This is an exchange I had with a Trump voter at a rally several years ago. www.newyorker.com/news/our-col...
New rule: to comment negatively about immigrants, you have to first disclose why your own family members immigrated to the US seeking a better life, and why people facing much worse shouldn’t have the same opportunity. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Thinking back now, I would've asked her if she thought a Mexican immigrant who has not done anything should be allowed to cross the border illegally to make the double-standard even starker, but my brain had been so fried by her admission that I didn't. I could feel it sizzling.

Nothing makes sense until you can truly mentally accept that there's no objective standard, there's only "my team good, anything pro-them =good, anything anti-them or pro-anyone else =bad." Any claim that they're mad about X, think X should be punishable etc, is reasoning backwards from there.
