Here’s a theory: I don’t think they feel strongly, most of them, that women shouldn’t vote. And I think whatever level of performative outrage they profess, the actual process of deporting millions of people who didn’t actually do anything wrong will be alarming and off-putting to them, and they’ll try not to think about the reality.
The common thread that means that they adhere to these things, that makes them feel “right” when proposed by their leaders if not when put into action, is that if you’re stronger than someone, you can do whatever you want. They can’t do anything about it. You can tell someone “you can’t vote” or “get out of the country, it’s mine” or “take off your face mask” or “let me see your genitals so I know you’re actually whatever gender” and they can’t do anything about it. They have to do it, because you’re on the team that gets to say that stuff, and if not, then someone will come along and fuck them up.
That resonates on a deep level with them, and they really like it, enough to overlook some stuff that would otherwise make them uncomfortable.
I’ll add, deportation is not the goal. They will be temporarily housed in a location where they will need to work off their deportation cost, which will include a daily fee that is less than they can “earn” per day.
The end goal is to replace China with local manufacturing at “slave wage”
That may happen, but it is a mistake to call that the goal. There is no goal. They have no unified grand scheme for which step one is these horrors and step two is new horrors. They’re just super fucking racist. It is that simple. They are bigots, and this makes some neurons fire deep in their tribal-ape brains, so that’s what they’re doing today.
Stop looking for dry and rational motivations. That’s you, a smart person, inventing reasons another smart person might act like a stupid asshole. The null hypothesis is that they’re some kind of stupid asshole. If there’s any evidence contrary to that explanation, I must have missed it.
I hear what you’re saying. And, you may be very right. However, regardless of it being a PLAN, they are never going to be able to transport these people to a border. It’s a huge undertaking. Their private prison friends will accommodate the situation, and find it’s a very convenient way to get labor. Whether accidental, or on purpose.
All I’m saying is, that’s the place we will be, even if it’s not anyone’s plan today.
