Something is evil only if one thinks it is. Neither the fascist Felon Fuhrer nor his MAGA cult view it as evil. So, official tRumpublican and MAGA actions are not evil. To them it is making America great again so it is patriotism, not evil.
The mind of tRump the Felon and the minds of his cultists are as such. Warped by and reified.
Legal schmegal is what the MAGA crowd will say. If people come to the border and make an asylum claim, they get in "legally". And that's true. Then they wait for months and years, putting down roots while waiting for a final disposition of their case.
Then, after all that time, some get to stay and others are ordered home. Do they go? Some do, some don't.
Because the system is broken. 100% at all levels.
And no one really wants to admit where their side falls short and disappoint the backers and supporters with a real fix. So on and on we go.
America needs new immigrants. Yes, we do. We need younger people to keep our economy going, to pay taxes, to fund Social Security to continue to make our country great for our grandkids and future generations.
All the data supports the above statement.
But we can't get there. Because people won't be honest, won't leave their boxes and silos and won't buck their own partisan interests for the good of America.
Cato is known as quite far to the right. But their findings are fact -based. We presume the organization will be attacked by the far far right and perhaps purged like the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center. Trump could pardon Diddy and his minions would applaud. Crazy place, this country.
Isn't it time to move from "beyond good and evil" to at least "beyond good and bad"?

-FJ asked... "Isn't it time to move from "beyond good and evil" to at least "beyond good and bad"?
I don't know -FJ... you tell us? Since the day some us here opposed the Iraq War on principle, we were called un American, commies and America haters on blog sites where you frequent and contribute. I don't recall you ever standing up for us, even though now many of those people admit we were right.
I don't know -FJ... where did the term "libtard" come from? We've called people on the right and yes, the MAGA crowd wrong, but at least in my case, I've never said they hate America and want her destroyed as many right "leaning" bloggers, do to us on a frequent basis.
I don't know -FJ... have you proposed a change in tone to the person who wrote this at a blog where you comment on an almost daily basis?
""I’m not surprised that Jasmine Crocket made it into and out of an American law school — or Barack Obama, for that matter. They are mental midgets whose only success is that they fooled mindless morons to offer them affirmative action. God help us! These monsters have perverted America for their own purposes, and we helped them do it. Necktie parties: neither cruel nor unusual."
Unless I'm misreading something, that's not a comment moving beyond "good and evil" to at least "beyond good and bad" is it? Or do you understand "monsters" to be "beyond good and bad"?
How about this... why don't you go tell Mustang, Bocopro, Z and the rest of the Mothership crowd that they should move "beyond good and evil" and see what kind of reaction you get.
BTW... Shaw posted right after BB's comment that CATO leans right as opposed to "far to the right". BB also noted that in spite of his belief that CATO is far right, they are fact based. That's a far cry from all Dem sources and media are liars, a frequent charge from your cronies.
You first... :) Have you denounced the Trump Hitler tropes here?
I pick my battles at Geeeez, much as you likely pick your battles here. I can't win a "tone" battle there, or a "reason" battle here. But i do occasionally get my point across.
Cato- "Cato advocates for a limited governmental role in domestic and foreign affairs and strong protection of civil liberties, including support for lowering or abolishing most taxes, opposition to the Federal Reserve system and the Affordable Care Act, the privatization of numerous government agencies and programs including Social Security and the United States Postal Service, demilitarization of the police, " I guess some find that moderate?
Joe, -FJ... You're talking about Trump Hitler tropes. I'm talking about personal attacks on us and other liberals. I've never supported calling conservatives un American America haters. Never. I've even defended folks who make what I believe to be stupid arguments, saying they too love America.
I also get called an "authoritarian fascist". I'm a classical liberal preaching "meden agan" (none too much) trying to get people to step back from their polemical political direction. THAT's "authoritarian fascism"? No, THAT's classical liberalism!

CATO is Libertarian, not "far right"

I never see that at Geeez... never.
Trump isn't Hitler (yet) but he is an authoritarian fascist.
Please... I get accused of racism EVERY day at least 10x. Personal attacks? Grow a thicker skin.
