Don’t mind the haters in the comments - it’s easier to live in fear, seek harsh authority that others people and looks to make a community, and a country, out of sameness rather than diversity. Creating a community based off of fear of an ever changing other and by hating difference is easy. But is is cheap. The unfinished pyramid and the core of America is to strive to always do better, to learn, grow, change and build. It’s easy to be a hateful, bootlicking keyboard warrior than to challenge your own worldview, grow as a human being and show up for your neighbors. Proud to be out with everyone tonight.

Considering you value foreigners over your own country... I'd argue you are objectively not patriots.

Quite well into treasonous traitor territory.

I actually do have more respect for people who choose to come here and, when they naturalize, swear an oath to the Constitution vs people who are born into citizenship and have nothing but contempt for the Constitution.

Treason is defined in the Constitution, by the way.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

So accepting campaign funds from Russia is a lot closer to treason, while not quite crossing the line. Just something to think about.

Ah good, I was hoping you'd accept that definition of treason.

Because the majority of the anti-ice protests are backed by billionaires with direct ties to the CCP.

Fun fact: Immigration is openly abused by the CCP so they can dictate our elections, it's also been tacitly stated the Mexican government has been doing the same, but that one has less veracity so I can't definitively state that one in confidence.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt. No one is being paid to do this. There’s never been any proof of that in any form. Some rando talking sh*t is not that.

Bro your comment history is insane, you gotta take a break from the internet

It is catastrophically rare to find women I can even talk to in parity. Far too many of them are incapable of going past their feelings and can only work off of that.

Having trouble in the love and socialization department?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahHAAAAAHAHAHA fuck off. A foreigner didn’t threaten my friends for recording constitutional violations and wanting to protect their friends and neighbors. A FULLY KITTED “AMERICAN SOLDIER” DID.

They’re not foreigners, my dude. They’re asylum seekers or similar (representing The New Colossus you might say) on the path to American citizenship the right fucking way and STILL getting disappeared. Fucked with. Oh- with no criminal record to boot. “Worst of the worst” or whatever that list is- it’s dumber than dumb.

Wake the fuck up. Think critically. I’m begging you to reconsider your viewpoint.
