This movie is terrifying. It shows a more modern police state in action. It is so close to where the USA is getting. We are a few steps from it, and there won't be any day when there is a huge jump of suppression, just inch by inch

The money he just signed into law for secret police is a real worry.

ICE budget = 45B specifically for building concentration camps they're calling "centers".
Bureau of Prisons = 9B for EVERYTHING THEY DO, which already includes way too fucking many prisons.
How many camps do you think they can build for 5x the BoP's entire budget? Who do you suppose they plan on putting there?
Oh, and the president "hates" half the country. Probably your half. I'm sure that's just "locker room talk" though, right?

This is a documentary, you mean?

Judging by the fact that I can almost read that bottom line, is this a poster from the Netherlands?

Ah, the "binnenkort in de bioscoop" seemed dutch based off of the jokes, and it was. The movie itself sounds well worth a watch from your post though.

The US has too many people and too few law enforcement officers to make this a reality in the way its often depicted in films and tv. Just look at how badly protesters have outnumbered authorities in recent weeks. Quite honestly, ICE and the police are fortunate we’ve chosen peace.

Trump just got a force larger than the marine corps okayed. It's his own private army. Larger budget than all armies other than USA and China. Current ICE is nothing. Budget is now greater than Russia entire military spending. And people reacting violently to it will play right into his hands. We are fcked.

He can have a private army all he wants. The army army seems to not be amused with his shit.

When do you think the army will step in. This was my point about inch by inch. Ice is already doing illegal stuff, do you expect the army to be on the street next week stopping them?

I don’t know if they’ll step in so much as stand down.
