It is a national emergency, but it looks like the fascist outplayed the institutions.
The answer is always the same, 1/3 of Americans support it, 1/3 of Americans don’t care.
Because everyone has apparently become so numbed out to the situation that every new emergency gets less and less passionate resistance against it from the people in charge. Trumps first term was tame af compared to what he’s done the first year of his second term. And I feel like there was far more congressional push back and outrage and resistance then. Now everyone just seems too burnt out to even put up a real fight. Just some lip service of “c’mon that’s not cool” but nobody really willing to put anything on the line to prevent it. The *people* are pissed, our elected officials are not doing what’s in the people’s best interest, they’re not doing their job. *cough cough* *Schumer and Jefferies*
Because centrists Democrats like Schumer and the media class are on the same team as Trump.
Because Americans don’t care. Project 2025 spelled it all out and STILL the masses failed. There were still people who voted third party or sat out in protests.SMH. Fools.
Middle class white people don’t care because they don’t think it will be for them.
They’re “Warehouses” not concentration camps. /s
Because the media is owned by billionaires and has very publicly sided with the pedophiles.
The revolution will not be televised.
Because the US media is in the pocket of the White House and won’t print stories that may bring Trump’s dictatorial ambitions into the minds of the masses.
Every WEEK we get some constitutional crisis that would END a democratic presidency. It is a national Emergency. People are free to ADD IT TO THE PILE.
Until shit shifts significantly in Congress, there is no legal path to stopping him. 60% of Congress is either backing him or complicit. His administration just ignores any court order they receive to stop. The system is not designed to handle an entire party being united in setting the constitution on FIRE.
So the options are 1) make noise so they know we’re angry, not really expecting anything to change in the immediate 2) hope we have midterms and that they swing enough that we can throw them out on their ass 3) options that are less than legal, which I cannot elaborate on further without mean messages from Reddit mods and a visit from the secret service.
Before mods or government officials put their coffee down to act, I’m doing 1 and 2. I bring up 3 because it is important to be aware that the non-legal always exists and the less realistic the legal options get, the more likely the illegal one occurs. Totalitarian reigns end one way. Trump is only acting like a dictator because his enablers are allowing it. There are still legal levers to try.
Because the news and media organization are complicit and bought by people like the sinclair group.
Because the frog is boiled slowly.
That’s why the ONLY way to derail the dictatorship is to goad them to reveal their brutality. Extreme action is the only way to achieve that.
I dunno, why did 6-7 million Democratic voters decide sitting out the election was a good idea?
Because our media are complicit.
1/3rd of the population likes it.
1/3rd of the population thinks everything will somehow just be ok and would rather stay out of it
1/3rd of the population are angry and doing something.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Because most of the media is in his pocket.
There’s about 50 hair-on-fire national emergencies happening at once, so it all becomes a sort of soup of emergency.
I’ve posted this before, but 10 years ago I often couldn’t comprehend how the Nazis could come to power and then esclate their campaign of hate and genocide without people rebelling against it. It just didn’t make any sense to me.
I don’t really have that much trouble imagining it nowadays.
Why isn’t the cost of all of this being looked at? They are spending billions on immigrants and refugees, illegal and legal. All of that money could have been spent on actually making America a bit better instead of making it a fascist hellhole.
Because the water felt lukewarm back then…🐸
[By the way, here’s where the Nazis started their first consolidation with the Reichstag Fire Decree. We definitely hit every item on that list…](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_Fire_Decree)
We didn’t treat his violent coup attempt in 2021 as a national emergency so a few camps here or there aren’t going to trigger that.
The media in this country died in 2016 and was replaced by a bunch of buffoons who’d rather report of stuff that isn’t important but to one or two families. What’s happening with Savannah is awful, but it’s not wall to wall worthy when you’ve got authoritarianism making daily advances. We deserve better.
The media billoinaire is freinds with the private prisons billionaire
Because Americans don’t care
Because national emergencies are handled by the federal government. When the federal government’s action is a national emergency there is no plan of action.
One of many ways empires fall; our constitution is too old and too weak.
Because no one knows about it. The media is silent. Social media is being censored. The Democratic party is so scared of being as accused of being soft on illegal immigration they won’t make any noise. What ICE is doing publicly is so over the top activists aren’t able to focus on everything else that’s happening.
There are endless court documents detailing just how fucking horrible the situation in these camps are, but what normal people are reading through those? Other than that almost everyone in a position to speak out is failing our country right now.
All we can do is refuse to be silent and let people be comfortable. That and do everything in our power to get Democratic candidates who are speaking up through the primary and into the general election. Don’t complain about the bad Democrats, that’s pointless, everyone already knows Chuck Schumer is failing the test. We have to actively work to replace them with candidates who will unapologetically fight to stop this.
Because 77 million Americans plus the majority of our current government openly supports nazi ideology, pedophilia, plus nazi style prison camps
Building concentration camps in the Third Reich was not a topic for discussions, people in Germany largely ignored it. The Nazis learned from this and moved camps into occupied territories.
History repeats itself. USA is sending people to other countries into camps. And the media is not talking about it.
On top, Congress can shut this down, but is complicit in letting ~~Hitler~~ Trump do whatever he wants.
Media and the democrats have no spine. The ones who can/want to do anything are drowning in bills and unemployment. The gap between the rich snd poor is so wide you cant do anything anymore. GL to Americans.
Because things haven’t gotten bad enough for the average person here yet. It’s as simple as that.
Because MAGA want these camps. MAGA love the idea of Nazi Germany 2.0
After his latedt video, I don’t think its for immigrants…
Wasn’t far right agitator Alex jones harping on about fema concentration camps for years? Typical pedo projection
Really tired of these „Why aren’t people freaking out more?“ articles. People ARE freaked out, the media is surpressing stories, the government is run by a gang of war criminals and sex traffickers and the majority of us aren’t really that excited to get gunned down in the streets by our neighbors.
maybe because your neighbours voted him in and want this? Fuck sake America wake up and smell the roses
Because white people don’t think they’ll be sent to them
Got to go to work. Ain’t got time for a national emergency.
Is anyone else concerned that the Dems also seem to be just fine with all of this? Unless I’m missing something, they’ve been awfully quiet the past year, minus a few good people.
As compared to what? ICE murdering people? Nuclear treaties expiring or The feds taking over elections?
National emergency? It’s already been a full year of it.
Because the person building the vast concentration camps is also the one who declares national emergencies.
I’m an outsider, but seeing this happen in modern times makes me feel physically unwell.
It’s so evil and cruel.
Because the ruling class, which owns the Democrats, the Republicans, and the media, including social media, has every intention of using concentration camps to deal with troublesome elements as climate change worsens and climate migration increases.
As a nation we should be outraged! Yet the democrats remain passive and quiet. We are facing a fascist ruler who clearly plans to arrest anyone who does not fall in line with his fascist rule. We are all going to be at risk if our bank accounts lack the funds to live among the financially royal. He is out of control and all the failsafes have failed. Something has to be done before civil war ravaged this nation and another country moves in and occupies. The concentration camps are simply another sign that Americans as a whole have become used to not having to fight for their freedoms and I fear we will all pay with our lives.
In 1945 when the allied leaders arrived in Germany and occupied countries, there were 40,000 concentration camps located throughout these local communities. When the Americans, Canadian and British military leaders asked the local leaders why did they allow and tolerate these concentration camps most replied, „I didn’t know about it, „or „there was nothing I could do about.“ The military leaders said the smell alone of the burning humans, the screams by victims, the activities surrounding these camps were horrendous and obvious. The locals said there was nothing they could do about them.
Because the pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities in a single incident.
