“Don't delude yourself into believing that the police over here [U.S.A.]will resist orders from their superiors to round us up and put us on the trains.”
That's very hard to even imagine...

I don't find it hard to imagine. The standard Nuremberg defense was “I only did what I was told.” This is human nature to trust and follow orders, sorry to say but most people are sheep and that is ok.

What scares me most is young people who don't ask why we are doing this. There are exemptions. But they have been trained to not ask questions and punished if they do. Look at how many accept homosexuality, they will do what they are told.

You and I may be a sheep dog but most are not. Bravado is nice but until our possessions, loved ones and lives are truly threatened, we DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WILL DO.

Much as I distrust "Progressive" liberals, I've seen no evidence of some latent desire on their part to round up all conservatives and ship us off to concentration camps.
Indeed, when you think about it, if they exterminated all conservatives, who would do the real work, and pay all the taxes?

No, a socialist "progressive" looks on us conservatives the same way a farmer looks at his dairy cattle -- as livestock to be controlled, fed and even pampered, just as much as necessary to produce the maximum "milk" (taxes) possible.
To borrow another metaphor, even the dumbest of liberals understands that you don't kill the goose which lays golden eggs.

As for the long-distance future, who knows?
But I'd say it's a little, ahem, "premature" to begin worrying about cattle cars and gas chambers for America's conservatives.
