Really you people are getting so damn tight about downtrodden hopeless people who want to escape the dire conditions of poverty .
"This is mine , leave it alone , go away " it's like five year olds having tantrums . In every abusers personally conceived beliefs there are always his own entitlement issues .
Are you being trained to be fascist babies ?

Only if that's where your mind stops.
It can also be about the various ways and means of debate/discussion/dialogue among people, without singling out specific people. It can focus on productive and practical communication, as opposed to trash talking and cheap points.
Are we up to the challenge???

But the example you gave is exactly one which polarizes debate and is 'person' centric around Trump.

I pretty much agree with everything you said except this:
But the example you gave is exactly one which polarizes debate and is 'person' centric around Trump.
I definitely agree that the video and the OP presents the entire issue/argument/debate around "Trump," but I never even mentioned Trump! They exemplify and personify the problem.
If I were to address the issue presented in the video, I would focus on Trump's policies -- not Trump -- and the best interests of the citizens (and therefore the nation), and the powers/restrictions of the office of president, the letter and spirit of our organic law and Constitution, etc. -- all the things that are pertinent regardless of "Trump," because as we know, "Trump" was "Obama" before "Trump" and "Bush" before "Obama" and so on... the persons change but the principles and problems are the same regardless.
