    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.

      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.

          Oh, no I think there is, indirectly. If you’re working 60-80 hours a week, you have absolutely no home life and almost surely can’t grasp the concept of someone else wanting it. That is directly related to empathy towards others.

    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 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.
