Arresting American citizens for nothing and bragging about it, I bet the Republicans have a lot of reasons why this is good and why everyone should be happy masked men in the streets will assault you and potentially kill you for the crime of being born here.

Reality gets very grim and you lose hope in others when you see people who you thought otherwise reasonable defending this.

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Perfect is the enemy of good. This is acceptable collateral damage. The number is surprisingly low. I've seen so many bullshit justifications like these.

sigh the thing is, and this is especially true for conservatives and bigots, what counts as “American,” regardless of citizenship paperwork or what arbitrary plot of land you were born in, is ultimately left to their own interpretation.
