“We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time,” he said. “Some of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that’ll be the next job.”

    To be clear, this is where the Bush II years spiel about “real Americans,” which became even more prominent with the rise of Sarah Palin, was always going. This is the obvious end result of the “if you’re not with us, you’re with the terrorists” attitude of the Dubya administration.

    This has been festering for decades. Trump is just a symptom. An old, moldy, filthy symptom of a violently dangerous disease.

      The government has slowly been pushing a lot of people towards supporting “terrorists.” If only because these people are increasingly not actually terrorists and are just people who don’t like what the government is doing. You know, as is their first-amendment right.

    I would love to see Trump throw himself out. Or to have his government do it forcefully because they are following his orders.

      They won’t actually make it out of the country. They will be put in a concentration camp
