    The issue is everyone wants a better life for themselves and their own family and peoples. It’s still a minority that is even concerned about the general wellfare of the masses

    And there’s a dangerous amount of people who are willing to throw others into the shredder to achieve that goal. That’s what this country has always promoted

      Agreed. You can’t separate the American people wholesale from settle colonialism and imperialism, it’s baked into the majority

      I legit think you're giving them too much credit.

      I know dozens of people locally whose families would benefit massively from even the modest safety net proposed by new york liberals but they are legitimately more concerned with eliminating the safety net because a minority might move to town and benefit from it even though that's never happened and they are currently benefitting from it.

      You're literally doing yourself a disservice if you try to approach them with the assumption they're rational people who just want the best for their family.

      My mom is retired and works the local food pantry a couple days a week, she has had multiple disabled people who rely on medicaid come in and gloat about how trumps gonna kick illegals off of welfare and they're gonna have to actually start working (again there are literally zero minorities in our town let alone immigrants)
