[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an immigrant. I came from Canada 10+ years ago and have worked as a social worker for a state government. I'm terrified of the new administration revoking my green card over a new executive order. I have been an advocate for victims of abuse who are disabled. Funding is being cut for social programs, from Meals on Wheels to adult day health programs. I don't want my kid to die from a preventable disease and choose to vaccinate.

All I hear are complaints about immigrants, waste fraud and abuse, and lazy government workers. Why do you hate us so much? [/quote]

We used to unify ourselves by hating the Soviet Union. When the iron curtain fell, we saw that hatred turn inward and racism spiked again.

We hated Muslims after 9/11 and others again felt a sense of unity.   That has faded.

So we turned on one another by political party.

Offshoots of that include progressives hating police.  That hatred generated a lot of momentum that made people feel antiracist and therefore provided a sense of unity, particularly against the racists.

And now, MAGA has turned conservatives against government employees. It has generated a lot of momentum to focus on dismantling the feds, making another group of people feel righteous, again providing a sense of unity.

I'm not sure why we must de-humanize different groups to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.  But it seems to be an enduring American trait.  [/quote]

Stop making it into a personal attack. MAGA is not against government employees, we're against the NGO's & offshoots of the government that are stealing OUR money.  And we're not going to get lectured to by those of you that have been virtue-signaling & dehumanizing anyone that doesn't conform and fall into lockstep with destructive ideologies & policies the left has been pushing for the past decade. Try some introspection instead.[/quote]
