Slavery was no big deal.

u/LegislativeLariat Wisconsin 8d ago
Fun fact, it's still legal for the US government to take slaves and Representatives like Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) have been talking about taking undocumented immigrants and enemies of the Trump administration and using them as slave labor as they have 'committed crimes'.
- Section 1
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
- Section 2
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

I believe this is far more likely than people expect. Basically, turn undocumented labor into slave labor (or to "pay off" their prison costs).

u/greenskinmarch 8d ago
Another form of legally sanctioned slavery is conscription. For example Putin has enslaved millions of Russians to fight in Ukraine and about a million of those slaves have already died on the job.
Everyone knows Putin is a war criminal to Ukraine but if you consider conscription as slavery he's a war criminal to Russians too.

Make no mistake, thats exactly why theyre building these camps and rounding up immigrants.
It will be a short walk to them giving some bullshit about letting companies and individuals "take the tax burden on themselves" by housing and feeding the migrants, and of course have the ability to force them into labor.
Then boom, right back into the slave trade.

u/LegislativeLariat Wisconsin 8d ago
Van Orden has been clear he doesn't just want immigrants in the camps and that US citizens should also go into them for suitable crimes. He also has talked about how defying Trump is likely inherently illegal due to us being in a state of emergency due to 'invasion'.
He's also said he only wants military spending that 'puts lead in bad guys heads', that we need to turn the Department of Defense back into the Department of War, and that colleges need to close down and be turned into job training programs that hand out certificates that qualify 'graduates' for specific jobs as determined by the GOP.
There's a good chance your state's business owners will have to come across the state line and pay Wisconsin sales tax for their slaves if he gets his way.

I just want to make it clear here that this isn't hyperbole, picking winners and losers based on loyalty is literally textbook fascist economic policy:
An important aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigism, meaning an economy where the government often subsidizes favorable companies and exerts strong directive influence over investment, as opposed to having a merely regulatory role. In general, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state.

Under normal circumstances, that document would be grounds for immediate impeachment and removal.

Every morning for the past 10+ years, I get up and walk into my kitchen to make coffee. I've always say "hey google what's the news?" and it tells me from the news sources I have chosen, those being NPR and BBC.
So 3 times now over the past month it's removed NPR and replaced it with Reuters who uses an AI voice to read the news. I've had to go into my account settings and fix my news sources.
You will have a hard time convening me this isn't some fuckery Google is doing because Trump wants NPR dead.

Well, he certainly had enough of them bending over for him when he got re-elected. I guess money can't buy spines.

I like to think that Trump will text whoever runs that spreadsheet at 1am while taking a shit telling them to move x company down 5 rows because of something they did to piss him off.

Any administration that tracks LOYALTY as any form of measurement for ANY decision making should be removed from power. That is pure fascism and a direct threat to the Constitution and the nation as a whole. And those companies which stand at the top of such a list should be blacklisted by any American who values their freedom and rights.

He's so weird about that loyalty thing and doesn't seem to realize that the only people who care that much about it are criminals who need cooperation and enabling with their criminality and need to not be ratted out.

“If groups/companies want to start advocating more now for the tax bill or additional administration priorities, we will take that into account in our grading,” the official added.
Can you even get more corrupt than this?!
