    Why aren’t more people complaining “ICE is getting paid but our troops aren’t” or “ICE is getting paid to kidnap Americans, but your flights are delayed because air traffic controllers aren’t”?

        Well Trump said he was going to pay them… And I believe today is payday, so I guess we’ll find out soon

          Well Trump said

          I don’t know if you’ve noticed yet, but Trump just lies about everything.

              He has a loyal following despite the harm he does to those very people. They live in a completely different world fed by Fox and other right wing grifters. They place the blame for everything bad on Democrats and use bad actors (in the literal “terrible acting” sense) to portray characters like “former Antifa member” and other bullshit.

              Its a cult. They have their dear leader who tells them what to think and empowers them be loud and proud about their hateful ideology with memorable catchphrases and slogans and whatnot.

      ICE isn’t being paid. The commenter was incorrect. Any anger would be misplaced
