    Further, is wishing that someone you perceive as having an immense power and direct negative impact on you and your community would lose that power—even via dying—really comparable to dehumanizing an entire class of people?

    Yes. Trump didn’t impact your life in a negative way, especially when compared to illegals.

    Either everyone has value or they don’t. Don’t claim higher ground and then say everyone but Trump as it makes you look like a chump.

      Since you don’t know the immigration policies where I am I can’t comprehend how you are able to claim that assertion.

      Either everyone has value or they don’t. Don’t claim higher ground and then say everyone but Trump as it makes you look like a chump.

      Again, kindly point to where I have used dehumanizing language to refer to trump here.
      I don’t believe I even personally wished his death when I pointed out hypothetical third parties you brought up potentially doing so was not comparable to striping a class of people of personhood through the language used to refer to them.

        I can. If you’re not a US citizen then Trump policies on immigration didn’t impact you in a negative way.

        I never said you. Keep up. I said the left. I remember watching the horrible comments they make as people die.

        So generally speaking the left doesn’t agree with you and illegal is shorthand for illegal immigrant or criminal in most cases.

          You don’t think things US presidents do can effect other nations? Further you didn’t state “immigration policies” when you said

          Trump didn’t impact your life in a negative way

          I would argue trump has done me more personal harm by ruining my enjoyment of Home Alone 2 than any undocumented immigrant has done me by being undocumented.

          I never said you. Keep up. I said the left.

          Ah, but you VERY MUCH did say “you”. 👇

          Either everyone has value or they don’t. Don’t claim higher ground and then say everyone but Trump as it makes you look like a chump.

          Emphasis mine.

          That doesn’t even address what “the left” ostensibly doing something has to do with what standards someone who seemingly does not hold themself to be a member of that group should hold themself.

            Sure. That’s why we are a super power. That doesn’t make wishing death acceptable.

            You just figured out he was in it recently ?

            Ah, but you VERY MUCH did say “you”

            Are you a conservative? Or are you on the left ?

            It rhymed. Anyways, what group are you part of?

              That doesn’t make wishing death acceptable.

              Some would argue it makes it more acceptable, prayers to Santa Muerte being the only way they have of effecting a person they can’t vote out who has power over their life.

              You just figured out he was in it recently ?

              What makes you think the harm is recent?

              Are you a conservative? Or are you on the left ?

              Are you asking me to engage in identity politics? 🤨

                Not at all but you use the language of the left and the logic of the left.

                  English? Puedo cambiar a un idioma diferente si lo deseas.

                  Або ваша проблема в тому, що я використовував латинський алфавіт?
                  如果你想让我们更“右”一点,我可以尝试一下普通话。

                    Words like no humans are illegal and all people matter except the ones like Trump.

                    It’s an illogical shit show.
