One of my cousins on FB actually had the stupidity to post “There are currently 765,000 separated from their ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY parents” and a picture of soldiers crying and hugging their kids with the caption that read “Imagine how it must feel, the U.S. government separating you from your children with no guarantee you’ll ever see them again.” Luckily I have some smarter aunts and cousins who called her out on her bullshit (“Thankfully, the majority of those kids are safely with their other parent” and “Those military parents should be commended and thanked, but they chose that profession. No one forced their kids from them.”) ---

It’s almost as though Trump’s comments about doing away with judges and courts along the border is his way of saying "Fuck the law, the Constitution, and the Courts, immigration is no longer a legal problem but a military problem. They’re “invaders.” If that’s the view, that illegal border crossers are not merely committing a misdemeanor, but are in fact invading hordes, then God only knows what he’s planning on sanctioning the military to do to people who try to enter the U.S. illegally. But do not ignore the rhetoric. And do not ignore what precedent this potentially establishes, and not just for illegal entrants, but for all citizens. ---

It finally hit me over the past few days that the Trump administration really doesn’t see the immigrants as human. I couldn’t wrap my mind around their attitude and treatment until I realized this. They truly see these people as somehow less than people, inferior and therefore not deserving of basic human rights. It’s not just that they see immigrants as inferior, though, they treat them as if they were not even of the same species. ---

It’s not just that they see immigrants as inferior, though, they treat them as if they were not even of the same species. Trump seems an old-school casual racist: He doesn’t see himself as a racist because he doesn’t “hate” people of other “races”. He just feels that they just happen to be inferior. ---

I truly wish it were the case that you cannot possibly be this stupid; however, I work with two of your ilk (ignorant-ass alt-right Trump supporters) and, like them, you probably actually do believe this BS you, they, and Trump spew. ---
