    1. Because if the US gets rid of the problem, we don’t have a convenient ‘other’ enemy to point to when we want to dump money into the military or give an excuse for MAGAts to attack Mexican-Americans.

    2. Because then we wouldn’t have an excuse to invade Mexico. And make no mistake, he wants us to invade Mexico. Fascists need wars and ‘other’ enemies in order to keep people in their borders distracted and supportive.

    Canada is in danger too. His handlers need a war and they want resources, and Canada has a lot of natural resources to plunder.

    But he’ll go for Mexico first because it’s filled with brown people who we’ve been told are all terrorists who sneak over the border to take our jobs. It’s an easier target.







    1. People who’ve never met one, and find it easier to blame others for their issues than blame themselves or their friends.

    2. People who think white people are better. It’s not that they hate Mexicans, per se, it’s just that Mexicans are obviously inferior (or they’d be white!), and they’re getting all uppity, wanting to be treated like equals or some such nonsense.

    3. A combination of the above.





  • Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland? In fifty years’, thirty years’, ten years’ time the world will be very nearly back on its old course. History always has a great weight of inertia.

    -Terry Pratchett (Lords and Ladies)

    Been thinking about this quote a lot lately. The fact that Trump is so popular shows that he’s just the symptom of a deeper, possibly terminal disease.
