You’re not wrong, but one might argue that he’s motivated by grift and easy money and has found a way to motivate large swaths of morons to act in unison and to his advantage

DHS has ordered that all documentation cease using the term immigrants and replace it with “alien”

Government by trolling

Yes. That was the message in the article you created the thread with.

Look out at Mother Nature. That birds nest where only 2 of the 5 eggs make it, or where the mother and father birds spend 18 hours of everyday doing nothing but flying back and forth finding food. Or look at that clutch of sea turtles where only 13 out of many hundreds get to the ocean before being eaten, and then 10 of those get eaten in the water. Look at that group of squirrels that starve over the winter, or that family of deer trying to survive when it’s minus 30 degrees outside. Humans have it pretty great when you step back and look at things objectively, yet we whine and talk about suffering. It takes a certain baseline level of wellbeing and entitlement to even the have time to consider such things instead of figuring out how you’re gonna survive the night or help your offspring do the same.

Immigrants, transgendered, and anyone else deemed to be unsavory by the mob will be targeted, and rather often it will done by those specifically sworn to protect them. The only way to overcome that is for enough good people to stand up and say, no. Not today. Not on my watch. Burke: “Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents” (1770): "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

It’s more Deepak Chopra than creationist IMO, but po-tay-toe po-tah-toe… six to one, half dozen to another.

Even if only for the way it signals that now the federal government itself has classified LGBTQ as sub-human. Easy targets. No consequences. Signaling is a lot of what’s happening, like the commutation of even violent January 6 offenders. It shows vigilantism and political violence is encouraged so long as you’re defending “our” side you’ll be supported.

Which version / release? Depends on the employer, and the job.

Social media makes it worse, but this also happens as generations pass. Those who witnessed the horrors of WWII are basically now all dead and not around to slap their grandkids for being idiots

Gullibility? Ignorance? Preference for simple falsehoods over hard truths? I could go on

No excuse required. I’ll comment wherever and however I please (until I’m restrained by group norms and enforcers of them)

He will target them with sanctions if they refuse and extort them into compliance. He will also order US forces to drop the people there as if to “dare” the receiving nations not to accept. Expect local sheriffs and off the books militias / shooting clubs to play a big role even if that’s not how it appears on paper. Maybe more to the point people are being “educated” by forces who don’t always have the best interests of others as a priority. The AfD stuff in DE is more a start to this and not an end, sadly.

Xenophobia often alters targets but rarely underlying causes.

That’s a fault of humans not of science Depends on how one defines free will. Also off-topic
