I can’t believe how much he gets away with. He has zero shame, and seldom pays the smallest price for it. Sane people making sane observations about him are called deranged, and attacked over and over.
He’s a stochastic terrorist, worse than Henry II, and society has to hold him to account.
Immigration, as an issue in the United States, should not be an issue. We’re a nation of 350m, we can absorb a lot of people with no trouble. It’s only an issue because racists make it so, and the GOP oligarchs have been stoking white resentment for decades, with this “Let’s you and him fight” propaganda, pitting working class people against other working class people.
We have immigration limits that were set in the heyday of the KKK in the early 20th c, having had none during the preceding centuries. Those limits have never kept pace with global population growth.
People are fleeing countries we used to provide assistance to, but no longer do. We have dumped thousands of US-raised drug gang criminals into those countries, helping their inability to maintain a stable state. We blame refugees for fleeing circumstances we helped worsen significantly.
And we can’t remotely surface any of this in the national conversation. We can’t even agree that adults who have lived in the US their entire lives, pace a couple months in their birth countries, deserve to be citizens, or deserve to not be deported to countries they’ve never known.
