    The child separation policy he was behind at the southern border is within the Geneva Convention’s definition of genocide: “Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.” The children were taken from their parents with no intention of returning them, many were adopted by American families when their own parents “couldn’t be found” because there was no system put in place to do so.

      Uggghhhhhh… I was so angry at everyone that whole time this was going on. The “just asking questions” guys at my job couldn’t understand why I was so enraged that America(!) Was taking children from parents who were peacefully trying to make a better life for themselves.

      “But it’s illegal to cross the border!”… Bro shut the fuck up before I feed you a monkey wrench.

      Within the definition, but Jackson was actively murdering indigenous Americans and wiping their nations from the face of the Earth. I would still call that worse, as horrific as Trump’s administration was.
