It's amusing that when you ask a "patriot" about the ideal society, they describe the Anarchist moon from the Dispossessed, but only for white people and without all the gay stuff.

Just like the Brexit "patriots", who signed up in their zeros to do farm work..

Transcript:

Panels 1-4:

Stranger: Mr Block, you are the best worker of all the harvest hands. I know you are a patriot and I like you. I am the owner of this farm and I will make you manager. Your salary will be $500 per month. The job is easy. Take your pocket flag and when you see a harvest hand on the point of exhaustion, wave the flag before his eyes and appeal to his patriotism so he keeps on working. You can also use the flag at mealtime and make the men swallow the rotten grub without grumbling.

Panel 5:

Mr Block: I have been a Patriot all my life and I knew I would get my reward some day!

Farm Owner: You deserve it. Good bye Mr Block.

Panel 6:

Insane asylum employee: Did you see crazy Chris? He imagines he owns all the farms between the Atlantic and the Pacific.

My bet is that this is going be an alternative to mandatory military service. Unless the US steals some ideas from the earlier days of the soviet union and makes soldiers dig potato fields.

If it was good enough for their role model it'll be good enough for them.

yeah I reckon we're about to see, after the deportations of immigrants and the sudden labor shortage caused by it, a lot of other Americans who are also considered "undesirables" being voluntold to get busy pickin' or get busy dying. We already force our prisoners to do slave labor, and you know what a hate-boner Republicans have for prisoners -- how do you think that stacks up against their hate boner for trans people? gay people? Or, why, just anyone who doesn't "vote correctly"?

the deportations of immigrants and the sudden labor shortage caused by it

I think you meant, "the round up of suspected immigrants (but we're not real careful about that), followed by the simultaneous difficulties of returning them to their homelands and national labor shortages; then the increasing "tax burden" of feeding and housing the immigrants with the continuing labor shortage leading to the "obvious and natural solution" of having the people awaiting deportation work in those understaffed jobs.

Which, if you know any history, is how Germany ended up with concentration camps.
