    “No no bro, it’s going to be totally voluntary, trust me, just watch as we offer it as an alternative to prison, and then criminalize things like ‘taking adderall’.”

      So your prediction is that the Trump administration is going to be rounding up people on adderall and sending them to camps.

      Yes or no — is this what you believe?

        The Trump administration’s intention is to criminalize certain behavior with plausible deniability that amounts to nothing more than an excuse to put specific people on psychiatric meds whom they want to put in these proposed work camps, in work camps. While ‘labor’ or ‘profit’ might be involved, the essential function will be, if seen through successfully, simply to hurt those who they think they can, like all fascists.

          Okay so I’ll rephrase my question. I would appreciate a YES or a NO response here.

          Do you think the Trump administration is going to create work camps and pick people to send there against their will?

            Yes, I certainly think they’re going to try, considering they’ve literally and explicitly stated they’re going to create work camps, the flurry of promises of revenge, of unlawful deportation, and their history with shipping US citizens off without regard for silly things like ‘law’, ‘precedent’, or ‘rights’.

            Do you think they’re not going to try literally exactly what they’ve said they’re going to do?
