Comment on Trump announces up to 30K illegal immigrants will be sent to Guantanamo Bay
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 days agoI didn’t vote for Trump but I always support my president. I supported Biden. Obama. Etc. we should always want to be successful as their success is our success.
That said, I am 100% against this and it ticks me off that he’s talking about it. All Americans should be concerned if we start shipping people to gitmo

I can’t vote for Trump (I’m Dutch). Would have probably voted for him though. Another 4 years of Biden would have made Europe a socialists paradise. At least now there is some push back.
I don’t understand the ‘I will always support my president’ - maybe that’s a US thing. If you think the guy is a nutcase, why support him. The US is more than a president. Companies, states and people can thrive under bad management.
Not sure what to think of the Guantanamo Bay policy. If it is only used for low life criminals I am not too bothered with it. If it causes randomly sending illegals there and treating them inhumanly I wouldn’t support that.

The point is that your guy doesn’t always win, but as a country, we need to support our leadership. Otherwise, nothing gets done, and people just bitch for four years.
That doesn’t mean you can’t disagree from time to time or vote against them, but the constant everything that person does is bad, is just counterproductive. Trump could cure the answer, and the left would still complain about it. That doesn’t help our country move forward.
On reddit there is a bot attack where people are saying let’s list all the MAGA places and stop doing business with them. It is funny when people realize many of the places they love and people they know supported Trump and they wouldn’t have anywhere to go if they stopped doing business with MAGA people.

Yeah, a good buddy of mine is a hardcore socialist and I am a libertarian. We sometimes talk politics and still have fun. Why not. Discuss and let the best argument win.

Exactly. Most the time people will find commonality.
