They know the optics are bad, will always be bad and there is nothing they can say to change that. So why not just relax and embrace the policy which they so clearly enjoy? I think theyre trying to have it both ways, which is kinda my point. Talking point 1: they have it coming appeals to hardcore law and order types who dont care how anyone who breaks a law is treated and white supremacists (disclaimer: I am not saying these are necessarily the same people) Talking point 2: its a terrible thing that the Dems have done and we are at their mercy appeals to older, family values Christian voters who are disturbed by mothers being separated from children but dont care to/dont know how to fact-check this That makes sense, but I'm thinking more in terms of like CE or GFAQS in general. The real reason the trumpists here like this policy is it hurts minorities - and we all know that. So rather than try to appeal to types that probably aren't on this website and certainly aren't convincing anyone, why not just embrace it for what it is? Thats a real good question. To be, uh... fair (?), the majority of defense Ive seen from these people on CE has been they deserve it, so thats consistent, but theres definitely been some this is Obamas fault! too. Its weird. Then again, they may not be the same people. Which just goes to show the Trump admin talking out both sides of their mouth in effect. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:903522374] in I'm ha...
