The Trump administration followed a deliberate policy of separating young children from their families, locking them in cages, refusing to do any work to bring those families back together, and [handing those children off to Christian adoption agencies](https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2019/02/report-missing-migrant-children-being-funneled-through-christian-adoption-agency/?fbclid=IwAR3D7WSTnGE77s5UR1EdbVjK9w9COqyOmyFrRzvbicdRz0WiANfx0kB0ffY). This is a humanitarian tragedy. A fucking disgraceful policy on par with such classics as Japanese internment camps - indeed, Trump flunkies [keep on trying to rehabilitate the Japanese internment camps](https://newrepublic.com/article/138835/team-trump-keep-talking-japanese-internment), I wonder why. This. It should be the front page news of every paper, every day. We should be doing nothing else until it’s resolved and laws are in place to make sure it never happens again. The fact that after YEARS we still have concentration camps in the United States – for children, based on their race and skin color – should have cost Trump all of his supporters ages ago. It’s the absolute icing on the proof that conservatives _ **really are** _ as racist as the Dems have been claiming for years, no matter how strident their denials or attempts to redirect this into “name-calling. (The wall, only along the “brown people” border, helps, too.)” Nothing imaginable would get me not to vote for anyone other than his opponent unless that opponent could somehow managed to exceed this very, very high bar. The rotting corpse of Hitler would at least not be taking active malicious action. I would literally vote for the office to be left empty rather than allow Trump to continue in it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-bad-a-scandal-for-you-to-not-vote-for-trumps-2020-democratic-opponent/829704)._
