re: #488 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I suspect that a lot will be made of what they are fleeing: “socialist oppression”. Obama will be blamed for it, but the GOP will find itself will be in a quandry if we insist on sending those people back or denying them refugee status.

I kinda don’t buy that, and here’s why.

Trump riles up his cult with stories of gang violence, all that ‘chopping up of young girls’ shit, and his base eats it up like groceries.

Why are many people trying to leave their countries for asylum here? Gang violence.

How much attention does that get? Pretty much zero. Like I said, the valid reasons why they’re coming here are irrelevant if no one ever talks about them.
