The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.
Some of us are a 2 hour drive from a small city, 4 from a big one. My state capital building is almost 3 hours from me.

If he is the murderer, which hasn't been proven, he has a kill count of one. The murderer he allegedly killed was responsible for thousands of deaths.
I hope you're right!
I respect your perspective, but I'm not convinced. Everyone I've seen say that just asserts it as fact, even though there is no shortage of demagogues in the alt-right. So many people think this ends with Trump and aren't planning for what comes next, it seems.
I was curious, so I tried to find the article. Here is an excerpt from NPR that I found first:
Panama sends 97 U.S. deportees to migrant camp after they refused to be repatriated
PANAMA CITY — Panama transferred about one-third of the deportees from various nations it had received from the United States to a camp in its Darien province Wednesday, an area that became the main thoroughfare for migrants traveling from South America to the U.S. border in recent years, security officials said late Wednesday.
The migrants sent to Darien had refused to voluntarily be repatriated to their countries and will be held there until third countries can be found to take them, said a Panamanian official familiar with the situation who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the US sent the deportees to Panama, and all of this is happening at their governments discretion. Obviously they are in this situation because of the US, which I am not happy about, but it doesn't seem to follow that the Trump regime is sending people to concentration camps based on this event.
Edit: Someone else linked the original article, which has more details.
Context, the deportees aren't even all from Central / South America. At least one mentioned was Iranian. So it seems the US is just sending people to Panama who didn't even necessarily originate from there, so that the US doesn't have to deal with them anymore. Seems disgusting.
The chatter I hear around the office would disagree. People got what they voted for, are elated, and laughing.
Hi, friend. Lemmy is diverse, so I understand if English isn't your first language. The adjective, "despicable," in the title is affecting the word, "video," not the word, "deported."
While deportations are obviously not inherently immoral, this article is drawing attention to how the White House posted a video, which depicts our fellow human beings who are likely being separated from their families, as an attempt to amuse their base with what they think is humorous. I'm sure we can both agree this is despicable.
If Trump had written project 2025, I might be more inclined to think that. Trump on his own is what his first term was.
I just don't believe that, sorry. Nothing special about Vance, I just think all anyone would have to do is lean into Trump as a martyr. Even a freak accident would be painted as the work of radical leftists, and Vance or whoever would capitalize.
In the sense that Twitter doesn't exist anymore, yes.

Exactly why I keep saying in other threads that this problem doesn't die with Trump. The damage is done, and the whisperers just need a new puppet once Trump kicks the bucket.
