She really is your aunt's weird, burnt out hippie friend, isn't she?

The whole eating cats and dogs thing has been especially insane to me considering the fact that my dad was born in Springfield, Ohio. It's so crazy just hearing the town's name in the news. My dad can't believe it lol

The whole eating cats and dogs thing has been especially insane to me considering the fact that my dad was born in Springfield, Ohio. It's so crazy just hearing the town's name in the news. My dad can't believe it lol The fact that so many people are buying into something so absolutely insane when there's zero evidence of it happening makes me feel there's no hope for the future.

Literally Every Minority Group EVER has been the victim of baseless stereotypes and race based hate campaigns. This isn't new in the slightest.

In the spirit of death panels, pizza gate and litter boxes in schools, some people are beyond help. But those were never persuadable voters to begin with. The Democrats probably do need to move to the right on immigration in order to address where the median voter's concerns actually lie though. Trump won in 2016 because of immigration and if he wins again it will likely be for the same reason. It took a global pandemic to knock him off in 2020, where one of the fallouts from said pandemic was a reduction in border crossings to the point where it was less of an issue on voters' minds. And to Harris's credit, she did a good job of pointing out that it was largely the Republican party's subservience to Donald Trump's campaign tactics that killed the Lankford bill (Lankford of course did his own duty to vote against his own bill). But that only works up to a point since the Democratic party as a whole may lack credibility on the issue. Still, this strategy has a precedent. Denmark in 2015 saw a huge rise in the far-right largely because of immigration concerns. But once the center and center-left parties started adopting more restrictive immigration policies, the far right eventually dwindled to only a handful of seats today. People may not necessarily like far-right parties but if they're the only ones acknowledging an issue that frustrates voters then they will overperform as a result.

The issue is Americans are too blind to the propagandizing of immigration to see the bigger issue. Which is partially due to lingering Xenophobia and Racism transmitted by their parents either knowingly or not. Libs can do as much as they want; but unless it is a ban on Non-white Immigrants and mass deportations of all non-whites, this will just be a perpetual issue that will inevitably lead to a Far-Right W. The failure of Liberalism is its inability to see beyond a very small issue. In the case of Immigration they will not address the actual issues that are the root cause of immigration and would much rather veer right on the issue with the idea that THAT is the "Solution". Which conservatives will just do the same. Conservatives have similar problems with Immigration where they will literally CAUSE the mass migration through its imperialism and destabilization of Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East; then will be confused why everyone's heading to the ONE PLACE AMERICA CAN'T BOMB. Liberals could make a very easy rebut to explain this fact to Americans, but for a multitude of reasons they are not going to. Like rn Haiti is in the news, literally all their modern issues can be blamed on the US, but nobody's going to acknowledge or fix that fact because thats not politically expedient. Now I don't expect Liberals to do this, I have ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH IN THEM ON THIS FACT, so I'm not mad that Kamala hasn't done so because I don't expect her too. Why would I, she's just a Liberal.
