Would the economy collapse or thrive? Would there be countries happy to accept the deportees? How would they even deport so many people?

Curious about your thoughts on the hypothetical.

    Only a minority would be totally on board.

    If by minority you mean <50%, then yes. But given how many people voted for Trump, the percentage could be substantially higher than 20%.

      Not every trump voter is 100% in board with his policies.

      A shocking amount of people are just floating through life on Vibes. They don’t know why they do things, it just feels like they should. This applies right up to the ballot box.

          Sure they can, until their cousins, spouses, and neighbors start disappearing, their coworkers, employees, and representatives.

          My city has plenty of racists, but even a casual racist might think twice when more than half the city is being deported.

            I mean, even some democrats are casual racists.

            Most racists are the type that says a racist joke and then tell you to calm down “it’s just a joke”, most aren’t the lynch mobs types.

              Exactly. They don’t want a white ethnostate, and they wouldn’t appreciate the level of totalitarianism it would take to pull off that kind of ethnic cleansing.

              Everybody’s a racist, it’s just to what degree. Just like everybody’s a hypocrite.
