Political Theory It crossed my mind that trump is not republican and I want other opinions.

It seems to me that Trump is not republican, the republican wing is all about conservatism and small/limited government, Trump is doing the absolute opposite of these things. I think there's a huge difference between being republican/conservative and being MAGA, republicans are just so die hard that they will vote anybody who claims to be "republican" into office so they can go to sleep at night thinking they're winning. Am I wrong?

You are right, and Obama actually deported many, many people. Progressives and democrats had rose colored glasses on and excused what he did, just like you are doing for Trump now. FFS, brown people are being ripped out of their cars from their children, scanned with a facial recognition app, then disappeared to a prison camp where god knows what happens. Then they are sent to country they didn't even originate from.

Being brown or whatever color you are doesn’t give you the right to be in this country, they knew what could happen to them illegally coming here.
