    Right. Part of the problem is self-righteous people thinking in black and white.

    Trump promised to deport illegals. Of course there won’t be any impact on documented immigrants.

    People who think this way also tend not to be able to synthesize the larger answer based on other info, such as Trump promising to act as dictator from day one or trumps complete lack of empathy and respect for the law, or the amoral sycophants he put into leadership positions

    Every president has deported undocumented immigrants and we don’t usually object too much. If that’s what was happening this wouldn’t be as big an issue. The problem is when it’s clearly racist , or depriving people of human rights and due process, or done by a bunch of thugs cowering behind masks while holding themselves above the law, or brutalizing witnesses and spreading terror., or kidnapping people from schools, churches, courthouses. Was this voter able to connect the dots?
