“If you want to tell people, ‘Look, this guy is horrible, but we need to elect him because the other guy is worse,’ then fair, but you’re not going to convince anyone by excusing his indefensible actions.” -me

This idea that we can’t criticize his horrible actions is what I take issue with. It’s creepy, it’s cultlike, and it’s regressive.

I doubt the people who are imprisoned in those camps or being deported back to places where they will certainly perish give a fuck about who put them there. It’s the actions themselves that are morally and ethically indefensible.

Edit: Also, imagine explaining this to me when I do have family and friends being deported and detained. Pretty fucking tacky, don’t ya think?
