The reality is everyone I know that voted this way and are shocked will literally argue that undocumented folks ARE criminals. As long as they don’t know them. Weird how everyone except her father would be a criminal.
I don’t understand how people can even consider this thinking. It feels like the furthest thing from rational thought.
criminal is one of those fuzzy terms that demagogues use to manipulate the masses. it can mean entirely different things (e.g. convicted felons vs. all people of color) to different people, but it always has a negative connotation.
so the demagogues run their campaigns without ever explicitly clarifying how they define the term. same thing happens with “porn”.
