    And that’s what he said when he was president last time.

    This time?

    Using the military to put undocumented migrants in concentration camps. Not even trying to hide that fact.

      Using the military to put undocumented migrants anyone who looks “funny” in concentration camps.

        You are correct. If you’re a citizen and a cop decides you’re one of “them,” good luck convincing them your ID is genuine. If you’re carrying it on you.

          “Papers, please.”

          I’ve told my visibly brown partner that he has to have his passport on him at all times because that’s where we are, now. I’m hoping it will be enough.

            I hope so for both of your sakes because it just takes one racist power tripping cop.

              Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.

              I just don’t understand people. My partner’s brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I’m hoping we don’t have to rely on him for anything but I’m also weirdly grateful that he’s my partner’s brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.

                Yes, that’s me. Got my first job interview tomorrow. At 3:30 am. Apparently the Earth isn’t as flat as certain people on the internet would have you believe.

                And yeah, there were a surprising number of brown people who voted for Trump, especially men. I don’t get it. He hasn’t been even a little secretive about what his plans are. They really don’t get that they could get caught up in this insane net of Trump’s.

          And every time you have to show your documents to law enforcement, maybe this is the time you don’t get them back.

    Fourth panel should be a duplicate of the first panel, except saying “Trump will establish a fascist dictatorship, and that’s what I wanted!”

      Yeah. I don’t care how many posts I see saying trump voters are regretting their vote. I feel like that is a level of media bias to make those who voted against him feel a bit better. I’d be shocked if even 5% regretted their vote. Maybe in 18 months, just before midterms, things will be different. I think it is more likely that the real problems won’t start until after the midterms though.

      Edit: some words

        By 2026, there will have been US military deployed in the states for a long time, and everyone will have been sufficiently terrorized by arrests and detentions. Then it’ll be “another stolen election, we have to postpone the midterms, because even the US military can’t stop the steal.”

    The most unbelievable part of this is the magat having a crisis after learning (somehow, always for the first time) about Trump’s Hitler-worship. Since it hasn’t directly affected the magat yet, no way he’s going to have the self awareness to freak out.
