From Green Eagle:
…not a single comment I have heard is willing to get to the real point of Trump’s inhumanity toward immigrant children.
Yes, of course, this is part of a systematic stirring up of race hatred and a lust for violence in his base, to hopefully get them out on election day and keep the Republican party in charge. That in itself is one of the most miserable things that has ever happened in the history of our country, at least since the days of slavery and beating down the Indians. But as malignant as it is, I believe it is only secondary to another purpose of this behavior, which up to this point, no one, from whatever end of the political spectrum, has been able to face.
For, I believe, the main purpose of this behavior is to make it clear that Trump has the power, and will use that power, to destroy the lives of anyone who stands up to him.
