Old thread from a year ago: Trump rep's DEFENSE of Muslim ban: "No different than when we put Japanese in camps."

Self quoting from that thread. Maybe my prophecy will come true!

Trump in a week "Japanese internment - and listen I love the Japanese people - wasn't even that bad. It wasn't that bad! They were allowed to go to school and play baseball. Baseball, can you believe it?"

 

[darkazcura]

We already knew this shit, Trump presidency just going forward as planned. I hope everyone who voted for him is happy with their decision. Nazis fucking disgust me.

They are happy. They defend this stuff and can't understand how it is racist. Literally. I'm a minority and I tell some of them that this is racist, and instead of understanding my viewpoint they try to explain to me how it isn't racist. Like what.

 

[wildfire]

I'm waiting for the people claiming we shouldn't be concerned about proTrump people starting a fascist movement to trickle into this thread.

 

[Nudull]

Nooo racism here, no siree bob.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Hard to read for information with the nonstop snark, but is this dude even affiliated with the administration other than as a supporter or donator? Or is Fox just putting on random idiots again - and he certainly seems to be an idiot.

They won't touch it because they know they'll be torched.

Calling out how this is racist will only make his supporters double down.

"Fuck it we are adding Vegans to the registry now!"

 

[Brakke]

Distressingly, internment might be legal precedent. The case is Korematsu. But like. The government paid reparations and formally apologized for internment multiple times.

Filthy to cite internment as anything but a deep national shame tho.

Fuck this. We can not tolerate shit like this.

Yep, instead the new CoD will be about shooting evil Muslim children who escaped their internment camps.

"People who call it Pop instead of Soda are next"

That would gut the Rust Belt voting bloc that put them in power...

You smug liberals must be stopped!

lol

seriously tho it's pop

 

[NEO0MJ]

Hey guys, let's not jump to any conclusions and call this guy a racist!

I mean, Islam isn't a race so?

 

[Log4Girlz]

God I hope they try this. Just try it you fucker. >:O

 

[Nanashrew]

I just can't take this anymore, GAF orz

This is horrific. I can't even come to grips with how terrifying this is.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I mean, Islam isn't a race so?

Sikhs and Hindus are attacked all the time for "looking Muslim" so?

 

[orochi91]

I mean, Islam isn't a race so?

I'd say it's become pretty racialized at this point.

Specifically used to categorize brown and/or Arab folks.

 

[Kyleripman]

Terrifying. Where do we go to make our voices heard against this? I called my House rep the other day to speak out against Bannon but I dont even know where to start with this.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Both sides are the same guyzzzzzzzz.

 

[RoboPlato]

I feel so powerless since the election. I wish there was some way to stop him.

Don't worry, if they try this then Trump supporters will join their fellow Americans, who are against this, in protesting.

I have....no faith in that base.

 

[EdibleKnife]

To support this must either A) know nothing about Japanese internment camps other than the Japanese were part of the Axis powers, we put them in camps, & the war ended so it worked or B) you just fucking despise anyone who doesn't look like you and putting them in camps is the best way to take them out of your sight. Likely both. There's no niceties to spare. The people who voted for him should be ashamed if they have even an ounce of empathy for other people and better be the first people opening their pockets or lining up in the streets to make sure this stops at the surrogate's insane and dangerous suggestion. Go ahead and tell me I'm being unfair and close minded but I have no problem saying you're a monster if you voted for Trump and do nothing about this.

 

[Damerman]

these are the tests ladies and gentlemen. they will continue to ever so gradually test us until we come to our own desensitized conclusions.

 

[Miletius]

Laughing at the ridiculousness of this right now. How anybody with any mental acuity at all can justify their beliefs with this twisted logic is beyond comprehensible.

pfft what kind of commie talk is this

 

[PInk Tape]

All this because of someone's religion.

These people want to punish American citizens for acts they had nothing to do with because all Muslims are "bad".

The fact that my brain is telling me that the media will not cover this in depth like they should is pissing me off.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I've lived all along the East Coast my whole life and I have never once heard someone call soda 'pop'. Is this like a Chicago thing or what?

 

[WrenchNinja]

How is this real life right now

 

[BahamutPT]

We're talking about a guy that openly supported waterboarding/torture.
So people expecting his supporters to turn on him because of this should drop those expectations.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Ohio says pop

 

[Infinite]

Welp I see you guys on the other side

 

[Kreuzader]

Added it to the OP, but posting here at the tail also:

Hey all - one relatively easy positive thing to oppose this would be donating to the ACLU; they're going to be really busy once Trump's inaugurated:

It's some weird Yankee thing from the mid-west.

I've given up understanding it.

 

[Yjynx]

Hmm where is Trump supporter now? I know for sure you guys reading this.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

And this is the shit they're saying aloud, on television.

What the fuck is going on in their minds?

Read the goddamn Outsiders!

 

[Frozenprince]

That reminds me.

That slapnuts guy, did he ever come back?

 

[Lois_Lane]

Ohio says pop

Not in Cincinnati but then maybe just black Cincinnati doesn't say it.

Who knows. They just simply dont care.

lol we do not call all soda "coke" in Texas come on now.

They say pop here too in Washington state

 

[EdibleKnife]

They're reading, they're just not answering because they know they fucked people (and more than likely don't give a single fuck that they did). Next thread where someone suggest that they fucked up voting for the orange bastard without any of this obviously horrid context, they'll show back up to justify themselves.
