We’re About to Find Out What #MassDeportation Really Looks Like

The Atlantic · Trump’s Mass-Deportation Campaign Hasn’t Really Started YetBy Nick Miroff

There is no "other". That "them" or "they" newscasters point to with horror doesn't exist. "They" are made up to scare you into allowing cruelty. But the truth is, "They" are just like you, your friends, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters. "They" are you. Language and customs may be different, but "They" are still you.

"It is unfortunate & disastrous that the #Republican Party would nominate someone who represents narrow nationalism, crippling isolationism, and a trigger happy attitude of annihilation.

On social issues, [he] represents unrealistic Conservatism that's out-of-touch with reality. [His position] on Civil Rights is morally indefensible & gives comfort to racists.

It is our position that Mr. Goldwater has neither the concern nor the comprehension necessary [to be Potus.]" - Rev. ML King.

The #Republican #tariff insanity will fail. Not only will it drive up prices because AMERICANS pay the #TariffTax on everything they buy, but it will also fail to bring both #jobs and #manufacturing to the USA. New industrial parks take YEARS to build, especially considering new supply chains that they depend on, and no company is going to make that investment when #Trump is out in 4 years, the American economy tanks, and the next president will reverse it all.
