Imagine pissing off a group of people so large that they exist in every major city and who have nothing to lose and nothing to fear. Plus some are crazy, hungry and desperate. Would you walk around their camp?

Yeah, but they don’t/can’t vote while homeless, so it’s a win for him.

Yes they can.

They “technically” can, but the system is designed so no ID, no permanent address, no voting, they will find a way to make it nearly impossible and most homeless people don’t have the means to find the poll stations etc and navigate the system that was designed to defeat them.

I mean. At least in my city there’s signs that get posted all over the neighborhoods for polling places… I mean… it would be hard to ignore it…
But I do get your point.

Sure. Vote… That’s the problem, the voting thing. Not the fact that there are crazy homeless camping in every city who know exactly who to blame for their despair.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I was trying to answer the question about why Trump might do this - what’s in it for this regime.
I mean, the people who will be turfed out onto the streets overwhelmingly vote democrat. By making them homeless, he’s depriving them of their vote. Disenfranchisement is part of his plan.
And a further thought: making more people homeless and desperate creates chaos and makes his call for stronger law enforcement will resonate with more people.
His cruelty knows no bounds. And his fascist regime will do anything to rig the vote to retain power.

Uhh, that’s an evil angle I hadn’t thought about. One would think that an American would not go there on purpose. Greed yes, but not planned on purpose. If that’s really the case, wow! Just wow.
