[quote=Anonymous][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]

Perhaps you should take your own advice.  For you, both some research and introspection are in order.  If you can't argue about real issues and real facts, don't come on here and waste our time with parroting GOP lies.  NGOs are not stealing your money.  If you don't like how Congress appropriated it, talk to your Congressional rep.

You are the one lecturing and you are doing it from a BS soapbox build on GOP propaganda.
