Comment on What do people who promoted the "FEMA camps" conspiracy theory think about Trump's mass deportation?

They don’t hate the idea of concentration camps. In fact, they like them if they’re for the people they’ve been trained to hate.

You’re right. I hope that maybe this could lead to a conversation about why putting people into camps is a bad idea. In my head I imagine starting a conservation with a conservative and they say why the FEMA camps are a bad idea then you could say how do you feel if you were put in one. Now ask how you’d think immigrants would feel when put in a camp. In reality things may not go how I imagine.

You’re relying on the right to be empathetic to immigrants, which they are not. Like not even a little, ever.

Because you’re assuming everyone thinks the same, so what would convince you would convince anyone else.
That isn’t true.

For sure people think differently. I agree when having a discussion with someone it’s important to learn how they think.
I must tell you I used to be on the right, I used to support Trump actually. Part of what made me more sympathetic to immigrants is meeting some and they told me their struggles and I gained empathy for their struggles and how difficult the system is.

bold of you to assume those that want immigrants in camps think immigrants are people
