Immigration

Somehow Conservatives and Libertarians have become anti-immigrant because we're for border control, including something like a border wall.

I know it's a talking point the left likes to use to stir up emotions and get more people on their side. Of course the people flocking to the left because they think the right hates immigrants is another scary topic as they're being misled but they don't care enough about it to actually research it.

I haven't met a single conservative or republican or libertarian that is against immigration. I for one have no problem with immigration. The only problem I have is when people come into the country illegally. That shouldn't be a controversial statement. We all want to be sure we're not letting in criminals and rapists and.. oh god, did I just sound like Trump? It wasn't on purpose! It's just common sense. We DON'T want the criminals sneaking in. That also shouldn't be a controversial statement.

What's wrong with a wall to protect that border? Yeah, most criminals will be able to figure out a way around it, or over it, or under it. But it will make them have to take at least one more step to get here and that might be a step they're not willing to go. Is it going to stop all illegal immigration? Of course not, and nobody in their right mind would say it will. There's a reason you put a lock on your door. Any person really determined to come into your house is going to make it through a lock. It's just another obstacle they have to overcome to get in. If they're desperate, they'll still do it, but this might ust be enough to make it not worth it.

Come in legally. I know it's a pain and takes too long, but if we can control the influx of people first, we can then start working on the process to become a legal citizen. But you have to control the flow first, otherwise you're just closing one hole and another is opening.

But with all that, I don't hate illegal immigrants, I just want them to be here legally and do it the right way. I believe most every other person on this plant believes the same thing for their own country. And no, I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis or white nationalists, because those people should be totally condemned. Oh god, I sounded like Trump again. I think I need a nap.

Jumping to Conclusions: The Dangers of Assuming Racism Before All the Facts are Known

In today's digital age, social media has provided a platform for people to voice their opinions and reactions to news stories and events almost instantly. Unfortunately, this has also created a culture where people jump to conclusions and make assumptions without having all the facts. This is particularly true when it comes to issues of race, where allegations of racism can quickly spread on social media and cause public outrage before all the details have been established.

The recent incident involving an 85-year-old man shooting a young black man who was allegedly trying to break into his home is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Before any information had been released about the incident, people on Twitter were actively doxing the alleged perpetrator, assuming that he was a racist who had shot the young man because of his race. However, as more details have emerged, it has become clear that the situation is much more complex than initially assumed.

It is possible that the ...

Gun Control?

The issue of gun control in the United States is a complex and controversial topic, with advocates on both sides of the issue. While some believe that individuals have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, others argue that the easy availability of guns contributes to the country's high rate of gun violence. Regardless of where one stands on the issue, it is clear that there is a need to get guns off the streets or at least out of the hands of people who should not have them.

The United States has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the world. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there were over 43,000 incidents of gun violence in the United States in 2021, resulting in over 23,000 deaths and over 42,000 injuries. This level of gun violence is unacceptable and something needs to be done to address it.

One approach to addressing gun violence is to enact stronger gun control laws. This could include universal background checks, waiting periods, and restrictions on the sale...

Trump's Narcissism Hinders Allyship and Progress for Republicans

Donald Trump's narcissism is well-known and widely documented. He has a deep need for attention and validation, and he often puts his own interests above those of others. This has become particularly evident in his relationship with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who could be a valuable ally for Trump.

DeSantis has been a strong supporter of Trump and his policies, and he is seen by many as a rising star in the Republican Party. He has also been praised for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida, which has earned him a great deal of respect and admiration.

However, despite DeSantis's potential as an ally, Trump seems unable to let anyone else share the spotlight. He frequently criticizes DeSantis and other Republican leaders, even when they are working to advance his own agenda.

This kind of behavior is characteristic of narcissistic personality disorder, which is a mental condition that affects a person's ability to relate to others. Narcissists often have a grandiose sense of ...
