Trump says he will outlaw homelessness and arrest everyone who refuses to comply. He will then give them the option to get out of jail to be relocated to new tent cities elsewhere where he will take care of their needs.

This fascist has shown us who he is for a long time.

(8,843 posts)he lacks empathy, compassion, and remorse...he had no problem "disappearing" 300,000 covid deaths, separating families, and caging babies...and because he's a malicious revenge-fueled sadist, rounding up the homeless and transporting them to tent cities
(a la Hitler ), well, life doesn't get any better than that...

(58,785 posts)Not that more is needed, but because it came to mind -- shortly before he was nominated for president he said he didn't care that the "Central Park Five" he'd tried to get "lynched" and were wrongly convicted in 1989 were proven innocent, they should be executed anyway.
But, hey, Tweedledum, Tweedledee.... What is the strange power charismatic liars have?

(1,204 posts)I've seen this before - "successful" people with a sibling whose life was ruined by drugs and alcohol. Some will respond not with compassion, or the usual feelings of guilt and loss - but hatred. Contempt. This is the inner core of the dark conservative heart.

Nothing he says means anything. He is a gaping void. A giant black hole of narcissism.

(8,103 posts)If this creature gets "elected" once again, we will be in a world of hurt. He's on video as saying he admires the earth's worst living authoritarian figures, because of the crushing obedience they demand from their people. That is what he will do to get us to obey the rules that he will make all on his own.
He will arrest those that oppose him, execute some of them, and dispose of those that get in his way, or spoil the optics of his male, "Christian" world. The GOP is in place to help him. He has the SC. He's not kidding.
What will we do? Look the other way? Take Germany as our example of how not to handle it. Hitler arose with the consent of most of the people, who preferred to look the other way rather than say no, you can't treat my neighbor that way. They felt like he was bringing prosperity to them, so as long as they fell into the right box, they didn't care.
Hitler shot the physically ill. He totally deprived Jews of the ability to exist, and those that didn't leave, died. This was evil personified, and look what happened to Germany. His last orders were to decimate the infrastructure of his own country. Only the disobedience of his officers prevented that from happening. But, he wanted all of Germany razed to the ground, that's how much he hated his own citizens.
Donald Trump is the single most threat to our country. The GOP has chosen, G-d knows why, to support him like he has Hitler-like power. There is no excuse for these idiots.
Donald needs to be convicted and thrown into jail. If he gets reelected, the most we can hope for is Civil War 2.

(4,442 posts)It's a simple, straightforward "solution", which they can easily imagine will have the desired effect of eliminating the need to see or interact (ever) with anyone who is homeless. His main selling point is their removal. So, it does not take much of an imagination for the plan to be "attractive".
After all, why actually solve a problem when you can suggest a mind-numbingly simple "solution" that can possibly benefit one's "friends"? "Build a wall!"
Someone has to buy land in the middle of nowhere. Someone has to build the tent cities. Someone has to cater the food. Someone has to provide sanitation. There is a lot of room for no-bid contracts being issued Jared or the ilk that Trump runs with.
This will even be dual purpose. He can pivot later and claim that this could be used to house "the illegals";i.e., more money, more contracts, and more grift.
This is Trump trying out "Build a Wall!" version 2.0 . Is it enough to get him re-elected, though? I don't know. Maybe, but that depends on Fox News and how much they demonize homeless people and immigrants in the next two years. They have immigrants covered.
If Trump's rhetoric continues in this vein, it probably means that he is getting a positive response from his crowds and base, a response large enough that he wants to amplify the message. Time will tell.

Clue: homeless people don't vote, so they don't matter at all to him...not worth more than an empty gesture (or should I say jester?).
The jester speaks and his base listens, but he knows they will never remember.

(3,767 posts)He throws in: "Many of them don't want that(rehabilitation)"
That goes right in line with the takers and gamers of government help. They don't want to work, etc. Meanwhile, the BIGGEST takers are in all the red states. Fucking unbelievable.
How does he even know that many of them don't want that? He's just whining because NY hates his loathsome, old, wannabe nazi, carcass.

(1,495 posts)Americans have regarding the preventable death of vulnerable and elderly people.
Thousands of Americans are still dying of Covid every week and people who claim to care about human life are running around spreading it without a care in the world.
I just saw a tweet from a children's hospital that they would no longer require masking. At a hospital! Where very ill children have to get treatment. This is a culling at this point. Anyone old, weak, sick, immune compromised is marked for death. No one speaks up for them anymore.
Everybody needs to read Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning before it's too late.
