7. There are very few Latinos

who won't be affected. Their kids go to school with some children whose parents are undocumented. After all, it's not like undocumented immigrants brag about it. It goes beyond that. Trump and his supporters have disdain for minorities. I know, I heard it every day. How many times do you hear a relative or co-worker lament that "pretty soon, white people will be the minority.?"

It's like a MAGA black man. Do you really think that helps him when a white cop pulls him over.

Listen. I always cared. I demonstrated for equal rights in the 60's and against a war killing Asians. I fought for freedom for gays and union rights all of my life.

Too many of the groups I fought for are working against their own interests. I'm tired of trying to make them "see the light". I'm 72 years old with no children, a wonderful wife and a good pension living outside the US.

If your answer is that the Latinos who won't be deported supported Trump because it doesn't affect them personally, tell me why I should give a fuck?
