It’s NOT what America is but it is what republicans have been for a long time. What do you think your talk about “getting tough on immigration” was going to result in?
As long as the Felon King Trump regime is in power, it sadly is who America is. Every day another country rightfully adds America to the list of countries with travel warnings and advisories.
It is EXACTLY who the Republicans are. Trump called immigrants animals and said they were poisoning the blood of the country. He ran on a platform of hate and bigotry and Americans lined up to support it.
Mr. Walsh, this is absolutely horrible. However, when many Americans voted for t-p, this became America. They cheered at rallies with mass deportation signs in their hands. It is who they are. Now other countries caution their citizens about visiting here. So this is America…for now, not forever.
For all our aspirations and democratic ideals, we have been dragging along this dark underbelly of our history for hundreds of years (slavery, wars, McCarthyism, etc.). Denying it means we don’t face it or come to terms with it.
It is Trump, the GOP Party & MAGA. They are cruel people who have no empathy, understanding nor compassion for others. GWBush's Compassionate Conservative would epitomize wokeness to these people, which is why once overtly Christian Tim Scott, Marco Rubio etc are silent now when he commits cruelty.
If we get through this we’ll need to show the world some accountability. Maybe accept jurisdiction of the ICC in The Hague for quite a few of our officials
Sorry, but it is. Many, many Americans voted for him, and even more did not bother to vote, either through apathy or because they could not bear the thought of voting for a black woman.
Please understand that it is who you are. At least for the moment and certainly on the world stage. It may not be who you want to be but collectively you have to wear this mantle until you actively cast it off.
No, it's not what America ought to be. But it's what America has been too often in the past, while doing its damndest to keep it out of the public eye, and it's what the nativists and Back the Blue types have aspired to bring into the mainstream for decades – so that "those peple" live in fear.
Not all...probably about half. The rest either deluded themselves that it was all just talk, or hadn't been paying attention to the campaign in the first place and voted for him to show they were upset about inflation.
The sooner we face up to the fact that this is EXACTLY who we are the sooner we can reflect on it and change it. As Germany did once, albeit very late.
It is now. I will probably take a war to get Trump out of the White House because he won't leave on his own accord in 3 years and 9 months. Or, unless he just drops dead in his Big Mac, fries and diet Coke.
They’re watching tv channels that aren’t telling them about these things. They live in a different reality. They can’t believe our country would do that and they won’t want to accept it’s true until their faces are rubbed in it.
No, no, no! Do NOT lump ALL of us into your 'Americans are cruel' generalization, please. I believe that MOST Americans are NOT cruel and do NOT enjoy the suffering of others. WE THE PEOPLE need to stand up, shout out and make that clear. Thank you.
If they’re onboard with sending people to concentration camps in El Salvador without any form of due process then genuinely fuck them
I often think back to Hillary falling half of MAGA deplorable. If they were angry then but ok with the above I think they were upset because she was right about them
How come, never once in 53 years, have I ever been invited to participate in a poll? I feel as though if polls were real, at least once in 5 decades, I would have been asked my opinion about something. Just sayin...

Patriotism is the refuge of the scoundrel.
