Responses to NY Times article on Trump's immigration policy..

really depress and worry me. The article basically vindicates Trump's policy and readers' replies echo their approval.. What the hell is going on?

Wow - seems like an organized effort to troll the comments with pro trump stuff NRaleighLiberal Feb 2019 #1

Did we read the same article? The one I read at the link is simply... TreasonousBastard Feb 2019 #2

I think OP is referencing the comments rather than the article itself. Shrike47 Feb 2019 #3

May be, but I didn't see that much pro-Trump in the comments I read. TreasonousBastard Feb 2019 #4

yes I was referring to the reader comments on the article choie Feb 2019 #5

So you're telling me deplorables are reading and commenting on the NY Times? Surprising if so. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #6

this is not typical for responses to the NYT Op Eds at all - trump and republicans typically get their asses handed to them.

Russian troll farm, perhaps? You are right - the most popular responses are shocking and disturbing.

I just finished a response to the Douthat column but the Times hasn't approved it yet. Now that is one shitty article.
