You do realize the Fonda tweet is a separate issue? None of the parties involved were even near Mexico.
Is it, though?

Twisting things that others didn’t say doesn’t remove the issue.
Well, I think it's obvious that Trump family is using this tweet to show themselves as real victims in all of this and Trumpists are using it as well.
Some bozo tweets something so Melania calls secret service, Trump Jr. calls for boycott of his movies etc. while at the same time Trumps and Trumpists call those kids cages to be nothing more then a summer camp, so basically Fonda wished him to go to summer camp.
And also at the same time when Trump tweets abuse crap his minions defend it that "tweets should not be taken seriously, because social network is just goofing around and everyone knows that"
remember this?

but now someone tweeted something and Trumps are being persecuted!

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

At best you can call Fonda's comments in poor taste, but you CANNOT treat his "How would you like it if someone kidnapped your kid" intent as being the same as THE ACTUAL REAL ACTIONS of Trump.
THE TWO ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THE SAME......
Trump has money, and power and security, poor people escaping crime and poverty and war DO NOT have the same benefit. Trump has been bullying people who do not have the power or money to defend themselves.
Stop staring at my finger when I am pointing to the orange moon.
Trump is a vile disgusting human. He is taking our country politically down a very dark road, one that if other politicians see his formula as a winning tactic, will lead to even worse.
Then YOU are not better than Trump. You are just jealous. And I mean YOU, not the other people that make valid criticism of Trump. YOU just fuel his rethoric and validate it.
It is evident in this thread, that people just blindly sheep partisan politics. You became so blinded by Trump's rethoric, that you can do nothing but became what he is.
But then I am not US nor even a citizen of that place on earth. Word to the wise, when you spend your time fighting monsters, you became a monster yourself.
My theory is that almost everybody is a bad person. Some people just use 'moral highground' as cover for being shitty people. But at their core, everyone is pretty much the same. Just awful people looking for someone to tear down.
The event that really stuck with me, was Anne Hathaway from a couple years ago. Everyone just started talking about hating her because they didn't like her Oscar acceptance speech, or something nonsensical. Just maliciousness for fun. And it wasn't partisan. The 'good guys' were all the way in on it, many happily leading the charge. That's what humans are. Just a bunch of hateful animals looking for something to attack.

Or..maybe, while people are generally the same in sum, some people do have moral highground over some others in some specific area...for all the good it does them.
Perhaps you really are a horrible shit in the area of x and the other guy just isn;t, lol. I find that people who imagine moral highground to be cover are most often those who have no such "cover". It makes them feel better to think that the other guy is faking it, that he;s just as bad as they are in whatever it is..but its not true.

Haven't read the thread but I have seen the tweet in question.
I realize that Fonda is speaking rhetorically however, I believe we can and should be above this.
Opinion worth what you paid for it.
