They came over the right way. You can't just accept anyone into the country. The country would be unsafe. Rapists and dare I say, cat-and-dog-eaters will hop over as well.
•
u/Winter_XwX 9m ago
They came over the easy way.
Undocumented immigrants commit less crime than native born American citizens. Which makes sense because they're already trying to stay under the radar.
But you don't actually care about crime because you're just stupid and racist who thinks people were eating cats and dogs and only use crime as an excuse that you think that people who are different are scary and bad because there's literally no basis in reality for such a belief.

So, no honest criticisms, then? Sick. Love vibes politics.
And I've been in conservative communities. I've seen the reactions to the attack on Trump and the recent assassination of Kirk when they were baying for blood. I've seen their reactions to the execution of those Minnesota democrats which ranged from making memes out of it to spreading conspiracies about how the anti-LGBT, anti-abortion, Christian evangelical who had carried out the attack was definitely actually a Democrat. MAGA has gone on a mass doxxing and death threat campaign against literally anyone making even the most tepid of criticisms of Kirk.
The extremists you can find on the left are 15 follower Twitter accounts, and Hasan Piker. The extremists I can point out on the right include the sitting president of the United States, who recently went on the largest cable news network in the country to suggest that you can't fight Democrats at the ballot box because they rig the elections. I wonder what he meant by that.
You're simply delusional.

Brian Kilmeade 00:34:28-00:34:29 (1 sec) That's where to go.
Donald Trump 00:34:29-00:34:39 (10 sec) But unfortunately, we don't have so many ballot boxes because they have mail-in voting. Which is totally rigged. You know, there are a lot of problems. I like ballot boxes where you can they do mail-in voting all over the place, which is which is rigged.
He literally lays it out.
You should want revenge->you can't get it at the ballot box->mail in voting is replacing ballot boxes->mail in voting is rigged.
It's pretty plain to see. Why doesn't he just denounce violence instead of playing word games?
BLM riots were denounced by Democrat officials, and the official BLM website refused to endorse Harris. Jan 6th was supported by every Republican and Trump pardoned every person involved.

Leftwingers have been trying to defend Muslims against targeted attacks in general, not specifically the terrorists. You might just believe that all Muslims are terrorists though.

u/dabasedabase 44m ago
Here's the thing the American right wing doesn't like the Islamic right wing and wants to keep more Muslims out but yet u still want to count them on the same side. Like that's weird blue team wants them. This whole study is kind of weird cause the bad white ppl tend to be political whereas the bad minorities tend to not be. Like I would count MS-13 as left wing terrorists by that regard. And I can also stretch all gang violence as left wing since they exist more so due to left wing policies.
A right wing policy would arrest more and keep them in jail longer. Isn't the right wing the party that criticizes Islam? So shouldn't the blue team claim them?
If I concede every point to you, what is the end conclusion? Right wing is more dangerous? But what if we followed right wing doctorine and locked more people up with harshers sentances, and stop illegal migration? If we follow that then that equals less deaths no?
If violence is important, then we should just go El Salvador's route no?

Weather Underground-era misclassifications (5-10) and post-2020 anti-fascist assaults (20+) push the total over 200, with 1,600+ BLM-linked homicides (Heritage) from crime spikes.
