This has been a long standing conspiracy theory amongst right wing talk show hosts and other people. Basically the claim is that FEMA will imprison lots of people especially those with far right views using a emergency as a pretext. This conspiracy theory has been widely debunked already.

The interesting thing is now something like the conspiracy theory may happen in real life except ran by ICE instead of FEMA. I’m curious how people who previously propagated this conspiracy theory feel about Trump’s plan for a mass deportation. If you know anyone who’s into this conspiracy theory would you be able to ask them their thoughts on the FEMA camps and then bring up Trump’s mass deportation plan. I’m curious how’d they’d react. Let’s not assume because everyone is different. While trying to research this question I found one article from the right that showed deep concern about Trump’s plan: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/20/deep-state-wants-terminate-constitution/ but I can’t really find much information otherwise.

    “Bidens shouldn’t have let it happen”. Come on. Pew research shows immigration rose, but not to some new peak. The world is going to shit due to everything.

    I don’t think facts will dissuade you. So here’s a national landmark instead:

    Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

    Statue of LIBERTY. Hopefully it’ll still be up & relevant in 4 years if we don’t destroy one another…

      A poem on a statue isn’t law and often times isn’t good advice for all situations
