  1. On a serious note I have a few older black patients who farm/ranch. Very few of their kids have any interest in helping out. They can’t even get their grandkids to come out to ride horses, shoot guns, etc. much less shred the pasture, repair fences, vaccinate and castrate livestock and such. We have the same issue with our family farm. The only people willing to do this work seem to be families from southern Mexico and Central America. And their kids aren’t following in the parents’ footsteps. It’s going to be a big problem in the near future I’m afraid

    The bigger indicator for societal strife is not absolute poverty levels, it’s relative disparity between the haves, and have nots. It’s a really big problem in our country and it’s only getting bigger. i’m pretty sure I have. I’m not arguing that you are pro mass immigration, just pointing out that the Republican party is and why. I think by just about any objective measure it is clear that mass immigration is not only beneficial but necessary for our country to continue prospering. That’s obviously fodder for a different thread

    Both sides agree mass immigration is great. One side wants it to be legal and above board. The other side wants to keep it illegal for campaign scare tactics and an inexhaustible supply of cheap labor you can fix illegal immigration tomorrow by making it a 10 year penitentiary crime for the CEO of any company caught employing undocumented labor. I wonder why that never gets proposed?

    ***they are also pedophiles Agree to disagree. What you’re describing in the rest of your post I would call “picking your battles.” But I don’t get the sense from the other posts of yours I have read that that is what you are doing here. eta I agree with your position that not all authoritarianism is fascism. The current problem here in the US is that the people in power who are trying to implement authoritarian policies check most if not all the fascism boxes
  5. I’m sure hoping there’s some congress
  6. Strident heterosexual here checking in
  7. You are way overthinking this. People are telling him things he doesn’t want to hear. That’s literally it.
  8. Also lets the non crazy (I know) republican members of congress know that they have options other than resigning to resist the crazy 8 or so that have been fucking everything up
