I agree, although it is a "real" enemy in the sense that their ascension is a threat to US hegemony or the idea of the USA as the preeminent world superpower. I don't see it as rational, but there is definitely an argument th

They (CNN, etc.) brand a large group (roughly half the electorate) as Nazis / fascists or Nazi-and-fascist-adjacent without any real scrutiny. Generally, this doesn't target any specific person except maybe Trump. The consequence

So I think we all understand that the headline is inaccurate, that the only thing that has been discredited is its diagnosis or use as evidence of child abuse. It should bother people to read crappy arguments like the one contained directly

I get tired of the constant deferral to socioeconomics as an excuse. It's pretty simple, we don't allow people to be born with zero documentation in the US. This would be a massive fuckup, and it doesn't matter if the kid is
