President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[Moliere]

Tweak? He already defended them deporting legal immigrants to prisons

He said he wants evryone but dreamers gone. Kids arent dreamers

What does "tweak their methods" mean? That sounds like a non-criticism of some pretty egregious behaviors.

I rest my case.

Stick around!

One of the problems with the political category is some folks really struggle with nuance. Everything is black and white. Also, when some posters encounter an opinion that disturbs them, they seem personally offended and go after the poster in question rather than just counter the arguments. You just have to learn to ignore that stuff.

This is 99% of online political discourse. This place isn't unique in that way (although we are generally much more mild in our disagreements here).

Nuance and composure in political discussions are exceedingly rare. Human nature I suppose. Certain personalities can navigate it much better than others. I love political discussions and don't get emotional often. But I'm not great at political debates and they'll stress me out. So I don't really engage in them. Open discussion of ideas and philosophy is more my speed.

I consider myself a moderate conservative. I try not to venture too much into politics these days though (I’m happier that way).

Do you not think people are respectful?

You just answered your own question. I feel there are some on here that are not respectful.

I ignore for the most part. That doesn't mean there isn't hostility. I can handle hostility but it tends to bring comments like Falawful's.

I rest my case.

it seems you missed shaka saying he is ok with these things in this very thread

[Shaka]

Shame on shaka for posting a non-criticism!

Woe is me!

[Shaka]

And for those who want to kick any and all lgbt students out of byu

Are there any of those on this board?

[frank ryan]

I rest my case.

You didn't make one. You're trying to emphasize Shaka isn't a MAGA guy and is critical of some parts of the ICE abuses.
Im not sure what he means by tweaking it because he hasn't exactly been critical.

JL, I'm expressing disagreement with Shaka. I don't hate him or think he is a bad person. In fact, I think he's a good dude.

I don't think personal attacks fly around very much here.

Most of us are happily married but you never know.

Are there any of those on this board?

Why would that matter? The experience of people outside of one's own perspective and experience isn't the issue.

[chrisrenrut]

Last year they were lying about immigrants eating animals.

This year they are excited that animals might be eating immigrants
