Along with all the things I’ll never understand about Trump supporters, I don’t grok how they don’t eventually run screaming into the madhouse every time he says “it’s a place called x” or “it’s a thing called x” or, (the very worst) “it’s a word called x”.

Sorry, but this is some hardcore CRAP.
The “economic anxiety” of the rural “noble savage” is offensive BS.
It’s bilious, pseudo-sociological hogwash to posit that “native” revanchism/resentment arises from some deep, semi-mystical attunement with a cherished tribal way of real-country-livin’.

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

ICE aren’t even “real” cops so you can imagine the washouts and perverts that make up the whole agency. Probably legions of wife-beaters and diddlers who get their peckers hard being the literal gestapo. Hope they rot in a hell of their own design.
