yeah laying things bare like that is really the best thing about Trump, he gives libs nothing to work with and they can't do their usual mental gymnastics to pretend it's not what it is

I disagree wholeheartedly. This shit happening under Trump is the best thing to keep Libs from changing their ideals. Libs will learn nothing from this because they will literally only blame it on big bad orange man. Orange man is the only problem. America isn't bad, only orange man. Ice isn't bad, only orange man ice. Etc etc.

They will then turn and blame orange man on leftists and non-voters for not voting for the blue fascist. Because "this wouldn't be happening under blue fascist. Only red fascist orange man bad." They will then fantasize about minorities, leftists, and non-voters being beat to death by the police and ice while they smuggle say "well I guess you should have voted for blue fascist."

Sure, the priests of the cult will absolutely do that, but the cult is losing followers faster than ever.

That's why they prefer the Dems after all.
