“It was never about ‘legal’ immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy,” said one human rights lawyer.

      I was constantly reminded of my native heritage by my parents while growing up in Oklahoma; they always argued what stupid fraction of which tribe we were. Of course, there’s no documentation. I did the genealogy a while back, and it turns out I’m so fucking white that I could make snow get deported by ICE; I’m, like, pronounce the H white. Anyway, so much to say that being sent back to England, while certainly a punishment, would be getting off easy, all things considered.

      Edit: I don’t consider myself a racist, I just suffer from skimming. I just re-read the post :(

      I love Native Americans. You guys are the only ones that truely belong here. I just hope that you let us Dems and independents that hate the GOP stay.

        As long as we are all united together and show love and kindness to each other, regardless of our heritage or gender background everything will eventually be better for us all. It is very hard to be optimistic in these times and to offer words of encouragement, but as long as you have love and are willing to share your thoughts I feel that eventually things will improve. The power and greed of a few weak men will pass, and the power of the people will always stand tall.

          Sadly, I have to work not to hate the MAGA people. That in itself makes it hard not to hate them; I don’t want to hate anyone, but they are sooo hateful, if that makes any sense.

            I understand where you are coming from I live in a small town of only 4000 people and I’m pretty sure 95% of them hard-core Trump supporters. Honestly, I just ignore them and just listen to their nonsense and laugh to myself internally.
