I would ask you to consider, before making public comments such as this: am I helping to normalize this latest atrocity?
I would guess that wasn't your intention. But to say things like, 'of course' this is happening, because Trump is a pos, is to ignore all the other factors enabling this.
To answer your question: Deporting US children with cancer is not actually something I had predicted.
Had someone asked me if Trump were capable of something like that, I would have said, no doubt.. But would I have thought that the entire system is so irredeemable, so rotted through that he would actually succeed - well, I wouldn't have been as sure. Even after the black sites, the torture, the genocide, the bipartisan concentration camps with children drinking out of toilets and sleeping in foil blankets; I still would have though that there was enough bureaucratic resistance within the system to prevent this happening mere months into the admin.
Would you have thought the US capable of deporting US children with cancer in 2014? ... Do you think the Democrats will put up anything more than token resistance to this?
