It appears that the credulous Fox "news" watchers really did believe that there were violent immigrant gang members in massive numbers all over the country, as they've been told for decades now. Anyone who understood that's not the case wasn't surprised that "mass deportation" meant rounding up gardeners and construction workers (duh!). But Rogan and his listeners bought into the idea that only the thousands of cartel mobsters that were taking over the country under weak Democrat rule would suffer.

Those were imaginary baddies all along! Tell your listeners that, Joe!

Joe Rogan does not get the benefit of the doubt. He’s just a goddamn liar.

Propaganda pays well.

Not to mention the fact that if cartel drug leaders were so easy to round up deport, we would’ve done it already. Or, at least, put them in jail.

But it’s a lot easier to target innocent, defenseless people.

They believed there were millions of these criminals, because Trump promised to deport millions of them.
