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.

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

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.

Debunking Right-Wing Propaganda: The Misinformation Game and Its Impact on Voters

  • by

Right-wing media often fuels outrage with false or exaggerated claims, like unfounded fears about “leftist ideologies” or misleading narratives about Democrats. These tactics distract from real issues, such as tax policies favoring the wealthy, and manipulate voters to act against their own interests. For example, Kamala Harris supports middle-class tax cuts funded by higher taxes on the rich, while Trump’s policies benefit the wealthy and harm ordinary Americans. Understanding these deceptive strategies is crucial for focusing on genuine issues that affect everyday lives and preserving democratic values against manipulative agendas like Project 2025.

Humanism Demands a Vote for Kamala Harris

  • by

Humanism, with its foundation in empathy, justice, and the well-being of all people, compels me to vote for Kamala Harris. Her values align with these principles, making her the right choice for anyone who believes in the importance of ethical governance and the protection of human rights. Kamala Harris has consistently shown courage and compassion, whether by speaking out against humanitarian atrocities or by advocating for climate action that prioritizes the most vulnerable. In stark contrast, Donald Trump has demonstrated a disregard for both the rule of law and the welfare of others, driven by self-interest and corporate greed. His policies threaten not only the lives of marginalized communities but also the very survival of our planet. If humanism matters to you, voting for Kamala Harris is the only choice that upholds the principles of empathy and justice.

Republicans in the White House Could Destroy Your Favorite Online Community–or Turn It into a Hub of Hatred

The Trump team plans threaten free speech, especially in online communities that challenge conservative views, including those related to non-belief in god and science. Project 2025 aims to eliminate legal protections for online platforms, which could lead to widespread censorship or the shutdown of spaces that allow open discussion. The danger is clear: a Trump administration could severely limit the ability to freely express non-religious and critical perspectives online, leading to a more hostile and censored internet landscape.
