Immigration fuels our economy: immigrants make up over 19% of the U.S. workforce and start about 1 in 4 new businesses. Cutting off new workers and consumers, as Trump has done, slows growth and hurts everyone.
Trump is a bigoted asshole.

I’m starting to think that AI taking over wouldn’t be a bad thing given how stupid the people in charge of things seem to be. Bill should not only be in on the first ballot, but they should reserve special real-estate in the hall for a tribute to his career.

"In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added.

Yeah, he can say whatever he wants because he is just making shit up!
Trump on drug prices: "This is like hundreds of percent, depending on how you want to calculate it. You could say it's an 80% reduction or you could say it's a 1,000% reduction. You could say whatever you want."

Trump is not on the side of the Constitution or any of its amendments. He is on the side that takes away freedom and tramples rights. If people think there is a difference between liberal rights and conservative rights they are gravely mistaken.

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse."
Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.
