96. Well that doesn't work in the aggregate

Fri Nov 15, 2024, 02:54 PM

Friday

You think other countries want an influx of Americans coming to them, especially older ones? That is laughable.

It’s just like the right wing says to all immigrants filing for asylum here telling them to “stay in their country and fight to make things better”. Immigration, no matter the country, is what turns people towards the right isolationist ideology.

And the grass is not greener in other countries. So go ahead. I am not leaving and will stay and fight. But don’t come back if it does get better.
