    Oh, but there are options. Stalin used gulags while Hitler used Zyklon B. You don’t necessarily have to torture undesirable people with just violence, cold and starvation. I’m sure Americans will figure something out. Oh wait, they already have! Remember Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo bay. Just copy, paste and call it a day.

    Still waiting to see American presidents in Hague for these atrocities.

      I’m talking about options based on what they actually say they are going to do. Obviously, a “final solution” is a possibility as well. They just haven’t gone that far with their claims yet.

        Hate to break it to you, but what politicians say before elections and what they do afterwards are only vaguely associated, not actually correlated. Just because Trump said this and that doesn’t mean he’s actually going to follow through. I’m sure he’ll come up with more awful ways to abuse his power. Just give him some time.

          I’m not suggesting it won’t happen. I’m just saying what they have said will happen is horrific enough as it is.
