    If nothing that’s happened yet had convinced them, then not much will. There are even people now who are personally affected by his shit that can’t smell it.

      People still believe he’s only going after people who break the law, even though ICE is also arresting people going through legal immigration processes

        I was listening to recent focus groups talking about him and this idea that he is a tough guy going after bad guys was a unifying theme. Its bizarre to hear it but for the people caught up in the Republican media ecosystem there’s still this whole other Trump. Despite all the evidence they cling to this image of him as some kind of powerful and macho leader.

          Yep. I occasionally hear the fucking stupid doj advertisement about how trump is arresting murderers and violent felons. I always want to shake the people around who are nodding along with it and ask them how they can only bring up a few cases out of the massive amount of people snatched off the streets.
