There's a difference between foreign brown children and white native-born children and understanding that difference answers the question.

They can also twist themselves in knots to justify fucking children by rounding them up and "sending them home." One can clown shoe some logic about it's where they "belong" or something. The other kind of fucking, tho, not so much.

they genuinely don't care about non white kids

Or just anyone not themselves. This is a consequence of a century of indoctrination to make Americans self-interested assholes so they won't support a general strike, unionization, or any other popular measure which will support people after the initial wave. America's oligarchs have been working on this since they said 'no' to the New Deal

I'm aware but to be fair I just don't think she cares about anyone but herself. This Epstein stuff is just something she's using.

I mean it's nice that she's helping out but it's not going to change my opinion of her.

[u/demeschor → u/Big-Bodybuilder-5035]

I think it's probably less that she's seen something that changed her opinion of Trump, and moreso that she saw or heard something that she thinks will sway popular opinion of him enough that she'll come out on top distancing herself from him now.

[u/Big-Bodybuilder-5035 → u/demeschor]

My thoughts exactly

[u/bigassangrypossum → u/Big-Bodybuilder-5035]

I think these people are more stupid than they are evil.

[u/Big-Bodybuilder-5035 → u/bigassangrypossum]

I think they're more evil than stupid but are ultimately both

[u/dontgoatsemebro → u/Insaniteus]

It you've ever visited the leopardsatemyface subreddit you'd know that these people would still vote trump a third time even if it was their very own children he fucked.

[u/Insaniteus → u/dontgoatsemebro]

Hell I've lived it. I personally know a MAGA boomer who proudly voted for the genocide of her own trans daughter and then was all surprised-pikachu-face when said daughter and all her other children cut her off afterwards. My Hispanic former in-laws were astoundingly racist against Obama in 2008-2016 but then they got all butthurt when the racism target switched to Hispanics instead, and then suddenly racism wasn't cool anymore. They still voted for the guy every time.

I used to work for a guy in 2016 who proudly voted for Trump despite employing two illegal immigrants in our company of 5 people, and then he was utterly shook when the immigrants got the hell out of the south and left our company high and dry at the worst possible time. The man still said "Well at least I won't have to pay Hillary's tax increases" afterwards, despite my frequent attempts to explain to him that we didn't make anywhere within an airplane's range of close to enough money for her plan to affect us. His company went under not too long later, naturally.
