I actually do. The difference is, unlike you, I understand that it's not the fault of Latin American migrant workers. And the fact that you're literally backing an openly racist (probably ex-) billionaire who outsourced a lot of American jobs shows how completely deranged you are. You reward those who have hosed you without lube and then whine about those who haven't done you an ounce of harm.

The donor class are indeed the ones loving me, but some of the time they're using a strapon made of illegal immigrants to do it.

ShouId I vote for Hillary Clinton, the racist oligarch who wants to deepen neoliberalism, loving over working and middle class Americans of all races - Or should I vote for Donald Trump, the racist oligarch who, from the establishment desperately trying to stop him and his refusal to take donations, seems to have broken from the interests of his class and says he wants to do what's best for the people of the country as a whole.

everyone wants to live in the west for material reasons, even if their culture is totally incompatible with liberal western values

the defeat of neoliberalism will be the first step to helping make every country in the world less lovely - that's how we help people, improving their own countries (which I'm sure they'd rather stay in if they could have a decent life) not by throwing open the borders and inviting them to be a slave caste

Bernie bros want the H1B visa program rolled back because they are racist against Indians.

H1B visa recipients are highly skilled people who are here legally doing valuable work in the tech industry, and their presence is a net benefit to the economy. The benefit of reducing the number of H1Bs in the job market is dubious but Bernie Sanders has promised his followers he is going to do just that, as an appeal to their deep seated loathing for the smell of curry.

it seems strange that we are expected to immediately assume that illegal immigration is a bad thing without considering the consequences. because to me it seems like it gives poor hispanics a better and safer life, and the only apparent cost is to break the back of the working class white male, who is, let's be clear, the kind of embittered simpering limpdick we see itt

lol goons really believe all trump supporters are ironic or racist hillbillys, i know someone with an MBA who isnt racist who supports him just because theyre not very informed (like most of the electorate) and thinks someone with business experience who isnt a politician would be a better president than the rest of the gop candidate pool, im wouldnt be surprised if this makes up a huge chunk of trumps support, but you won't see them on the news because its not as good for ratings as some dude in pveralls saying racist poo poo against mexicans while wearing a MAGA hat

I am an actual, literal genius, and I know that of the candidates available Donald Trump is without a doubt the best choice available for President of the United States of America. Anyone who disagrees does so based on backwards and deeply ingrained dogma, not on facts or logic. There is no reason to not support his pursuit of the Presidency other than the misguided belief that your vote for some other candidate will result in a better America based on empty campaign promises and a naive worldview.
