It’s been almost a week since Election Day. And in the run up to the midterms, Donald Trump waged an unrelenting xenophobic campaign to convince Republicans America was on the verge of a ‘deadly invasion of thugs, MS-13 gang members and Middle Eastern terrorists’ masquerading as a caravan of desperate freedom and asylum-seeking Hispanic immigrants — many of them women and children — walking thousands of miles through difficult conditions to escape persecution and the threat of death.
But miraculously, the nanosecond the election was over, the incendiary rhetoric, which had been feverishly spewing from Trump’s mouth like projectile vomit, immediately stopped. As if the caravan doesn’t exist and never did. Astounding that this grave national-security emergency, a crisis so out-of-control that it required Trump to hurriedly dispatch the United States military to protect the Southern border, has now suddenly and swiftly vanished.
Which if course means there is no imminent danger. And that there never was. No threat. No invasion. Just a rancid cesspool of cowardly fear-mongering. These immigrants are not thugs, gang members or terrorists. Their only crime is that they continue to see America as their great beacon of hope and promise…where they could keep their kids alive, work hard and pursue the American dream.
