This trash recently appeared on my Facebook feed:
Jim Stewartson, author of the newsletter MindWar: The Psychological War on Democracy, has already done the math on this “100 million deportations” number, so I’ll simply quote the figures from his recent piece, Happy Race War! (Or anything but the Epstein Files):
To put this number in perspective:
- The total number of undocumented immigrants in America is about 14 million.
- The total number of foreign-born people in America—including naturalized citizens—is about 53 million.
- The total number of Black and Hispanic people in America is about 110 million.
- 100 million is almost a third of the total U.S. population.
- Millions would necessarily die in any such process.
- The economy would collapse.
And yeah, Yours Truly, although legally here, would probably get included in that number, all for the sole reason that I probably don’t fit in the current administration’s view of the sort of people they’d like to see remaining in this country.
The “besieged by the third world” line comes straight from the 1973 dystopian fiction / racist manual Le Camp de Saints (published in English as The Camp of the Saints), which former Trump strategist Steve Bannon uses as a reference (as do many high-ranking bigots).
Expect more of this as the administration ramps up with race war in Minnesota.
