I really miss the old days when an idea like VOICE would be met with

[chelsea0011]

"he really is fucking crazy". I guess from what I have read and little I have seen on TV, trump hit it out of the park yesterday. It is really sad because VOICE should have sent everyone over the edge. My only take on this is that trump wants to once and for all "prove" his belief that Mexicans really are rapists and drug lords entering the USA.

1. I don't understand any of it

What do the victims have to do with it? If Trump wants to compile a list of undocumented immigrants who've committed crimes...he can just get that from law enforcement agencies.

The whole victim things smacks WAY too much of those psychotic-type christians who believe they're being persecuted

3. it's all turning sympathy for victims into anger toward immigrants

let's ignore immigrants who are themselves victims
let's ignore immigrants who are non-violent
let's ignore victims of non-immigrants
let's focus exclusively on non-immigrants victims of immigrant violence so we can justify treating all immigrants as subhuman.

9. what's a good nativist hate without an unhealthy dose of anti-semitism?

4. Really. It's called FBI crime statistics.

7. That's how Hitler et al. stigmatized their victims - the first step in a program.

2. +1. I would add, he really is "disgusting."

5. Made about as much sense as invading Iraq because Saudis hiding in Afghanistan attacked the US. nt
