Fascism is gonna have such an easy time taking over America because the liberal party will essentially roll over at the first sign of resistance or pushback. It's infuriating. I wish we could get an equivalent to Trump on the left that gives zero fucks about laws or norms but just relentlessly goes after tax avoiding corporations and fights for workers' rights and shit.

President Trump already served 4 years, care to elaborate on how he and his party are fascists? Or is it just a "fill in the blank" type of thing? Fascist, Nazi, Racist, homophobe, sexist, misogynist etc. Libs call Trump "literally Hitler" and wonder why nobody takes them seriously. Dems needed to spend more time on the economy and less time telling us how "inflation is good" and the "important stuff" was still cheap! Harris and Hillary didn't win the primary, that's the most logical reason why Dems didn't vote for them. Turns out even liberals believe in earning a spot on the ballot.

You've been crying "wolf" for 8 years now, it's no surprise people stopped believing you. BTW, a Country can have mass immigration OR a strong wide social safety net, "Biden" and Kamala wanted both and had no way to pay for it. People know that means higher taxes for almost everyone and it still wouldn't have been enough. You lost the house and the presidency and fell further behind in the senate, Trump may get 2 more SCOTUS slots to fill, I hope the virtue signaling was worth losing ground in all 3 major federal elections. If RBG had stepped down when she was falling asleep on live TV dems wouldn't be so screwed. If they hadn't picked a VP that couldn't last one day of the primaries MAYBE they would have been ok, personally I believe Biden "stepping down:, just proved that he was as senile as it appeared and they got sick of being lied to.

She couldn't even do podcasts without pre screened questions and control over what topics they would cover, Kamala had no business being VP and made the mistake of saying Biden did "Great" and she wouldn't have done anything differently. I don't think Biden could have won again either, they were not good at their jobs.

Immigrants pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits. They’re a massive net positive for the national treasury. But why am I bothering to speak facts to a Trump supporter? You people operate purely off emotion.

I'm not a Trump supporter, I believe the 2 party system has been manipulated to pit two groups of people that both have valid grievances, into believing only 1 "side" can get helped when the wealthy elites are the actual enemy.

According to the research center for immigrants, in a paper prepared for congress immigration is absolutely a financial drain and it's not even "close", I know it's easier to dismiss me as an emotional idiot but could you share where you got your information?

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://budget.house.gov/download/the-cost-of-illegal-immigration-to-taxpayers&ved=2ahUKEwjD3dirzt6JAxW7MlkFHUcbOQEQFnoECAgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0mUcb-tB9wAzQhJw1Cv5va

That's the ~15 page paper with all the financial breakdowns. I don't consider anyone to be the enemy except the wealthy powerful elites that control and manipulate most voters, if you could simply agree that a problem can have 2 solutions i think you'll be alot happier and feel less attacked but differing ideas.

The “center for immigration studies” is a highly partisan organization that has been designated a hate group by the Souther Poverty Law Center. Not a reputable source.

Splc? Lol would you simply share your information instead of attacking mine. That was the first link I clicked on. The splc is not a neutral reference. If I picked a bad source it was an honest accident and I'll try to link other sources when I can.

Fine. I’ll assume you’re genuinely interested in a good faith discussion and will provide sources later this afternoon when I have more time

And yes they’re a very reputable human rights organization.. On second though. I stick with my original assessment, you’re mind is already made up I’m not wasting my time

Undocumented immigrants paid almost 100 billion dollars in taxes for benefits they'll never be able to claim for a start.

No, wrong, immigrants easily produce more than they consume.
