Would the economy collapse or thrive? Would there be countries happy to accept the deportees? How would they even deport so many people?

Curious about your thoughts on the hypothetical.

      Sure they can, until their cousins, spouses, and neighbors start disappearing, their coworkers, employees, and representatives.

      My city has plenty of racists, but even a casual racist might think twice when more than half the city is being deported.

        I mean, even some democrats are casual racists.

        Most racists are the type that says a racist joke and then tell you to calm down “it’s just a joke”, most aren’t the lynch mobs types.

          Exactly. They don’t want a white ethnostate, and they wouldn’t appreciate the level of totalitarianism it would take to pull off that kind of ethnic cleansing.

          Everybody’s a racist, it’s just to what degree. Just like everybody’s a hypocrite.
