Immigrants are extremely good and cool. I want more immigrants in this country for a whole shitload of reasons. They contribute to culture. They contribute to the economy. I've always liked having them as neighbors. Someone please invent a pro-immigration politician so I can vote for them.

It's been happening to me over the past several months. I was just talking to a friend and mentor at work about this. My patience is totally shot, my empathy is waning in many scenarios. . . the days of Generally Good Dude Ben™ are definitely ending as I approach 44yo. And I hate it
