How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?
Before agriculture, we were all hunter-gatherers. You are just as much a murderer of animals as I am. Saying the slaughterhouse does it for you is a deflection. The argument firearms don't kill, people do is flawed and misleading. Guns are tools specifically designed to kill people. The prevalence of guns is directly proportional to the number of atrocities committed by mentally unstable people. If you don't understand the correlation, you're as dumb as a can of soup. I can accept there are people on ASEAN smarter than me. You are not one of them. -

Milwaukee Judge indicted for Aiding Immigrant's Escape from ICE Custody
correct, and exactly how Ms Google defines it also ... ... "In the context of immigration, "undocumented immigrant" and "illegal alien" are essentially used interchangeably to describe individuals who are not legally authorized to reside in the United States. Undocumented Immigrant: This term refers to individuals living in the U.S. without valid visas or immigration documents, meaning they lack legal immigration status" ... They are criminals. As soon as the cross the border without going through normal check point, they are criminals. They may get deported immediately, or released with a court date, to have their case heard. Don't show up for that court date and a warrant is issued for your arrest. Or in this case, commit a crime and don't show for that court date (jump bail) and a warrant is issued, and or deportation order. -

Turns out the Trump-maga and Mao-cultural revolution connection is actually a real thing
Thing is they are not trying to do that. In the past, in traditional politics, politicians, of both shades, would generally hold themselves to a particular standard. What would be considered a relatively minor infraction of the moral code would be followed by a groveling letter of apology and resignation, in the hope of a semblance of a political career could survive. Political corruption, hence the popularity of "Mr Smith Goes to Washington". Did Bill Clinton normalise unpresidential behaviour? Probably. 40 years ago a political candidate boasting of assaulting women in an unguarded moment would have seen his chances cooked; there is no doubt the current President said those words, and they are n ot taken out of contjext. Anybody remember the furore over Reagan jokingly announcing the bombing was to start (of the Soviet Union). They are trying to impose their own values on the US, like all previous politicians. There are no cabinet members with a background that could even remotely connect to the common man (Reagan could, because at one time he would have been a jobbing actor living on mustard sandwiches). Few have had a career in public service, especially local government (even Governors would have seen the letters landing on theirdesks from worried and angry constituents). An example of alien values is George Santos.. He rose to relative prominance despite a lifestyle that many would find offensive, or at least, completely alien. The President himself is a demonstrable adulterer; he has, to my knowledge, never expressed regret over these dalliances to his ex-wives, nor his children. Again, its a lifestyle many people would not really approve of. Many politicians of this ilk have professed to take a country back to traditional values, while being utter hypocrites, or spinning a complete fantasy of a history. John Major; "back to basics", while he was banging Edwina Currie. In extremis, I present a few slightly edited quotes (so you concentrate on the words, and not who said them) What you are describing is a Reactionary, not a Counter Revolutionary. Bannon and others do have a clear vision of America, and its not the same as the America of the past. Some of the President's social media postings come from himself, such a an AI image, or inane postings about Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen. But he also has a team who make postings, such as this: Its likely technically correct; someone has gone though various 150 year old speeches. Though bits of it was. Americans are rightly proud of the words of Emily Lazurus, added to the Statue of Liberty in 1903: For many people, this poem captures the generosity of the American spirit. Between 1870 and 1900, 12 million immigrants, mostly from Europe, landed in America, 70% in New York. In 1850, one in ten Americans were born outside of the US. By 1870, that rose to 15%. Interestingly, the rise 1850 to 1870 is similar to the rise 1990 to 2020. And lets not forget, immigrants form the backbone of the Union Army in the Civil War; 25% of the US Army was foreign born. The key principle of Birthright Citizenship was established in 1898, when Wong Kim Ark went to the Supreme Court over the matter. The Courty found in his favour, affirming the principle of jus solis.
