Would it be ethical to call ICE on people whose spouse is an immigrant (legal or not) or even just brown skinned when they themselves voted for Donald? Could this lead to enough face eating they might actually revise their views?
There have been others in similar situations (Trump supporters whose spouses were ~~kidnapped~~ "arrested" by ICE), and they still claimed to support him so I don't think it's going to help. These idiots are conditioned to be sycophants to bullies from early on in their childhood, and on some deeply subconscious level they're just trying to guess what they have to do to please the head bully in their lives in order to have any chance of getting what they want for themselves.
That's why it's so irrational - what passes for their "thinking processes" are actually those of a wildly panicking child just trying to come up with whatever they can that will help them escape the wrath of their tormentor. It's all so ingrained since their youth that they've long since forgotten why they "think" the way they do. So they continue kissing Trump's ass in the hopes it'll molify him enough let them be.
Not ethical. The people being harmed are people who had no say in the process. The better option would be to sponsor the spouse, find a place they can stay safe from ICE, and get them clear from their captor.
Anyone who voted for trump a 3rd time is so far out of touch with reality that there is no coming back. It's a cult, and it would take a lot of specialists to deprogram them all at this point.
Sounds like I need to study to become a deprogramming specialist.
No, you dont vote for Trump becase he's the best person to run the country and take the nation foward by trying to unite it, you don't ever vote for a Repiblocan if you're an immigrant. You voted for him becase you're stupid, gullible, bigoted or some combination, or you're entitled and filthy rich.
If that is you, theb logic and critical thinking aren't even part of your political thought process and that won't change
