Kids in cages

[fridi]

Let's look at this from another angle. In about 10-15 years some of these kids in Cages presently panicked and shrieking for mother are going to be hormone rushed teens or 20+ and with memories of the American brutes with uniforms, badges, and guns who tore them away from their screaming, pleading, agonized, terrorized, and utterly powerless mothers. At that time Americans will once again scratch their heads and wonder, "Why do they hate us?"

Let's also not forget the cartels themselves (the ones who smuggle those kids to the border and subject them to all sorts of abuse on the way) are mostly funded by American drug habits. How much can a nation exploit and abuse other societies before they finally admit culpability? How many human rights abuses are we okay with excusing for the protection of an imaginary line in the sand?

I guess it makes sense that the right move for the most powerful and arrogant country on Earth is prosecuting and further abusing people who are already taken advantage of instead of, ya know, attacking the actual organized crime infrastructure that allows that kind of thing to exist.

But looking at the larger picture, Trump uses children to try to get a wall he said he would get Mexico to pay for. He uses tariffs to isolate our allies, and try to bully them to pay more. He uses pulling out of previous united agreements, unless he or his family gets a sweet side deal. He tries to use Dreamers to get funds, get Democrats to fund his projects, and to pass legislation. He uses the Republicans to help the rich with tax perks, privatized contracts for his buddies and his family, and other things to help the very wealthy. He uses those who work for him and any that support him, to accept and make excuses for his lies and negative behavior.

Trump is someone who uses people. The acceptance and enablement of his agenda, has lowered the quality and bar of America standards. America has less integrity, less standing on the world stage, less respect, less family values, more divisiveness between the isolated Whites of the 60's, and the Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and minorities of the present. America has fundamentally changed to where there is a fundamental disgust and difference between two types of human beings that exist on Earth. Those that care, and those that don't.

And that's just the beginning of the whole "Making America Great Again" thing.
