Every time i see that video of the rally chant of "Send her back" I just wonder

what is really going through the head of the Asian woman holding the sign behind him? Or for that matter, the other people of color in attendance,,,few tho they were?

What on earth is wrong with these people of color who might be the next target of "go back to where you came from" screed when they next visit the grocery store?

Not one single bigot in sight. It is a Democratic District. It was my good fortune to move into the area.

If not, maybe they think they are somehow superior- a special case and it doesn't apply to them?

She Voted For Trump. Now, Her Husband Is Being Deported
She thought “good people” would get to stay

An Indiana woman who voted for President Donald Trump was stunned to discover that her husband, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, is set to be deported as soon as today.

Despite her spouse’s immigration status, Helen Beristain said she agreed with Trump’s hardline policies.

But Helen didn’t think those policies would apply to her husband, who owns a popular restaurant in Granger, Indiana.

“[Trump] did say the good people would not be deported, the good people would be checked,” Helen said.

Being in an abusive relationship and feeling like their is no choice but to go along with the dominant spouse. There could be self loathing. They could self identify as white.

I don't presume to know all the reasons, but there are rational explanations for irrational behavior.
