Summary
Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” deserving 20-year sentences.
This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.
Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.
The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.
Ive heard a lot MAGAs defending themselves against charges of being Nazis by saying that there haven’t been concentration camps and round-ups of citizens, etc.
Do we really have to wait until they are arresting people exercising their free speech and sending them to concentration camps? Do we really have to wait until we see black smoke belching from prison incinerators, and catch the smell of roasting meat?
If we can see that we are already on that path, if those in charge are making all the moves to prepare for those outcomes by building camps (30,000 bed facility in Gitmo) or sending their current scapegoat victims to black sites in fascist countries without due process, or threatening to charge citizens who are exercising their free speech rights with terrorism, or ignoring judicial orders by saying “We dont care what the judges say,” etc., shouldn’t we do EVERYTHING possible to stop it now, BEFORE they ramp up the wholesale killing machines? Do we really have to let them actually murder millions of innocent people before we finally say “Gee, maybe they are Nazis. Why didn’t somebody do something about this a long time ago?”
Yes we do have to wait, because anything done before that will land you in jail. After they break society we can hunt them down like the animals they are.
