Trump says he will outlaw homelessness and arrest everyone who refuses to comply. He will then give them the option to get out of jail to be relocated to new tent cities elsewhere where he will take care of their needs. pic.twitter.com/P5z5ckG8b6— Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 (@RonFilipkowski) April 18, 2023
Liberals are going to convince themselves that this is the compassionate and humane thing to do ("Why do you oppose the temporary overflow facilities for people experiencing houselessness? Do you want these poor people to sleep in the streets?"). The final holdouts will be convinced by a couple of interviews with sympathetic looking white women who talks about how they are grateful to get a new start through the programme.
I am white and from the suburbs. Never in my life have I met a fellow white suburbanite who wouldn't go along with this, either enthusiastically or quietly supportive.
They are already doing that in a lot of liberal cities and suburbs, but without the final step. Being homeless is hard and practically illegal, but there are no camps yet.
I vaguely remember seeing videos of "designated camping spots" in some west coast city. I imagine the liberal approach to homeless concentration camps will be more of an indirect approach than literally rounding homeless people. They'll increase policing against homeless people in all areas except these designated "camping" spots until it gets so violent that houseless people have no choice but to self-admit themselves there, and then they'll police the borders of these camps as if they were prison camps. And liberals will hail this as the humane solution because "they chose to be there" as if our violent society hasn't left these people any other choice.
Literally what liberals want, they just always pussyfoot around it. “Something needs to be done” etc
It's gonna be real fucked up when this shit polls well with suburban boomers and Biden adds basically the same policy to his platform

This will be the "reasonable, centrist bipartisan policy" in like ~20 years.

It'll be Star Trek sanctuary districts but without the outrage against them :agony-deep:
Well the homeless concentration camps will be the closest thing to a capitalist mass housing project.
