Why Trump Should Be Thanking Roseanne Bigly

Roseanne’s tweet about Trump “saving kids” has to do with a fake claim from Trump Internet that arrests for human trafficking are up since Trump took office. There are a few things wrong with that. (a short [?] thread).

Claim’s been rotating since at least last summer (when I first saw it) and we don’t actually have official numbers for Trump’s administration yet. Most recent numbers are 2016.

Second, the specific number Trump folks like to cite is about 6k, compared to ~2k under Obama (these are all numbers from memes about this). The 2k number from Obama is Homeland Security Investigation arrests. The number for Trump is … well. ?????

But all that matters is that Trump Has a Bigger Number Than the Black Guy, and they aren’t going to check their sources anyway. Most of the way folks appear to have arrived at that number is by looking at the number of trafficking arrests *worldwide*.

They also have culled the number by combining a bunch of different reports of ICE arrests (which are not human trafficking arrests) and arrests re: child sex abuse cases (again, NOT human trafficking).

They also have pulled in, as near as I can tell, numbers of arrests for sexual solicitation, which also artificially inflates Trump’s number, while comparing it to Obama’s *actual* HSI trafficking numbers.

Roseanne does represent an important political constituency: People who support president Trump because they believe a bunch of bizarre conspiracy nonsense.

People are like "it's unrealistic to have someone who's like, 'I like Trump, and I also like gay rights and whatnot.'" But really it isn't, especially if the person believes in gay rights AND chemtrails.

I can't decide whether I hope they explore this on the show or not.

But if we're going to talk about "who's underrepresented on television," "people whose politics is primarily driven by a bunch of bonkers theories" is one of the most underrepresented groups, because that is a LOT of the public.

Everyone in my feed seems upset about Roseanne because we are upset she likes Trump, but imagine this times a million for every Trump supporter dealing with every actor or musician they like thinking they are fucking morons. No wonder they are so grumpy on Twitter.
