I consistently get hit with the criticism of how I’m actually secretly trying to distract from all of the terrible things that Trump is doing, and you know I don’t usually air my anxiety about that sort of thing but today with this one I am because it’s actually awful And not intentional at all but yeah, I know seriously in the process of doing the research doing the reporting of how to exactly gauge how bad it is with what Trump is doing. We keep finding that oh actually this is this is barely half a step this is barely Out of line with standard policy for the United States. It’s just that now we’re talking about it now we’re able to actually give the abuses that happened under the American immigration system airtime because they’re being done by Trump.

Deporting anchor babies is standard policy and frankly when we knew this come on.

    You’re embarrassing yourself at best if you believe this drivel, or you’re a fascist clown at worst. Please go away and have the day you voted for

      Sure, just keep your head in the sand because you dont like the reality that the US has been the primary imperial force in the world for decades, no matter which party’s in charge. I’m sure if you keep ignoring the faults of your chosen oppressors they’ll eventually just up and decide to serve the people rather than the wealthy.

      Hey buddy so I made this space. it exists to tell you hey no seriously. It does not matter which of your guys is in charge. The US is the Premier force for evil in the fucking world. Just just to be clear of the context of this conversation.

        Sure sure sure. Because, of course, 1.5% is totally the same as 95%.

        This “both sides are bad” crap is just demonstrating how bad you clowns are at math.

        Not all deportations are the same. You just suck at telling the difference because you can’t be bothered to read past the headlines.

          Pst, why is Russia bad? It is a capitalist oligarchy. The US has worked very hard over my lifetime to keep it that way.
