Autists will be one of the first in the camps it seems. In fact, getting out of America should strongly be considered

    In fact, it would not surprise me if suddenly they start picking up random US citizens and just declare them autistic.

    I have my doubts about this because they are already doing this through ICE and they have said they are going to do it for people who disagree with the President regardless of their citizenship status.

    RFK’s HHS is not going to out-compete ICE to create a general gestapo model, it already exists, has for a long time, in multiple different modes. It’s just that it was much more polite before.

    I’m much more scared about keeping my passport up to date, and being denaturalized than I am about RFK’s goofy autism caregiver based genocidal ideas.

        Yeah he has. I am 50:50 on if he actually believes that or it’s shoe horning stuff into Trump’s policy agenda. I think he literally believes that we cannot work so how would labor camps even work? His whole “wellness farms” stuff was funny because bringing back RFK Jr. designed sanitoriums during a fascist austerity government after Regan happened is a nonstarter. I do not believe that RFK is going to be able to put together a network of camps and the mechanisms to round people up into them. ICE under Trump is less effective than under Biden/Obama but is more brazen. There’s like several steps that here that aren’t going to be easy, and it’s a game of numbers not just if you’ll get got by the RFK HHS but also if the RFK HHS will be able to get you at all.

        I think RFK’s average case success scenario for this is having some high profile arrests and claiming mission accomplished.

        Remember that these systems were actually made effective or outright built by competent technocratic ghouls during the Democrat run government years. Bush’s war in the middle east was a failure, Obama mechanized it and turned it into a success (politically speaking because he removed American troops from the political equation). Biden adopted Trump’s border policy and made it work effectively and proved it out in the stats and Democrats were complaining that the evil fascists of the GOP weren’t giving them credit for being good effective fascists.

      What about the HHS classifications/work providing a basis for categorization for Federal LE action, ‘rounding up’? Then they wouldn’t be competing, like that, but they both end up contributing. I’ve tried talking to people about this recently and was told off basically. “Don’t believe what you hear.” I think they said. (Started with talking about the statements about ADHD work camps.)

      Also, idk if this comes off as risky to discuss publicly given everything, but do you mean having your passport for leaving later or that you already have and keeping it current is important (because obviously). And where are you considering for places to go other than the U.S.?

      Sorry to bother you.
