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.

    Economic meltdown, most of the population has no one that would take them so they will end up either in camps in failed/failing countries or inside the US itself.

    Also getting the white population to agree to do it would be a big lift. The majority would passively oppose and a minority would go full on underground railroad/insurgency.

    Only a minority would be totally on board.

      and theres already animosity towards white people as it is: affluenza, white privelege. this will make them even more of a target. they might keep around poc collaborators(aka right wingers that love to have that privelege)

      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.

          The same vibes can lead to feeling on board with mass deportation.

            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.
