That's the entire conservative mindset, and has been throughout all time: "how does this thing affect ME?"

The sad part is, she agrees with you.

"I think we need some type of reform," she said. "People don't know about this process until it happens to somebody they know."

Ownership of media outlets is a cause of so much of this.

The conservative woman they talk about here is an engineer. Almost all the engineers I know work 60-80 hour weeks.

That's the thing with lots of Americans. We work so hard to pay the increasing rent and take care of ourselves and our families that we simply don't have the time or energy to see outside the bubbles in which we live. We don't go through the process of researching everything we hear on the news, so we're easy targets for propaganda - especially now that it's got algorithmic targeting to steer specific people in specific directions.

These people really, truly believe the lies they're told about immigrants.

Because that's just how most people are.

You may be missing just how skewed the information sources are for so many people. When their most trusted sources consistently weave the narrative that all the horrors of ICE are negative spin and lies, then it's easier for those people to assume the real people and other news sources in their life telling them something closer to objective truth are parroting corrupted information. It isn't until they see it in front of them, impacting someone they know for sure isn't evil/a criminal/a threat, that they truly come face to face with the possibility that they were lied to by those they most trusted.

The people who didn’t vote are equally stupid

No, see, they're all criminals except the ones who benefit me! Those are the good ones!

They have a completely different understanding of our shared vocabulary. They live in a curated world of outrage and grift.

People can't be illegal

Or pay a living wage to a citizen like they claim to care about.

I doubt it can.

I also feel bad for the children. Having a diverse range of people in their life can help them to grow into accepting people.

Now they’re going to be raised only by white trump supporters.

I think you know the answer to that and it’s got a lot to do with skin color and wealth. Maybe religion too.

This bitch is a 3 namer. So entitled it's grotesque.
