Conservatives have forever lost their ability to call themselves pro-life. How can they be when they're overwhelmingly in support of policies that bring so much suffering?


They are anti abortion with fits in line with their ideology of causing minorities to suffer.

What are the consequences if they can't reunite the families? Can the courts criminally charge Trump and his administration?

The Democrats should appropriate the term and equate being Pro Life with medical care and making sure that people are taken care of, emphasising that "life" means the entire lifespan of all people.

Unsurprising, but yet un fucking believable. Every day it gets worse with this administration.

I wanna believe it isn't much worse... but I'll eat my hat if the actual number isn't significantly higher. I do not underestimate the complete ineptitude of Trump.

Guys this is what I heard this friday from the local conservatives at my job...

On lost children: "why is this such a big deal? why arent they being deported? I can't believe we are paying for these kids getting DNA tests!!"

On idiot kid with MAGA hat drink fiasco: "disgusting! These are children! I'm glad the idiot got arrested! I dont know what this country is coming too!".

Also they are contantly blaming democrats/liberals/left with "dividing the country" yet applaud Trump when he is on TV saying shit about everyone. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with these people!
 
I feel that the other shoe to this nightmare hasn't even really dropped yet. Losing track of some immigrants and children isn't the drop.

This entire operation was organized by outright ethnostate believers, white supremacists, and basically neo-nazis (i.e. Miller). A lot of these people actively wish to harm brown people in their lurid fantasies.

They are drunk on their perceived power, backed by a fanatical cult of Trump supporters, and a corrupt political party rubber stamping approval of corruption and fascism. That kind of atmosphere leads people to think they can do anything and get away with it. Usually that means that crimes against humanity take place next. And that doesn't just stop with people in cages.

They have had their basic sense of humanity warped towards the thinking and rational of nativist racists and xenophobes, in some cases without realizing it or a drop of self-awareness. Combined with a lack of critical thinking ability.

Thus immigrant brown children are animals that should be deported and forever lost to their parents, thrown into the wild. While a MAGA brownshirt teenager who had food thrown at him is a delicate flower because he is one of "us", white, America, and precious.

They blame liberals for "division" because liberals want to recognize people who aren't part of the white native ingroup as human beings, and that divides the purity and strength of real Americans.

Were the separation policies in place before the Trump administration? Cause if they were, it officially doesn't matter who you vote for. I think not even George W. Fucking Bush, worst president of my lifetime until trump, would allow this shit to go on.

No they weren't. That's Trump lying, and lying badly. This was a stated policy that his minions were talking about before he even got into the white house.

Frankly, I still think they're lowballing that number. For a perpetually dishonest administration, saying they've only lost track of 20% of their parents probably means they've actually lost track of 95% of their parents and they're trying to downplay how many kids they've kidnapped... and CONTINUE to kidnap (why would we ever think they've stopped)... while still allowing for countless case examples that can be casually dismissed away as "oh, they were part of the 20 percent... but these other 4 kids were reunited happily".

Bush's administration supposedly considered it. 10 minutes into the discussion they realized it was an untenable nightmare. Let that sink in.

Trump's presidency has just been him saying "What can I do that those pussies before me didn't have the balls to do?" This applies most heavily to Obama but I guarantee you he probably thinks every president before him was a pussy.

Literally everything is consistent if you realize they don't view brown people as human

Fucking monsters. And you know if this is what they're admitting to, the actual number is higher. (I'm guessing 100%)

This specific issue I believe will be the Trump administration legacy. What people think of when they remember it. The fact that they willingly did this to families and infants is just mind blowing.

This is horrifying.

Me and my wife were wondering about the guards or officers who have to separate the families. Who could do that for a living? This is all so fucked up.

And chances are the actual number is much higher =/

And what exactly are they going to do with the children they can't reunite with their parents? Sheer malice and stupidity.

It already has for anyone with some semblance of civility and human kindness and compassion.
Their approval ratings should tell you just how little that matters to some people.

The real kicker is that this practice completely legitimizes literally anything deplorable act you can imagine these people being a party to as feasible.

Once you've gone down the path of ripping toddlers out of their crying mother's hands, kidnapping them with no intention of returning them and putting them in cages because you don't view children who aren't white as human beings while you embark on a self-congratulation tour of the country making jokes about liberal outrage... there is no coming back from that.

There is no act of evil you will not commit if you're a willing party to that. No sin is off-limits. No crime that you're not capable of... whether it's raping these infant babies, bashing them with blunt instruments until they stop crying, lighting their discarded corpses on fire and pretending they were never there... "but see this other baby got reunited just fine, I'm a good person, why won't you be civil, these aren't even actual people like the fine white upstanding American citizens of Montana, why don't you love America". This is the government of the United States of America and the Republican Party and their supporters... in all of its exposed wretchedness.

Leave them in foster care indefinitely.

Those kids are going to grow up hating the US if they never find their parents.
