In fascism, when the numbers get too low, the criteria changes. They’ll start figuring out how to deport legal immigrants next, or whoever the next most vulnerable group is. They will openly deny it and then they’ll just do it, in standard gaslighting fashion.

We are ALL on the list. They chip away at whoever is easiest to target next. They villainize the immigrants, then the religiously different (Muslims, Jews, etc.), then the political enemies, threats or even perceived threats, even within the MAGA camp, and so forth. They just start with the lowest hanging fruit. They won’t stop until the orchard is completely stripped and burned down. There are the more safe and less safe but ultimately NO ONE is safe.
