choice in 4 years. There are already talks of a 3rd Trump term. Even if that fails or Trump croaks, Vance is perfectly aligned to continue the mission.

By choice I meant about the Dem candidate.

If trump tries to cancel elections, large parts of the government and military wouldn't obey.

Even if he replaces generals with bootlickers, there's a lot of links in the chain of command till it gets to boots on the ground.

We just have to get shit sorted before warfare is all drones.

I thought those camps were already built? Like back in the Bush era. They called them secure unused railway facilities IIRC, but if you look at them from a different perspective... They look like concentration camps at the end of rail lines, out in the middle of nowhere.

Most were actually built under Obama.

It's just nowhere near the capacity.

Like, wherever you went to Highschool had like football or soccer games, right? They had the infrastructure to handle that.

You could not schedule the Super Bowl or World Cup there.
