  1. People who live in perpetual fear turn into people who vote for Republicans. So yes this is definitely part of the benefit.

  2. The GOP doesn’t care to feed kids or have them not shot at school. They don’t care. They won’t care.

  4. Their parents hurt them, not politics. They entered illegally, birthed a child, and now expect citizenship? Send em back.

  5. Notice how all the “don’t tread on me” people are cheering for the government to kick down doors and abduct people.

  6. Many layers of crisis will ensue. Even if they really do try to keep the families together.. what happens to all the pets?

  7. remember the people who voted for this condone it, never let the blame fall on trump and never forget. They want to hate and hurt with their hate, fine, remember their hate. And if they cry they care about children, remind them of this

  8. Whatever makes their tiny penises feel just a bit bigger, they’ll do it. Destroy lives? Ruin the environment? Support death abroad? Capitulate to dictatorship? Sure, so long as the schlong feels a lil’ bit longer.

  9. Epigenetics is the tyrant’s future friend.

    I expect public torture and execution to return successfully.

    Remember Trump’s armed insurrectionists repeatedly shouting “Hang Mike Pence”?

    Or the gallows for him erected at the Capitol?

  10. How is it fair that New York City gave $1400 a month to illegal immigrant families for food while struggling families that are American citizens receive less than a quarter of that in food stamps?

    Another reason why the Democrats lost the election. The American working class rebelled against the far lefts insane policies.

  11. When actual lizard man Stephen Miller was asked about US citizen children losing their parents to deportation his reply was that the kids could be deported too.

    Buckle up, it’s going to be a really shit four years.

  13. We learned in trump’s first term via the “kids in cages” program that the cruelty was the point.

    That is, the cruelty wasn’t an accidental side effect of the policy, being cruel was the explicit purpose.

  14. Millions of children are already hurt before him.

    He’s just making it worse and can we fix this system?

  15. Donate to the ACLU. They have a head start on this because they have seen it all before. The ACLU won several cases about the child separation policy, but they came too late. The children were already separated, and the records were destroyed.

  16. 2025 author “we are going to put children in cages, it’s going to be glorious!”

  18. Good. May their families rise up with torches, pitchforks or whatever and demand sanity.

  19. I may get flamed for this, but the US borders were artificially made up by dead white slaveholding men. Why should any of us give a rats behind about an imaginary line in the desert?? This country was built more by black slaves and their descendants and brown people then any white redneck who can’t add two plus two.

    We’ve heard Newsome, Polis, Whitmer, Pritzinger all say they will resist this fascist administration. They better do it with every means and man at their disposable, otherwise they will just be another bunch of effing hypocrites.

  20. Of course it’s intentional and the assholes who voted for him (and those who abstained from voting) are perfectly happy with that.

  21. Don’t children of prisoners experience this as well?

  22. The cruelty is the point, and so many claim to be religious, proving that religion is fake, imo.

  24. Another stupid knee jerk reaction by ignorant fools believing they are right… and forgetting the other side of the story.
    On the face of it they think they will solve a drug problem or will safeguard jobs for US citizens and yet none of these things are true. These are just words that sound right to the ignorant masses who voted this guy back in.

  25. Trump scares the whole GOP into doing whatever he says and Trump doesn’t even care about his own kids! He’s a narcissist to the bone! It’s all about him and his image. I’m not even sure if we normal Americans can do anything about deporting people. Have you really been looking at project 2025? It’s something that will take over a decade to undo! To save America there’s going to be collateral damage to immigrants, our foreign allies, low income families and anyone in America who’s not wealthy. Working class people are about to be oppressed like never before. I’m union and in project 2025 they plan on voiding any and all union contracts so no worker protections. No overtime! It’s going to get bleak for all the people who depend on paychecks. The wealthy are insulated from project 2025 so it’s nothing to them. Best be looking into what they called victory gardens in WW2 deporting the people who work in farming and the people who process food in plants. Inflation is going to become a crisis for working class families and project 2025 is just the first 100 days in office game plan! That’s May 2025.
    That’s 6 months away. Trump intends to punish the states that didn’t vote for him. I wouldn’t live in a state that did! I’m west coast and not one single west coast state voted for him! He’s made it perfectly clear that he’s out for revenge and wants to punish the enemies who are against him in our own country. That’s me in a nutshell!

  26. Trauma isn’t the byproduct. It’s the intention

  28. One of the things to note about Project 2025 is how it discusses family, specifically, single mothers, in that, the state simply should not offer them assistance and that Project 2025 offers pretty explicit disdain for them; also presumably this indifference would extend to single fathers, as somehow I doubt these people actually care about the struggle of men who don’t wish to date (whether by choice, or after being widowed or divorced) but still want to raise a/their family.

    Indeed, Project 2025 explicitly spells out the only valid family structure is heterosexual pairing of a man and woman; explicitly calling out single mothers as a “problem” that needs to be fixed by… punishing single mothers. Presumably how single fathers fits into this dynamic is the presumption men can just replace women… like an appliance, which is why they(single fathers) don’t make much of an explicit appearance in the document.

    What I am basically trying to say is…when they tear apart these families, they are going to offer little to no assistance to the parent that is either here legally or an American citizen. Its going to tear apart the structure of American society pretty quickly already by itself…like a lot of their proposed policies elsewhere actually.
