should help the millennials who voted for Trump with their housing problems. They can live in migrant farm worker housing as they follow the strawberry, peach, watermelon, etc. crops. Maybe, in time, they will develop their own collective action groups so that their women aren't sexually assaulted by their bosses. I wonder if Publix and Wendy's will pay them the extra penny a pound for tomatoes that they have refused pay immigrant pickers for protection from sexual assault.

I remember while living in Detroit over 20 years ago, many Eastern Europeans were deliberately overstaying their Visas and were continuing to work under the table in service jobs, some eventually traveling West for greater opportunities. No one seemed to care. I assume many are still in the country undocumented. I highly doubt the military will go door to door asking now 40 to 50 yo Eastern Europeans to prove anything.

Honestly I'm starting to wonder if Trump voters are even worse. At least the German people were experiencing actual economic hardship. America in 2024 had no reason to elect a tyrant other than boredom and imagined threats from "the other."

Temporary leadership installed until democracy can be returned to America.

We are already in 3rd world territory now.
