In a shocking twist of events it turned out that state sanctioned detention centers, where children are separated from their parents, provide much better opportunities for sexual predators than pizzeria chains.

Where's QAnon when you need them?

Also, last year I suggested that these centres were ineffective as it's still better than where they came from. At least Trump listened to my advice and decided to make them worse. Still haven't got enough torture and murder yet. He needs to step up his game as its not discouraging enough

So child prisons aren't much better than adult prisons?

Color me shocked.

We all know that Trump supporters lack moral compass. They're vile people with no sense of decency. There's literally nothing good about Trump that someone can cling on to say "this is why I support him". All the support comes from people who hate the same people that Trump hates. Hatred, racism, bigotry and general moral bankruptcy is what ties all the Trump supporters together. And they know it. They're not even trying to hide it. They'll deny it, but they'll show their true face pretty much in the same conversation. These fuckin' sociopaths are upset, not because children are being separated from their families, not because human beings are being treated like garbage and not because children are being sexually abused. They're literally only upset because we called them out on it when we called these places what they truly are - concentration camps.

Whatever happened to that guy anyway?
Perma-banned for saying the response to literal actual confirmed and self-identified Nazis was just more white-male-bashing.

That this still needs to be pointed out is depressing.

Which is why I don't understand why CM156 is still going to vote for him. He doesn't seem to fit with the evil alt right crowd.

I am not convinced he will necessarily do so. He has vocally opposed much of what Trump has done and what Trump supports so I am sure he would rather have someone else in office tbh. I think it is rather a difficult decision for him of weighing his priorities with the good and bad that comes with Trump. He has never come across as actually supporting much of what Trump supports at all, he seems to be just a bit more concerned with worrying about what "the other side will do" moreso that actually supporting Trump or Trumps policies.

He only uses Trump as his avatar because he knows it is completely obnoxious. XD

This report is over four years (2014-2018) so it's not just Trump doing this. You wanna mention that right up cause if you don't people will treat it as you trying to shield Obama from his hand in these child sexual assaults. I myself genuinely thought it was a recent phenomenon that occurred only since the child separation policy of Trump's begun.

It's almost like the United States is and has been an imperialist, carceral state independent of whether the President is Trump or some other Republican or, indeed, Democrat. It's almost like focusing on individual personalities misses the entire goddamned point.

Trump basically put a personality that's easy to badmouth next to these reprehensible policies so suddenly everyone who was fine with them in 2014 is aghast now. If that's what it takes for these policies to be considered as badly as they deserve to be and to be changed I guess that's a silver lining his victory. Though it doesn't bode well for our future cause anything a nonTrump president does next will be compared to this and excused despite still being terrible, if only marginally less so.

Focusing on personalities is what allows people to get away with these republican-esque policies and still be considered democrats, cause if you're not against abortions and don't hate tan/gay people you're instantly good for the working poor, apparently.

It honestly depends on a variety of factors for me. The issues I see as most important and his rhetoric and actual results. For example, I'm pro-gun and generally anti-war. As long as we don't end up in a shooting war with Iran and we continue to get pro-second amendment judges on the federal bench, I will consider that to be a positive, for instance.

It also depends on who the democrats plan on running and what their platform is. I also have to consider state elections. We don't have any senators up, but we do have a governor election. So I have to decide if I'll be voting for the Republic incumbent (Mike Parson, who is only in office due to the former governor resigning) or someone like Nicole Galloway who has been turning heads.

He only uses Trump as his avatar because he knows it is completely obnoxious. XD
Hey, I resemble that.

You aren't going to get the Chosen One to fix everything, true. You might get a lesser evil, so it's not missing the entire point.
