"An old friend I still love and try to respect wrote me The Email. You may have gotten one, or been cornered by a family member or by a professor. The subject line was "Can't Wait Any Longer" and the contents blasted me for supporting some of the president's policies. It is all happening just like with the Nazis when people like me just stood by and let it happen."
"Chief among them is Trump is deporting fewer people than Obama. He's just "louder and meaner," as the Washington Post said this summer. "You have seen the blizzard of scary images," said the Post, "immigration agents taking parents away in front of their kids, masked officers raiding neighborhoods, men detained in remote centers, but here is the surprising fact behind the mayhem: Donald Trump has deported fewer people per month than Barack Obama did, and barely more than Joe Biden during a similar span last year.""
An old friend sent an accusatory email equating support for the president with enabling Nazism and criticizing praise of the president as "amazingness." The email questioned commitment to the First Amendment over not treating a late-night host's suspension as a national crisis and over support for enforcing immigration law. Factual claims emphasize that Trump deported fewer people per month than Barack Obama and roughly the same as Joe Biden in a comparable span. Media focus on dramatic images amplified perceptions of harsher enforcement. Family-separation and child detention practices began under Bill Clinton and continued under subsequent administrations.
