Agreed! Not to get to off tanget, have you heard of Elle Cordova? - she is one of my favorite creators.
I can appreciate when someone uses language well.
What I find is that people hear what they want from politicians and a good linguist can cut through the noise and point out what the pols are actually saying.
Before the election, Trump was saying that he was going after criminals, and the people that voted for him who were in the immigrant and latin communities were hearing that and thinking gang bangers and robbers.. not realizing that undocumented people were also criminals in that they had broken immigration law.
No one wanted to hear it and I was out screaming at the top of my lungs this was going to come down like it was as Trump is a dyed in the wool racist. Was told I had TDS.. Really? Trump Derangement Syndrome isn't half as perilous an affliction as Trump Delusion Syndrome, in that the Hispanic Trump supporters thought he actually cared for them.
Now, they're getting harased and detained by ICE because they're not white.
TDS indeed.
The racism, that's old news actually - he got it from his father who was even more barefaced with his bigotry. There's a reason that President Eisenhower loathed Fred Trump, aside from scamming government funds for Veterans Housing, which used to build houses to bare minimum standards of quality and design for the times than pocketed the rest. He also redlined neighborhoods and took funds for public housing and used it to build homes in tonier neighborhoods which he sold for handsome profit. Fred Trump was an evil man. Out of all his children, he did the most damage to Donald.
The fruit did NOT fall far from that particular tree it grew on.
Please do check out Elle Cordova's work, it's delightful.
