[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know dangood and well. They have talked about denaturalizing American citizens to deport them.... If you don't want to believe it, that's fine. But I'm not going to sit here and bring out project 2025 and highlight every area that's going to impact your life. Either you figure it out or don't I really don't care. Like I said, I'm white and I really am nothing to worry about[/quote]

You are the one scaring already every anxious people and making outrageous claim that they need to prepare for deportation. The burden of proof is on you.

Nevertheless, I looked at "project 2025", a 900 page document which I am sure you read very closely, and this is what I found:

[blah blah blah]

So, it's all about enforcing existing laws, and making sure there are sufficient resources to do so. Oh, there is not a single mention of "naturalized citizens" throughout the 900 pages.

Stephen Miller on X: "@JackPosobiec
Yes. We started a new denaturalization project under Trump. In 2025, expect it to be turbocharged."

Refers to the DoJ Civil Division’s "Denaturalization Section." Its current mandate is to go after specific groups of naturalized citizens who have offended morality by breaking certain laws, etc. But of course there are some Haitian immigrants in Ohio who would love to educate you on whether Trump's targeted spray is really that targeted, or that accurate. In a new order with no guardrails, the DoJ could be directed to go against any group. Who is going to stop that mandate?[/quote]

He is responding to this:

"We used to strip foreign-born anarchists and communists of citizenship and deport them. Laws still on the books. Just planting seeds"

As an naturalized citizen I am very familiar with this. There was a section on being a member of the communist party and similar.[/quote]

See, people who haven't lived under an authoritarian regime have no clue.

They will make it happen. They will make you a communist and kick you out. [/quote]

And even people who have read about authoritarian regimes understand how it works.

For people catching up, who may now care more than they did a week ago, you can read “on tyranny” by Timothy Snyder.  It’s a pretty quick read and will be available at any public library. [/quote]

I am one of the PPs and, if such thing existed, I would have a "doctorate in living under an authoritarian regime". You know, one where people are actually killed for their political views.  You are whipping yourself into a frenzy precisely because you have no idea what authoritarian regime looks like. You have convinced yourself that you live in extremely dangerous times while in fact you are extremely privileged in your safety.

But that doesn't matter. Please stop scaring people who are already very scared (people who didn't vote for Trump, clearly). They gain nothing from it.[/quote]

You should stop being so condescending. Trump is a wrecking ball and he hasn’t even been inaugurated. No one is saying this will happen today; Biden is certainly not going to implement such policies. Trump and his sycophants promised revenge and a dictatorship. Maybe it won’t come to pass, but unwise for people to behave the way too many Jews did in Austria and Germany when Hitler came to power and assume that everything will stay the same. If you truly lived under an authoritarian regime, you should understand better than most how quickly things can change. [/quote]

Pretty sure the Vienna Circle didn't figure Austria would become a dangerous place to live. Or a lot of Germans, for that matter. 
You're assuming that our civil structure, including the laws and the Constitution on which they are based, will continue to protect our political privilege. But the Supreme Court has taken steps that would have been unheard of in the past--in fact, Nixon would have never had to resign if we had the same court then that we do now. I heard on the radio the House is already setting up a formal investigation of Jack Smith. [/quote]
