Why are you trying to change the subject away from immigration policy? I could also talk about how the president is trying to subvert the media to sell his immigration policies, but that would not be relevant in this thread. If you want to talk about that subject, post a new article.
- tomp 10y agoI enjoy pointing out what I percieve as great hypocrisy. Somehow, disallowing foreigners from entering your country is suddenly better than starting wars and extrajudicial executions. It appears as if many people are protesting because of ideology (republican == bad), not because of their actual moral beliefs.
- giardini 10y agoI think you're incorrect (and perhaps a little paranoid) about this being, as you say, '...the conservative social media strategy in action -- repeat talking points to divert discussion whenever "their side" is criticized.' tomp isn't trying to change the subject. Instead he asks a valid moral question: why would someone refuse to visit the USA because of Trump's (comparatively insignificant) executive order, yet the same person not be put off by a far more morally repugnant act: Obama's killing of thousands with drone attacks. tomp also has a strong argument in his comment below about hypocrisy. I'd want him on my team in a debate - he sounds like an honest man.
