(10,749 posts)Yes, the picture is horrific. It will probably win a Pulitzer.
But, no, it won't destroy Trump.
The NYT could post video of Border Patrol officers shooting immigrants and refugees for sport. It would do nothing.
Video could surface of abuse in the concentration camps - apart from the abuse done by their very existence. Children shackled. Children actually being beaten. It wouldn't destroy Trump or change a Republican's mind.
Take that photo. Another photo might surface of a white supremacist drowning a father and his daughter "yearning to be free." The RW would exult in it. Steve Bannon would say that he wears his support for those white supremacists like a badge of honor.
Not one single Republican legislator - state or federal - will utter a peep.
They are what will be called in a book in the 2030s entitled "The Good American."
