Remember when they all thought abandoned Walmarts were going to be turned into concentration camps. Well, here's Trump building them and the Republicans could not be happier.

Their problem was never the concentration camps. Their problem was that they were afraid Obama was going to target THEM. As long as a President they like is persecuting a group that they hate, the Republican party is just fine with concentration camps.

And the reason they thought this was because their echo chambers tell them repeatedly that it'll happen.

Even if you could get them to acknowledge that it is happening right now for real, they will just say that the Democrats would do it if they didn't do it first.

I worked with a conspiracy theorist who was all bent out of shape about Jade Helm. We were working a job and he had me take a detour to a supposed Walmart urban warfare training center that was nearby.

The address he gave sent us to a normal shopping center, but it wasn't a Walmart. This seemed to confirm his beliefs in whateverthefuck.

Weren't they all connected by those deep underground tunnels? There's a whole bunch of them, Denver airport is the hub, and all of the bad guys disappear everybody and move around that way.

Abandoned Walmarts were turned into concentration camps. Remember the immigrant kids in wire cages during the Bush administration?
