    Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to throw this in every Trump voter’s face any time they mention the border or national security ever again. They’ll be back to know-nothing cockroach status again in 2025.

      Yeah, that’ll work about as well as reminding them about the Reagan tax cuts, Bush’s wars, and Trump’s fuckery ballooned the national debt that they’re always so “worried” about.

            Somebody I know tried to lie and say Trump was good for the economy because the steel trade war with China was somehow a patriotic, protectionist thing to do. Most of the rest of the family is not as educated as we are and don’t really care how something like steel tariffs work. I like to let a lot of bullshit go, but not that time.

            In pretty much any policy field you can find examples of how Trump mechanically goes against the things he says he is.

            Sabotaging the border deal was the worst thing he could have done. Man could have been unofficial speaker of the house and he blew it because of his ego, maybe not thinking straight on account of 91 felony indictments

      I can tell you exactly what they’ll say, actually, “The Bill gave billions to Ukraine and Israel and 20 Million for border defence what a joke” and at that point you should remind them that they instead decided to give $0 to the border defence, delegitimized Abbot’s perimeter for drowning women and children, and the next time the GOP have power they still won’t do anything because they’ll have created another massive deficit like they always do.
