Let us be clear. We are in a national crisis. One that is as serious as we have ever experienced in this country. Our fate and how history will judge us, not just the country, but each one of us individually, hangs in the balance.
This "Zero Tolerance" immigration policy (read about it here) is of Trump and his band of miscreants. It is not a law passed by Congress or a previously unenforced tenet of existing immigration laws or a legal requirement being forced by Democrats. It is a new criminal policy of Trump's. He is using it as extortion leverage so Congress will pay for his "fucking wall" that Mexico has vowed to never pay for(he admits to this here). Trump, Sessions or any other supporter of this administration is no better than a kidnapper who holds a gun to a child's head and demands a ransom or else they will blow the brains of the child out of their head.
The far right and what used to be the Republican party, now what I call RepugnantKlans, like to make up stories about child sex rings run out of pizza parlors by the Clintons, Soros and Pelosi. Which, of course, is all bullshit. But this child abuse, sanctioned by the US government and carried out by the ICE brute squad is real. It is criminal. It is disgusting. It is inhuman.
Trump's policy is not just “un-American”, it is inhuman. The American government is now guilty of committing crimes against humanity on a mass scale and are no better than those who commit mass murder such as terrorists, crazed shooters or the Nazis.
If you are a supporter of Trump, you are complicit. You are as guilty, bereft of morals and soulless as he is. This is no longer a political issue. It is a human rights issue, it is a human decency issue, it is a human issue. Just as slavery, torture or murder are all abhorrent to human decency, so is this. History will judge those who acted in accordance with humanity and those who did not.
We all have to decide now: am I human or am I inhuman? The test of this question will be decided by who you support during this national crisis. There can be no defense, reason or justifiable purpose to separate innocent children from their loved ones, terrorizing them by caging them and keeping them against their will, simply because their parents were looking for a better life. It goes against EVERY religious creed, every concept of justice and every ideology that purports to value or defend Equality and Freedom.
As for myself, if you support this policy by supporting Trump, I no longer want to know you. Supporting Trump is no longer about having different political ideologies. It's about having differences in understanding what it is to be decent, moral and just. In short, for me it's about what it is to be human versus a rabid beast or animal.
The test is here and the choice is ours.
