    1. Because if the US gets rid of the problem, we don’t have a convenient ‘other’ enemy to point to when we want to dump money into the military or give an excuse for MAGAts to attack Mexican-Americans.

    2. Because then we wouldn’t have an excuse to invade Mexico. And make no mistake, he wants us to invade Mexico. Fascists need wars and ‘other’ enemies in order to keep people in their borders distracted and supportive.

    Canada is in danger too. His handlers need a war and they want resources, and Canada has a lot of natural resources to plunder.

    But he’ll go for Mexico first because it’s filled with brown people who we’ve been told are all terrorists who sneak over the border to take our jobs. It’s an easier target.








    1. People who’ve never met one, and find it easier to blame others for their issues than blame themselves or their friends.

    2. People who think white people are better. It’s not that they hate Mexicans, per se, it’s just that Mexicans are obviously inferior (or they’d be white!), and they’re getting all uppity, wanting to be treated like equals or some such nonsense.

    3. A combination of the above.





  • M’ granduncle was fond of saying: ‘figures don’t lie but liars can still figure’. So could be cherry-picked data to convince the moderates that voted for Trump or sat out the vote that he’s great after all actually no need to complain about him no sir.

    But more likely, given he’s making all the racists in the country happy by getting rid of DEI (which is their word-of-the-day stand-in for the n-word), and making all the religious fundies in the Bible Belt happy by getting rid of abortion and women’s rights, and the fact that almost all media is singing his praises…

    I’d say the Post’s numbers are off; his approval hasn’t dropped, or it has but ‘he’s doing the Lord’s work’ so people don’t care and applaud anyways even if they don’t agree.
