If Trump rounded up everyone he thought was a socialist and literally put them in internment camps, I can’t honestly say if it would be enough for online leftist spaces to get on the same page about blue no matter who. I’m not even kidding. I have no idea what it would take.

Who is being put in those “internment camps”?
