    Maybe people that know nothing about politics shouldn’t get a vote.

    That people still think this goes to show you how uninformed people are. (That and Fox sure isn’t going to tell them it’s normal people, they’re going to tell them it is all criminals.)

    Trump was talking about migrants as criminals. You remembered correctly. Your mistake was believing him.

    Weird how trump voters only ever care about things when they are personally affected

      That’s the entire conservative mindset, and has been throughout all time: “how does this thing affect ME?”

      The conservative woman they talk about here is an engineer. Almost all the engineers I know work 60-80 hour weeks.

      That’s the thing with lots of Americans. We work so hard to pay the increasing rent and take care of ourselves and our families that we simply don’t have the time or energy to see outside the bubbles in which we live. We don’t go through the process of researching everything we hear on the news, so we’re easy targets for propaganda - especially now that it’s got algorithmic targeting to steer specific people in specific directions.

      These people really, truly believe the lies they’re told about immigrants.

        Idk… I don’t think there’s a correlation between the hours you work and basic empathy

    The plan was never to target criminals, it was to criminalize their targets.

    So, so gullible.

    “I love the poorly educated!”

    They’d be alive if Harris was president.

    Just like Pretti and Good.

    After a divorce caused her immigration status to lapse, Basele was issued a final order of removal in 2011.

    She lost her status because she got divorced? The fuckin fuck even is that shit

    They see every illegal person as a criminal. Hope that clears things up.

      They have a completely different understanding of our shared vocabulary. They live in a curated world of outrage and grift.

    That’s a shame… I sure hope no trolls start publicly accusing these leopards of being paid leftist actors until their own people turn on them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
