Donald Trump continued on Tuesday to float his idea, which some legal experts say is unconstitutional, to deport U.S. citizens who commit crimes.
Speaking to the press during a tour of a migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, the president repeated claims that there are many immigrants who are now citizens and have been committing serious crimes.
“They’re not new to our country. They’re old to our country. Many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here, too, if you want to know the truth,” he said. “So maybe that will be the next job.”
Genuinely one of the only things keeping me going is that the when the cultural backlash happens and mark my words it will happen, it’s gonna be so massive and sweeping that these fucking ghouls and anyone who supports them will be in a living hell. I’m talking post Jan 6th x10 levels of hate.
As a US citizen who is losing hope, I’d love to hear any evidence that a cultural backlash will happen. I don’t see it, anywhere. Even people who are as against this administration as me have simply given up and left the country already or making plans to leave the country. There are no warriors.
Hell, you would think that after the shitshow that Reagan had caused during his presidency, they’d be a lot more furore against his legacy right about now. Forty years on, this “cultural backlash” didn’t happen. People don’t shun and hate him and his supporters nearly as much as they ought to. It’s a complete and utter joke.
I’m hoping this is extinction behavior from the right.
It’s unlikely.
So that’d be … what, January 60th is February 29th or march 1st depending on year.
What’s notable about those days?
It will not happen. Americans have given up already.
