They're having a reaction against the brutality that we're seeing on screen.
I don't have to repeat what those... But you're offended by them, right?
I'm deeply offended.
It's inhumane and blunt, as you said.
And I'm horrified by a few other reasons.
I think many people who watch these images obviously are horrified for the same reasons that I am and maybe you are.
But I also see it as a historical horror.
Like I said, this has happened before.
So Americans who are saying this is not who we are, I'm sorry.
This is exactly who we are.
We've done this through the generations to many, many generations.
different populations, thrown them into concentration camps, deported them without due process, tortured them, killed them.
We have done this many times throughout American history.
The other thing that offends me, however, is people like Cubans and Vietnamese people who came here as refugees
saying this is good.
Okay.
I mean, during the previous Trump administration, when children were being separated from their parents and put into cages, there were Vietnamese Americans saying Trump is doing the right thing.
Those are the bad refugees.
We were the good refugees.
I grew up in a Vietnamese refugee community of the 1970s and 1980s.
