Where would one’s right and liberty to shop at a grocery fall in all of this? Seems like it’s fallen into the hands of the criminal, no?

You do not need to believe in shit like that to have a hardline immigration position or policy. You do not need to accuse your perceived political opponents of a malicious plan to replace “real” Americans with “obedient” foreigners, in order to sell reduced immigration as a talking point. These things cannot be conflated.

I was upset because i was doing really good last week ignoring the Current Thing™, and then I saw one stupid Facebook post and I was like FUCK, now I have to participate in the The Discourse™ and give my opinion on the Current Thing™ and now I'm not gonna get any work done because this is super important and relevant to my life and I really have some say in how any of the world events play out and my day was ruined!
