Trump’s Immigration Policies: Combining Ignorance, Incompetence, and Racism

Trump’s immigration policies, including his pledge for mass deportations, are a dangerous mix of ignorance, racism, and incompetence that threaten to wreck the U.S. economy. Immigrants contribute over $27 billion in taxes annually and are essential to industries like agriculture, healthcare, and construction. Deporting millions would devastate these sectors, driving up prices, lowering GDP by as much as $1.6 trillion, and reigniting inflation.

Trump’s racist rhetoric falsely paints immigrants as criminals, despite overwhelming evidence showing that undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens. Economists predict mass deportations would lead to higher unemployment, a housing market crash, and widespread poverty, especially in mixed-status families. Moreover, Trump plans to deport legally protected immigrants under programs like TPS, further destabilizing communities and hurting the economy. Supporting such policies isn’t patriotic—it’s economic suicide, fueled by racism and ignorance. Trump’s so-called “America First” agenda is, in reality, an attack on American families and workers, designed to placate his most xenophobic supporters.

Here’s how to save Americans from Republican-led misinformation

  • by

Atheists have an advantage in exposing theism as untenable—their arguments remain constant, unlike Republican propaganda, which shifts every 2-4 years with each election cycle’s new set of fake issues. From trickle-down economics to ‘stop the steal,’ purveyors of truth face an ever-changing landscape of misinformation. Meanwhile, millions are engulfed in a 24/7 stream of right-wing propaganda, voting against their own interests in favor of billionaires.

Genuine journalism offers an escape, but right-wing media indoctrinates, making its followers resistant to facts. A Fox News viewer knows less than someone who watches no news at all. The most promising solution? Litigation. Alex Jones was sued into bankruptcy, and Fox News paid $787.5 million for election lies. Imagine a charity that funds lawsuits against disinformation. As fake networks face legal consequences, viewers might return to reputable news, reversing propaganda’s damage and restoring America’s grasp on reality.

Federal Reserve Lowers Interest Rates—Signaling Democratic Success

  • by

Donald Trump’s economic mismanagement, particularly through trade wars, tax cuts for the wealthy, and a catastrophic COVID-19 response, played a major role in driving inflation—an issue that has been wrongly blamed solely on President Joe Biden. As Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted in December 2020, monetary policy operates with “long and variable lags,” meaning that the effects of Trump’s policies, including aggressive monetary interventions to counter the pandemic, laid the groundwork for inflation that manifested under Biden’s term. Republican propaganda has conveniently shifted blame onto Biden while ignoring the delayed consequences of Trump’s decisions.

However, the Biden-Harris administration’s Inflation Reduction Act helped stabilize inflation, particularly by supporting low-income workers and ensuring wage growth kept pace with rising costs. Today, with the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, it’s clear that Democrats have won the battle on inflation. The question remains: Why would anyone want to return to the policies of the person who caused the problem in the first place? Trump’s reckless economic strategy favored the rich, disrupted supply chains, and burdened ordinary Americans, while Biden’s leadership has delivered relief and recovery for the people that needed it the most. F right-wing propaganda.

Republicans have disinformed voters so significantly that they moved the political center in USA

  • by

It’s nothing to be proud of, especially considering the threat they now pose, but it’s something they’ve done incredibly well. I’ve referred to the work by Political Compass for many years and want to share their assessment of 2024 (attached). But I also want us to talk about the great harm Republicans have caused to America.

Are you as frustrated as I am with this one thing they’ve done well? They’ve convinced people that centrist-right politicians are the radical left, all while moving us towards a theocratic or authoritarian dictatorship designed to benefit billionaires and weaken us as a nation.

The image above might be jarring to some and I should note that I believe Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are excellent candidates on their own. Separately, it is imperative that any American who cares about democracy, the people in America, or their own lives absolutely must ensure that Trump/Vance are never given power again.

Trump is the gatling gun liar telling 477 lies in the debate.

The Gatling Gun Liar Told 477+ Lies in the Debate

Trump’s Gatling gun of lies was on full display at the recent debate, where I counted at least 477 lies in just 41 minutes. Mainstream media gave him a pass, claiming there were only 33+, but that’s likely because they ignore the constant stream of smaller lies he spews between big policy falsehoods. Want an example? Trump claims nobody thinks about Russia having nukes. Really? Do you know anyone who hasn’t? It’s one of hundreds of casual lies he tells that go unchecked. Then, there’s the moment he contradicts himself mid-sentence: “people don’t go to her rallies” followed by “the people that do go.” His lies are endless, designed to overwhelm listeners and make it impossible to keep up. I’m just one person counting them, but I want to show you how well-informed people hear Trump—lies, nonstop. Check out my documentation and the full breakdown in my photo album.

The 4 Years Democrats Held Full Power: A Period of Unmatched Progress in the Last 16 Years

  • by

The Republican claim that Democrats held power for “12 out of the last 16 years” is highly misleading. In reality, Democrats had control of the Senate, House, and White House for only 4 of those years—2009-2010 under Obama, and 2021-2022 under Biden. During these periods, Democrats passed significant legislation like the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the Dodd-Frank Act, which helped stabilize the economy after the 2008 financial crisis. In Biden’s term, key achievements included the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

For the remaining 12 years, Republicans either held the House, Senate, or both, and they used their majorities to obstruct Democratic efforts to pass meaningful legislation. The myth that Democrats have held continuous power ignores this obstruction and undermines the legislative progress made during the brief periods when Democrats held a unified government.
