      Yeah I’m not clicking on that. Assuming it’s about the ICE facility allegations from 2020 though. And yeah, Trump is a monster. Make no mistake, the US could go fully fascist if we let it, there are certainly xenophobic elements within the country. It’s not a majority opinion though.

        “majority opinion” doesn’t matter, government actions do. Regardless of the majority opinion, what has occurred and other things that continue to occur are irreparably destroying lives and killing people.

          If all government actions from any point in time are what matter, and not the democratic opinions of the populace or the actions of the current government, then I’d say the worst was Mongolia under Genghis Khan.

          This is emphatically wrong on every level. You’re calling an entire country and it’s inhabitants xenophobic, yet you’re referring to the actions of a far-right figure we not only voted out of office, but never voted to put in in the first place (he lost the popular vote.)

          You’re ironically very xenophobic - even if you are American. Because most Americans are welcoming as part of our culture. To be against that is not only wrong, it’s also very unfounded.

            Did you really vote him out of office? I’ve got white-guy blindness; and the settler who currently occupies that seat has been seemingly carrying on a solid half of Trump’s platform. Continued building the wall, continued funding ICE, continued funding 10-33, didn’t mandate RICO charges against the Jan 6th protestors, but was more than happy to let RICOs fly on the Cop City protestors, didn’t shut down the concentration caps on the southern border, I genuinely can’t tell them apart.

        Amerika already is full-fascist; if you can’t tell, you haven’t been paying attention. Must be comfortable where you’re at.
