    On Reddit, there was a post that outlined why this rando voted for Trump that had thousands of upvotes.

    The major complaint was the constant noise about things like BLM, DEI, LGBTQ, defund the police and hating private prisons.

    I can understand if this racist hates the first half. And I can understand if they also love sucking off cops.

    But why the fuck would anybody support a private prison? Literally a company that makes money off of people being punished?

      Because they’re certain that the people getting punished are heretics to their reactionary ideology.

      They see it as inferior people getting what they deserve, and since it’s privatized they imagine they’ll pay less for the privilege.

    I forsee criticism of trump being a arrestable offense in the near future, to fill out prison populations so prisoners can be used to replace the labor lost by the mass deportations.

      Conservatives will have a majority in all branches. Repealing or revising constitutional amendments isn’t out of the question, and there’s a lot of damage they can do before midterms (if there’s even a chance to vote in different people).

        hes already talking civil war and invading blue states with the national guard from red states.

        The countries fucked.

        and Democrats will just sit on the wayside watching, not learning anything, not changing anything.

          Based on their “assessment” of why they lost (specifically the politicians and DNC), I’m inclined to agree.

          I hope there’s people on the left working to provide a populist candidate, because I haven’t seen anything even remotely suggesting that’s happening, and I don’t see how we can hope to fix shit without it.

    Yay for prison slave labor advocates and private prisons. /s

    This is terrible. Seems like prisons are about to be overflowing with homeless people.
