Leftist: “ICE is evil. An ICE officer murdered an innocent civilian woman in Minneapolis.”

“Wasn’t the woman you call innocent trying to run over the ICE officer?”

“No matter. ICE has no right to be there.”

“Why? The city and state are deliberately and openly letting illegals into the country. The mayor and Governor are breaking immigration laws.”

“There shouldn’t be immigration laws. We should have no borders.”

“But what about enemies of America? Terrorists? Violent felons being dumped here by other countries?”

“Only a racist would suggest such a thing.”

“What about January 6? If it was wrong for people to enter or even go near the Capitol in protest, isn’t it at least as wrong to try and run over law enforcement? Why does law and order matter in one case and not another?”

“The victim was a lesbian! What kind of homophobe white supremacist are you?”

“What does the gender of one’s sexual partner have to do with the issue? Who said anything about race?”

“Governor Walz is moral. President Trump is evil.”

“How is refusing to enforce federal laws moral, especially when that refusal endangers people? And why was Biden permitted to censor, fire or threaten people who disobeyed his vax mandates while President Trump may not enforce existing laws? Why were opponents of Biden enemies of democracy, while opponents of Trump are virtuous, courageous and right, even when initiating violence?”

“Racist scum!”

You cannot argue with irrationality of this kind. You cannot have discussions with people who think with their emotions–which is to say, PEOPLE WHO DO NOT THINK AT ALL. It’s beneath yourself, and beneath reason. Better to support the right people, the President Trumps and others, and arm yourself for whatever might come next, because law enforcement itself is now in trouble. And get the hell out of places like Minneapolis, or any of the blue cities. When possible and desirable, leave blue states. Let them fall — as they will, and must.
