Trumper sister on kids held in Trump concentration camps

[CousinIT]

I expressed concern about he innocent little kids in the camps along the border, specifically that they may end up being sex trafficked if they haven't already. Here's what I got back:

"Well, a lot of them were trafficked where they came from. And a lot of them didn't come here with their parents, they came here with the traffickers who posed as parents. They were already being trafficked. And the older ones are working for the traffickers and being paid by them. And a lot of these people from other countries sell their kids to traffickers because they need the money."

I asked her how she knows this....where did she get the information?

Crickets.....her husband is a Q-Anon idiot/Trumper. I believe THAT is where she got it.

In fact everyone in my family are Trump-humpers except me and one brother. My Mom isn't but she's 92 and doesn't even vote anymore because she isn't physically able (blind). And my sister is happy to not help her since she's a Democrat.

So sister knows - for a fact - somehow - that all these kids in Trump's concentration camps are not innocent little children ripped from their parents, but already-trafficked children who came over here with people posing as their parents, not their parents, or they were already sold to traffickers by their parents.

Huh.

1. Ah, the quality of mercy strained through a sub-micron filter

This is the attitude I engage when the topic of abortion comes up. We do a piss-poor job of taking care of the 7+ billion people on the planet now, and anti-choice folks want to bring in more children who aren't wanted or who are going to add to the plight of already over-burdened parents? So a refugee child may have been sex-trafficked before he or she got here. That makes them unworthy of assistance? A sex-trafficked child should be discarded like a used tissue? It's okay for children to be caged and sit in their own feces because their parents were so desperate as to apply to Trump's America for sanctuary?

Cruelty is the point for folks like your sister.

4. Exactly. It's an excuse to not give a damn.

She's essentially saying: "Well they're already abused, trafficked and homeless so let's imprison them! I don't have to care about them!"

2. Um, even if that was true

Is it somehow better to put human trafficking victims in prison camps? Does that suddenly make it okay?

3. I have a sister who used to believe that "Illuminati" crap.

I showed her all the information about the real Illuminati, the conspiracy theories and such.

She gave up her pet beliefs (at least I think she did,) because otherwise she would end up looking like a total moron in front of her big brother, me.
And that was the important thing.

I asked my sister where she got all this crap in the first place, and she told me she used to listen to a lot of talk radio.

I pointed out that talk radio is dominated by conservakooks like Limbaugh, Savage, etc.

That's probably where your sister got her "information."

5. This is one of the most repulsive interviews I have ever read.

If the children were sex trafficked they should elicit more sympathy. They need more help than most. Instead, she acts judgmental toward them. They are victims.

6. Republican mindset: "I only care about MYself and MY family..."

"I should not be expected to care about or PAY for anyone else's"

(IOW, "I got mine, f*ck you.&quot

That's it. I mean look at their King: TRUMP. He's the walking epitome of such malignant narcissism and selfishness.

7. I couldn't deal...

my sister starts talking trash, and I won't play. She either sticks to 'safe' subjects..like her life...or we don't talk at all. I blew a gasket one too many times. Probably didn't bother her at all, but I had a gasket to repair.

8. I know how we're supposed to value family

Above all else but after 8 years of listening to my in-laws call Obama a foreign born Muslim I refuse to spend any more time with them now that they’re all pro trump. They never really liked me anyway since I’m not a holy roller christian and half Jewish to boot. If my husband wants to see his brother, he can go without me. Life’s too short to spend it with hypocrites.

9. When my Mom is gone ....

...It will be a rare visit I tell ya. Mom lives with Trumper sister and she does take good care of her, at least. But once she's gone....I'll be avoiding that part of the family for a good long while. I won't say anything but I won't be going for as many visits.

10. They just make shit up and then think that since THEY made it up...

that makes it true.

11. Have they lost their ability to think logically and remember the past?

Because that is where they are weakest. Just have them play out the whole thing logically to determine what is accurate and what is bullshit. In order for anyone to conclude that tRUMP and republicans are right, they would knowingly admit to being an imbecile... If and when they do that, ridicule the hell out of them for it and don't give them an inch of cover. That is the only way to stop it.

Also bring up the past going back to the 80s and tRUMP's record for being right or smart, since he has wrong about everything. Throw in that when the 2007-2008 crash happened and nobody got loans for anything, but tRUMP was getting lavish loans from somewhere.. Again, ridicule them to come up with an answer about who was financing him the last decade.
