Hey, what next listeners? It's Mary Harris.

Before we get to today's episode, I have a favor to ask.

This relationship feels slightly one-sided.

Just me talking to you, all the time.

We want to change that. We have a listener survey we want

you to fill out. It's going to really help us do the show better and we'll hear from

you, what you want, what you need, what you love, what you hate, all of that stuff.

You can find the survey in our show notes for all the latest episodes or you can visit

slate.com slash what next survey.

Okay, on to the show.

I probably don't have to remind you

I probably don't have to remind you about the language Donald Trump is using to refer to immigrants in the closing weeks of his campaign.

But it's bracing, to quote the man who would be president,

and sit with his words for a bit.

So I'll do it anyway.

Trump is called immigrants animals, stone cold killers. He's called them the worst people, an enemy within.

Or as Rijé Karma puts it at the Atlantic. I would broadly characterize

Donald Trump's description of immigrants as a

psychopathic horde of murderers. He talks about them coming from insane

asylums, from mental institutions, from jails and prisons, and he has continuously put forward as his big policy.

What he said is going to be the largest deportation campaign in American history.

This is not exactly a surprise.
