Trump's heartland voters shrug off global uproar over immigration ban

[irksomesauce]

Many of President Donald Trump’s core political supporters had a simple message on Sunday for the fiercest opponents of his immigration ban: Calm down.

The relaxed reaction among the kind of voters who drove Trump’s historic upset victory - working- and middle-class residents of Midwest and the South - provided a striking contrast to the uproar that has gripped major coastal cities, where thousands of protesters flocked to airports where immigrants had been detained.

...In the electoral strongholds for Trump, residents seemed nonplussed about the uproar flashing across their television screens. They shrugged off concerns about botched execution, damage to foreign relations and legal challenges across the country.

...University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato agreed that the weekend protests over the executive orders would not hurt Trump politically.

“His base is as firm as ever,” he said. “What he’s lost in the very early polls is the Republicans who were never Trumpers and ended up voting for Trump.”

Apparently our government is debating putting a ban on visitors to our country by citizens of the USA.

What with 200 odd school shootings in the US in the last 3 years the risk of some of these nutters coming to our country and committing their lunatic acts of violence is too high. Apparently all USA citizens wanting to visit here will have to undergo extreme vetting before being granted a visa and this could take in excess of 2 years.

Countries that do not have a school shooting problem will not be affected.

Are you going to come back and make any sense out of that steaming pile of incoherence, or should I just move along without reading the rest of your...whatever?

I understood the post clearly. I'm not surprised you didn't.

I'm sorry, my fault: now seeing you're a sheep diddler, I understand your "our country" isn't actually my country.

I have to ask, though: is there any credible reason why any patriotic American would feel any loss being denied visitation to a land that has 57 million more orphaned sheep than people?

Yeah, well, sheep aren't a big interest of mine.

Calm down - that sounds about right.

Can't you see that you basically see all his actions negatively? If it was your president, you'd be saying that it's long since due to stop those potential terrorists from coming.

Your predisposition to trump warps your judgment. Is what I think. That's why calm down - is a great advice.

There are nothing close to 200 school shootings in 3 years, unless you include all shootings in dense, urban environments with high incidence of gang and drug-related shootings that happen to occur within a randomly chosen proximate distance to a school, not necesarilly during school hours, near students or staff.

It speaks volumes about both the disingenousness of those that push the anti-gun agenda and the gullible idiots that swallow such statistics whole that they cannot advance their agenda using actual, valid statistics.

Why not refer to these shootings as liquor store shootings if the proximity to a liquor store is the same radius that they're using for school shootings?

Using Bloomfield's bogus statistics, redefining what is a "school shooting," you would be forced to conclude that most "school shooters" are black. Which is not true.

I'm sure some dipshit will come in and ascribe some ignorant position to you now.
