There is no such thing as purity in politics or political movements. This is planet earth, not heaven. Of course, innocent people have gotten screwed over by Trump's immigration policy. Innocent people die and get fucked over every minute of every day of the week. Last I looked, we were not living in paradise, but planet earth. However, Trump's immigration policy has done much more good than bad. You name me a perfect immigration policy and I'll be the first to congratulate you. It is easy to sit back on your rocking chair or keyboard and criticize. My preference would have been to leave migrant workers alone who work in the fields, hotels and restaurants.
I am very aware of distinctions or negativity everywhere.
You are very correct that in some respects I like Trump, in other respects I dislike him. In some respects, I love what Trump has done; in other respects, I despise what he has done and is doing.
I think I am quite entitled to my mixed feelings in regard to Trump. In some respects, Trump serves my purpose; in other respects, he goes against my principals and values. In life you have to take the good with the bad and weigh the plusses and minuses, the pros and cons. Ultimately, I give Trump a thumbs up as he checks more boxes than not.
That's the way of the world. Sometimes the ends justify the means and other times it doesn't. It is always a judgement call.
I don't pretend to be pure, never did. That's for the Virgin Mary types and Saintly Golfer types. |
