    I lived in Florida for a while. Nearly all of the Cubans there were racist redhats and loved Trump. They fucked around and now they get to find out.

      This transactional relationship with minority groups is precisely why Democratic popularity among minority groups is slipping. You pretend to stand for racial justice as a principle. Then, the moment a racial group no longer supports your movement, you abandon your principles of racial justice. You join with the fascists and openly celebrate that group’s persecution. Yet you still ask other minority groups to vote for you, as you stand for racial justice, LGBT rights, etc. Yet how can people not see what is in front of their very eyes - the moment support for their group becomes politically inconvenient, that group will be thrown away like an old tissue.

      The same Democrats who said that people needed to ignore Palestine in order to protect LGBT people are now those throwing the trans community under the bus.

      Not much choice between two genocidal candidates. And genocide joe attacked migrants during his whole term continuing and expanding the policies of Trump. But go ahead acting self-righteous.

    Trump, a Republican, took steps to…

    Does this asshat realize that the only non-immigrants in this country are the Native Americans? I mean even after 9/11 there weren’t mass deportations of people of Middle Eastern descent. Racism and prejudice, yes, but this is ridiculous all because of Fentanyl?

    I have a better and more empathetic idea – meet people where they are and help them find a path that works for them to get out of the addiction spiral. This is just going to lead to an increase in drug prices, which will lead to even more crime.

      Watch out. He’ll try to deport all the Native Americans to Northeast Siberia. Their ancestors were just very, very early illegal immigrants.

      Yes, they are fully aware that when they talk about “immigrants”, they aren’t actually talking about immigrants, they are talking about people who aren’t white.

      The actual goal of the “I don’t like these illegals” people is to make the US a white ethno-state.

      Do you actually think Trump or anybody in his circle has empathy? They have all shown that it’s a foreign concept to them.

        It goes farther than that, it’s a Republican issue and has been for decades. Trump is just saying the quiet parts out loud.

        And traumatizing the fuck out of me because I grew up with a narcissistic parent and was subject to her wildly changing decisions, gaslighting, and her always saying the quite part out loud as if they are incapable of thinking without speaking.
