Feels Like This Country Is Going To Explode. It Gets So Much Worse By The Day.

[TheMastersNemesis]

We are seeing cruelty in this country like we would expect in the worst parts of Africa. The GOP is trying to solve a problem is created and exacerbated for 40 years with a sledge hammer.

All you have to do is start penalizing employers for hiring undocumented workers and shut off the ability to get employment. Then you have to pass some kind of legitimate immigration program. The GOP has refused to do either.

We are now an international embarrassment.

1. To me, that is the proof that this has nothing to do with immigration and everything to

do with the fact that they don't like brown people or people who are different from them. If they REALLY wanted to stop undocumented immigrants, they would penalize the employers. That's all they have to do.

Just like the anti-abortion really has nothing to do with the "sanctity of life," as they prepare to kill tens of thousands by gutting Obamacare, and has everything to do with controlling the uppity wimmins.

16. +a million

on both points.

[Dulcinea]

19. Yep.

Nothing will be done about illegal immigration as long as there are people who want cheap labor.

2. We're not going to explode, if you mean riots and burning shit down.

Sorry to be a cynic, but I am.

Americans are almost completely divided, and, more importantly, complacent. For all the imagined "carnage" going on, we're a wealthy nation with near full employment. The bourgeoisie do not rebel - they want their jobs and their 401ks (I know I do). The poor, who have something to rebel against, are disorganized, racially divided, and disheartened.

The drip drip drip of ICE expulsions went nearly unnoticed during Obama. No undocumented immigrant is going to risk protest. They don't want a target on their back.

4. In Retrospect You Are Probably Correct.

Complacency is what got us here.

5. YEP

We are fat and complacent, I've been saying that for years niw.

15. The bourgeoisie have 401ks?

Damn, I'm sub-bourgeois.

3. We will get relief when someone posts a video of a couple of women relieving themselves.

Why is the golden showers vid taking so long? Is someone bribing him?

6. Our poets offer instruction in this matter:

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

~Langston Hughes "Harlem"

7. What happens to all those now unemployed workers?

Where do they go?

8. Oh, but they are not trying to solve the problem.

They are ONLY trying to help themselves. The only problem they need to solve is the lack of 6 times more money than they already have. They want to solve the problem that slavery is not legal. They want to solve the problem that they are not allowed to abuse people any way that want. They want to solve the problem of people not dying in pain because they enjoy watching it.

I will tell you what finally brought me to this total understanding. It is the fact that they are putting little children in a prison like manner and separating them from their parents.

I have this really horrible feeling that they are going to make these people earn their keep in these detaining camps and will start forced labor even with the little children. I would not put it past these evil vile people.

I was already mad a few days ago when I heard this but it hit home today when I saw them on TV at these detainee camps. I just basically lost it.

If you voted for Trump you are just as vile and evil and I will never have one iota of respect for you. I will not be happy when you get screwed by your Trump god but I will not feel sorry for you and do not even complain to me.

Please forgive me my DU friends for venting but I think you all understand.

10. I Am Worse I Do Not Care If Trump Voters Perish Or Suffer Miserably.

The reason I am so harsh is the Trumpers actually enjoy what Trump is doing. I sense NO REMORSE. And I have a problem with being sympathetic to people so mean and cruel. And they just love how these immigrants are being treated. They want blood. They seem to be insane with hatred. And the GOP is who screwed them.

[Doreen]

12. I do not care either but unlike them i would just not be happy about it.

I would never be happy to even see my worst enemy be in pain but I would not feel bad at the same time. Basically if one said something to me about their loss I would just say you voted for this you mofo and walk off.

[TheMastersNemesis]

18. I Am Not Saying I Would Be Happy About It. Just Not Sympathetic.

[FreepFryer]

9. LOL. Not even close. Some of us make notable progress against GOP authoritarianism every day. (n/t)

[sarcasmo]

11. Amazing part, the emabarrassment only took 43 days.

[bdamomma]

14. It seems longer than that.

[sarcasmo]

17. Feels like forever, can't imagine how many gray hairs I will have by 2020.

[Initech]

13. I feel like we're inching closer and closer to civil war every day. It's getting very scary.

And I feel like if Trump and his cohorts are removed from office, that would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
