If the illegal immigrants are being handled to their satisfaction and those other problems persist then I guess the illegals weren’t the problem, were they?

I hope both of these people die in a fire.
Um that's a wee bit much IMO, but how refreshing that we're allowed to speak so boldly here without getting banned, unlike cough reddit cough where everyone gets banned for breathing.
They're not tweeting their best
Exactly. They’ll give Maxwell a puppy in prison but mothers bleading out in ICE detention from miscarriages, then say racism doesn’t exist.

What's "ISIS in White House" in reference to? I don't think there's even any Muslims in the Trump cabinet, are there? I'm sure he's made some sort of racist connection but it's so tenuous I can't even tell what it's supposed to be.
Nah, this week an ex al qaeda member/leader visited trump in the white house. Lots of smiles and handshakes.
Thanks for that, though not for also obfuscating that it’s the President of Syria you’re talking about. It’s a very different story when you miss that part out, isn’t it?
None of this makes sense:
- al Qaeda is in Afghanistan
- ISIS is largely in Iraq and Syria
- President of Syria joined "al Qaeda in Iraq", which is affiliated with al qaeda, but isn't the same org
Basically, the Syrian President worked with an al Qaeda affiliated group to take down Assad and fight against ISIS.
I'm guessing they don't know anything about ISIS or al Qaeda and probably think Iraq was somehow involved in 9/11.
Might mean the US government warming up to the new leadership in Syria. The new president was seen as a terrorist until last year.

That right there is a wedge that can be opened. (Not be someone who comes across as being left-wing, who they'll likely reject out of hand, mind).
The seed of doubt has been sown, and now it remains to be asked just how kidnapping brown people (phrasing it that way won't work but I'm not currently trying to convince anyone...) benefits them, personally. It's an opportunity to examine the disconnect between things they feel are connected - "everything is shit and I don't have enough money" and "there's too many foreigners and brown people".
I've been trying something similar for years:
"They took our jerbs!" "You lost your job to an immgrant?" "Well, no, but..." "Who do you know that has lost their job to an immigrant?" "Well, personally no one, but that's not the point!" "..."
I lost my job to overseas Indians and I don't blame them one lick. Blame the capitalists sending those jobs overseas.
That’s when you find out it’s not about belief, it’s about tribalism. It’s essentially a religion (or a cult).
Their friends are idiots. The people they look up to are idiots. It’s extremely difficult to separate someone from their “tribe” because that’s where they feel safest.
You can use logic and reality with them only until they run back to is their faith.
Americanism is a new religion. Good luck reasoning with it.

Cool, Trump lost me in the 2016 primaries. That was the first election I voted third party, and 2020 was the first election I voted Democrat, and I largely voted Republican before then (McCain and Romney) because I thought they cared about small, responsible and privacy-respecting government.
The warning signs were there from the start. He's a narcissist and easily manipulated by shiny things and flattery. That type of person isn't interested in making things better for you, only better for themselves, and someone in Trump's position cares more about making headlines than people actually liking them.
The only thing I like about Trump is be pissed off conservatives. Everything else is a net negative including the tax cuts that actually kind of benefit me.

Linda: “I was told that I’d get to be openly racist and rich! What the hell!”
That is all that is needed for MAGA to vote.
There was always going to be a point where "hurting other people" would finally take a backseat to "staying the fuck alive yourself". This appears to be this point. For some at least.

At least they got the border…
Yeah the border a thousand miles inland and away from the actual border.
Like 2k us citizens arrested unlawfully.
Dude is scoring below 50% on a basic reality check.
