Summary
Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” deserving 20-year sentences.
This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.
Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.
The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.
If you were waiting until it got to actual concentration camps before you were willing to call this fascism, well, here you go.
The camps aren’t on American soil so it’s only sparkling fascism.
The majority of the Nazis camps were not in Germany, so this is still “going by the book” as it were.
Yeah, I also should have used “sparkling authoritarianism” it would have been funnier and more contextual.
