I mean, I definitely wasn’t implying it was an equal issue lol.

At the risk of saying the dreaded words, both sides honestly have a problem with calling anything they believe to be unjust “illegal” with no real understanding of the law. The key difference being that it’s the fucking president on this side and randoms on the internet and in town halls and in the media saying it on the other.

Yeah, turns out they just do that lol

You can say kill or murder here.

They get far more money being the foil of leftist movements by making themselves the only option for anything less far right than the conservatives and then paying lip service to the left while continuing to support moderate conservative policy.

I mean specifically this type of guy on how they are confused about how laws are enforced.

A lot of Trump supporters I think just don’t really think things through critically and are mad about the economy and crime and homelessness and the drug epidemic and are swept up by the idea that someone is actually acknowledging those issues properly. Because the establishment has sure refused to actually tackle them for a long time. And Democrats can’t help themselves but make themselves look even worse by constantly trying to introduce little nanny bullshit as well and they get a pretty deserved reputation as being a mixture of bought and paid for and nanny state trying to ban things and raise taxes. Republicans aren’t all that popular either anymore, people want serious anti-establishment candidates and failing a real one they’ll get excited about a fake one.

They are white and conservative and have likely never known poverty, every interaction they’ve had with the law has been the most reasonable and generous interpretation of it. They assumed that’s what Trump meant. That Trump wanted to deport the criminal element that everyone else was specifically protecting and refusing to acknowledge. They’d never seen firsthand the law applied cruelly against people they consider to be good people. They really still believed law enforcement was there to “do good” and protect “good” people, because that’s most of how they’ve dealt with them personally.
