I have repeatedly told my far more conservative relatives — whom I love dearly — that late night TV will be purged if Trump wins. To date, all I’ve gotten as a reaction is a lulz. They just don’t care. All they care about is closing the border to scary brown people and putting the ones who are already here in camps before they get deported.
That’s it, that’s their only concern.
When I press them on what a disaster deporting 10 to 20 million undocumented people would be, all I get is a hand wave. They don’t really care what happens if it Trump fulfills that promise, they just want it to happen. They want things to go back to the way they were at some nebulous point in the past when America was “great.”
The idea that there would be purge of American late night TV is pretty profound. It’s something that I will be able to point to and say, “Uh, I think we’re in trouble, guys.”
It definitely makes me wonder what the conservatives in my life — whom I love dearly — will respond to such things. I suppose they will just shrug and go about their business until I eventually get arrested for refusing to stop saying that MAGA is fucking fascist bullshit and can collectively suck my cock.
But we have to appreciate that there’s probably going to be a massive diaspora if Trump wins. I continue to believe that about 1 million smug Twitter liberals will begin to flee the country at some point after Trump officially winning the election.
Things could get so bad that Trump locks the country down and it will grow really, really difficult to get out at all.
I know that sounds hysterical at the moment, but it’s definitely something we need to contemplate at the moment. All those Americans leave the country could dramatically change world culture.
