Okay, so: Should we cut health care to fund tax giveaways to the rich?
Ask voters what they think about that idea, and they’re not shy: they hate it.
Ask Republicans in Congress and Trump’s White House, and you find out it’s been their goal all along. 🧵

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
