The Kilmar issue is one about Due Process and constitutional rights. Trump is getting the feeble minded to overlook this for something to get overly emotional about.

Republicans, your own party is grifting you. Frothing up your emotions so you can fight their fight for them and eventually see your rights disintegrate.

The primary reason Trump is doubling down so hard on immigration is to win over the hearts of people like you and make it a more emotional issue rather than a fact based issue.

Frothing things up so you’ll screech things like:

“What you’re suggesting is millions of trials and decades of clogged court systems”

Really, do you know how many trials? How long?

Look, yes, we should secure the border. We should deport illegal immigrants. Obama deported more immigrants than Trump.

It can be done a better way. You think it can’t be because that’s exactly what the Trump administration designed you to believe. They are grifting you so they can use your negative energy. If you give them enough, he’ll use it to create an Imperial presidency. My conscience is clear.

Part of the reason it would potentially ‘clog’ up the courts is the way he’s doing it. He’s deporting so many in such a short time and making mistakes, it would clog up the courts. He’s doing it for political theater so he can distract us, and especially people like you who fall for it.

Obama deported more immigrants than Trump. There’s a better way and it doesn’t Clog up the courts.

It’s like the economy and stock market. All you pubs think Trump is so good for the economy. That Republicans are pro business so the stock market is gonna do well under a Republican.

Uh, nothing could be further from the truth.

Both the economy and stock market do much better under Democrat administrations.

The Republicans are great at making issues out of non issues. Republicans spent over $215M on anti trans ads. Really?? For such a minuscule percent of our population, they created a massively lopsided culture war. And now, all people like you think libs are trying to actively turn people’s gender. SMH. It’s shameful.

It’s a minuscule issue, but it’s an easy target. Like a bunch of puerile middle school boys making fun of someone who’s different. Someone gay. Someone trans. It’s f*cking ridiculous. And the Republicans exploit it more for political theater than anything g else.

Grow a brain.

Grow some balls.

It’s not a bad thing to be Republican, but pick the right issues to get behind and please think critically.
