    One interesting aspect of my interviews today with Trump backers in Duluth is that they frame the separation issue in terms of the guilty parent deserving to be separated from the child, while Trump critics around the country think of it in terms of the effect on the innocent kid

        Interesting approach. You might want to talk with someone at a state CPS who has to take kids from criminal or unfit parents. In a number of cases, those children’s lives are changed for the better.

        Trumpers have a problem understanding facts. They have no critical thinking ability.

        Guilty of seeking asylum? That is not a crime if they present themselves at a border crossing. But I guess all asylum seekers are "presumed guilty" here, even if they are innocent. Except Cubans, of course.

        Trump supporters tie themselves into pretzels trying to justify the crap he does.

        Well, I spent years working with families reconciling coming out of prison- they were separated by a choice of the parent. It’s sad, it’s heartbreaking, but it was parents who recognized their own role in the pain caused that were less like to repeat the act that caused it

        Yes. And anger at the parents. It’s a diversion tactic. They don’t want to look like they have no compassion, but the underlying thought I have is that they don’t.
