    They are all citizens. They have all the same rights. Trump won’t draw any distinction between them. Trump has already been attacking the rights of everyone, including citizens.

    The graphic implies a sequence or hierarchy (à la “First they came”) with Trump either planning to destroy each pillar himself or have them toppled like dominoes. However, this does not accurately reflect the nature of the attacks that have already occurred. Trump did not step through a hierarchy, he attacked everyone that he perceived as a threat to his power–much more similarly to a bomb placed in the middle of the pillars toppling all at once.

      Ok

      1. It’s a fucking cartoon
      2. A citizen is not a citizen (see LeBron a 2 pointer is not a 2 pointer)

      He has very specifically been going after birthright citizenship and has deported children born here because their parents weren’t citizens. That gains it its own category in the cartoon.
