Staffer for Bernie Sanders campaign was caught on tape by an undercover journalist saying "gulags weren't that bad."

This had the effect of moving the Overton Window in the national conversation. Gulags are now in play. You can say they're a terrible idea and that you'd never do them - but that's not the point. The point is that they are now in the range of possible outcomes. That this disgusts us all beyond belief is also not the point. These hard leftists exist, they have influence, and they would very much like to put people in camps.

Bernie Sanders has spent years convincing voters that his Soviet honeymoon, his support for the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, his admiration for Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez were all a misunderstanding. So if he's elected president, which could happen, gulags will be within the realm of possibility. I don't think they'll happen - but again that's not the point. We're now talking about them as a possible outcome. That's so bad.

FEMA camps are already built all over America, and if you think they're for large influx of immigrants and "natural disasters", you're 15 years behind anyone researching online.

Where are they? Do we have any satellite photos?

Yes, but the images are flipped so that it looks like they are actually on the other side of the picture.

Irony aside, man, do your own damn research.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Nah, people will never do their own research. Either give it to them or they'll dismiss your claims. Do you want to be taken seriously or not? The hardest part of writing is often how to explain things not with the knowledge you have, but the knowledge your audience has.
