    Like most Republicans, these Long Island Republicans cannot express empathy at all until bad things happen to someone they know personally. So if there’s a silver lining to Trump’s pogroms targeting immigrants, it’s that they are so widespread that they are having the direct impact that will be necessary if these people would ever be able to see past the brainwashing.

    Time and time again, these misguided people say shit like “I thought he was only getting rid of the bad ones”. News flash - it was never about the criminals, it was about getting rid of everyone who wasnt born here, and then moving on to other undesirables, like gays, Liberals, and so on. Given time, we will all be the “bad ones” for one reason or another…

      They will cry , they will complain but in the end they will just vote Republican again.
