Honestly, I more disappointed and surprised at more than a few older Dems I know saying they just “couldn’t bring themselves to vote a Black into the White House.”

We'll never change the base. Their investment in Trump and conservatism is more akin to religious faith than ideology, and just as with religion, to question it would be to undermine the basis for their (clearly unjustified) conviction that they're decent and moral.

I don't think we really need to worry about changing their children either. Their children are already changing, which is an awful lot of the reason for their egregiously anti-democracy panic. They recognize at some level that the tide of history is turning against them, and they can't stand it. They think they can stop that process through force and fraud, and don't seem to understand that all they can do that way is maybe postpone it a bit, or that bybtrying to save their justly dying ideology that way, they ensure that a day of reckoning will come - that they'll go down in history as not just an abandoned ideology, but a justly condemned one.

Adjudicated rapist just doesn't have the same ring to it

An Eisenhower-era deportation program that set up the current dynamic of militarized deportation and border control.

As soon as the US seized control of the north western Mexican states (Mexico has states) they have been wanting to rid the land of non white people, under Eisenhower 'operation wetback' was an offical effort to remove non white citizens to Mexico from the western states that were formerly Mexican, many legal citizens were essentially kidnapped and dropped in southern Mexico where they knew no one, didn't have the culture, didn't speak the language, and didn't have connections, often on boat trips against their will that provided no food or water if they could avoid it, a huge amount of people died on the ships or very soon after being forceably moved off the ships. The economic devistation from population decline in many effected towns and cities took more than a generation to recover.

 Mexico did request a cooperative effort to return Mexican nationals to Mexico, but rather than do this in a way that would make sense and not kill people, and focus on people with Mexican nationality specifically and not simply any Hispanic or part native person, the US decided the most fatal method was the way to go. Additionally citizenship would only be valid for white Americans. You know, Because they hate people who are even part native. 

 It was a deeply racist act of ethnic cleansing, and Donald Trump has said openly, in public, he wants this to happen again. Just as he said he wanted Japanese Internment Camps to happen for Muslim people, and I assume other non white populations.

 This is as heinous as if he demanded The Trail of Tears be once again used to ethnicity cleanse native people from the eastern US. It's absolutely INSANE that this isn't even a news story. 

 The press simply do not care to report on this clear open call to ethnic clensing, just like they never covered Texas refusing birth certificates for Hispanic children born on US soil, or the asylum seeker holding prisons where every non white woman was forcibly given a hysterectomy. You know, forced sterilization of a specific ethnic group. 

 The silence has been deafening. -

Do you guys have any vacancies?
