I am pro-border in the fact that I think borders serve an important purpose and that laws surrounding immigration should exist and be enforced. That said, I think fixing immigration requires following the god damned laws and constitution, you don’t enforce the law by breaking it. Fuck! Immigration courts and the entire immigration bureaucracy needs to be beefed up to handle this, and law enforcement of any kind needs to be working under the judicial system. Warrants are needed, you can’t suspend habeas corpus, cops should never be masked and anonymous, and all law enforcement should be held to a higher standard than everyone else.
I think Trump is causing the legitimate action of enforcing our laws to look bad, and he is harming law and order for decades or longer. It should not be controversial to enforce laws, and if it is those laws need to be changed.
Despite how scofflaw this administration is, however, I do not think Trump will run for a third term. I don’t think we as a country or even the Republican party as a whole is willing to that blatantly flout the constitution, and I think that at least 60% of both parties want what is best for the country. I don’t think actual Nazis or true jackbooted fascists are more than 10% of the right (I can’t believe I now think it’s that high), but do believe 20-30% are exploited by grifters and opportunists. That might be naive, but it seems like.everyone is abandoning their faith in the fundamental good of others all across the country/world and I think that is sad.
The only reason he wouldn’t run for a third term is if he died in office. Which he probably will either way since I’m not expecting those elections to be fair. (I know it sounds crazy but they’ve broken so much in just 5 months and we’re on the verge of war and martial law.)
And he has incentive to stay in office too: the main reason he ran was to stay out of prison. It was either prison or president.
We could spend all day throwing out numbers, making predictions, arguing over facts, and burning each other out. We could parade around our favorite talking heads and share link after link that proves our exact point. These are the mechanisms of control. These are weeds that grow faster than any one person can cut them back.
We’ve given so much of our lives to serve some cause that none of us believe in. Now your very liberty is under threat, if only you had the eyes to see it.

I’m with you! I hate numbers, and facts!
