Double-Thinking About National Sovereignty: Trumpite Edition

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following status update here, posted by Voluntaryist, Larken Rose, and originally shared it to my own wall, along with commentary…

Larken Rose: The world according to Trumpites:

a) Several thousand unarmed men, women and children, escaping a crappy situation in their country of origin, walking towards the U.S. = A HORRIBLE INVASION! WE NEED TRUMP TO CALL OUT AN ARMY TO VIOLENTLY REPEL THEM!!

b) Several thousand heavily armed U.S. troops go to a foreign country on the other side of the world and start killing people, including civilians, and blowing shit up. = Perfectly fine, spreading freedom. Murica!

My Commentary: *sigh*
