      Let me tell you how this administration doesn't think it's child abuse to snatch children away from their parents and then lock them in cages with strangers. They don't see these kids or their parents as fully human. They've dehumanized them first. That's the first step here.

      The first step of the trans-Atlantic slave trade was to dehumanize Africans. The first step to almost complete genocide of Native Americans was to dehumanize them. Colonizers and oppressors first dehumanize then they victimize. It eases their conscience.

      Trump has spent years now dehumanizing border-crosses as animals, rapists, and murderers. He doubled down on it earlier today. That step is an essential one. That dehumanization precedes genocide. It's what makes it palatable & acceptable to millions - as polls now show.

          This whole situation is insane. If it were any other country they would be crucifying the government. But I guess they're scared that the administration may cut more funding from UN.

          Yet so many of his followers claim to be christian's. I don't know what bible they read but it's not one about loving your neighbor.

          Agree, but that’s how he has always governed. Point to a brown enemy (Muslims,People of the African diaspora, Latinos), dehumanize them (shithole counties,rapists,terrorists),put forward a policy that harms said people and USA looks other way.

          “Our dehumanization of the Negro then is indivisible from our dehumanization of ourselves: the loss of our own identity is the price we pay for our annulment of his.” Baldwin; now it’s to dehumanize brown immigrant children #KeepingFamiliesTogether

          That was my exact thought, they view these parents and children as animals, therefore they will treat them as such. This is the only way to justify this savage and barbaric treatment of other human beings.
