1. That was hard to watch. GOP/Trump power depends on the dumbing down of American citizens.

Betsy DeVos is doing her best/worst to destroy public education and critical thinking.

It may take generations to repair the damage.

They lack any knowledge of history, they don't know the affect of the US involvement in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala...or the dictators that the US supported!!!

These idiots think that they "did everything right" raising their kids, and don't understand why these immigrants can't just do what they did. I wonder how many of them saw their ten-year-olds threatened with being pressed into murderous gangs, or allowed themselves to be raped to save the lives of their children.

They act like people are traveling 2,000 grueling miles and risking literally EVERYTHING just so they can come here to pick crops or wash dishes for jerks like the ones in this interview because...AMERICA! or something.

If there is one thing I hate most about the cheetoh it's the anger and hatred that he has inspired, both in asshats like these, and in me.

12. Some of those supporters, as they say in Mexico, still have a cactus paddle strapped to the forehead

In other words, fresh arrivals themselves, maybe first or second generation Americans of Mexican descent.

Self loathing is so disgusting.
