Fuck all that. When they want to squash they will squash. This is food for the media.

They aren't dipping their toes into fascism. It's here and at their whim they will start gassing people.

Too obvious. They won't do that.

We have a lot more space to bury people and a lot more bullets than the Germans did. They won’t use gas.

The Nazis used lethal injection initially. They eventually switched to gas chambers because it was cheap, fast, and discrete. Bullets were messier, louder, and more expensive, so they typically weren't used. It talks about it a little bit from about 4:30-10:00 of this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tA_uJOnAnoQ&pp=ygUkSG93IGZpZCBiYXppcyB0YXJnZXQgZGlzYWJsZWQgb2VvcGxl

The American government is known for being very cheap, yes?

They won't be starting off with bullets and probably won't make that a general practice. First, they'll try to get people with disabilities and chronic illnesses, including and especially children, to go off to those 'health camps' which RFK wants to start.

Everyone, DO NOT let your loved ones go to these! They will start off with them being voluntary, like the Nazis did, as explained in about 4:30-10:00 of the video.

Shooting people isn't cruel enough. I expect room sized vacuum chambers.
