Never heard of illegal immigration and our southern border? I guess if you erase the border then automagically no one is forcing themselves on your territory because you have none.

Or it could be that political parties lead to conformity - like the Republicans pushing out the establishment and the Trump-MAGA faction gaining control. Same for the Clinton-Establishment faction having control of the Dems at the expense of the Progressive-Justice Democrats.


Our system of elections is such that only two major parties can thrive for long. Under a Parliamentary system, there are multiple parties, often no party gets a majority of the seats and they have to form coalitions with their closest ideological/policy kin.

Diversity does not lead tom fragmenting, fear and racism does.

INteresting that liberals encourage immigration of peoples that are usually opposed to things like gay marriage and women's rights. And they want to encourage the salad bowl where immigrants keep their old countries' cultures vs the melting pot where they assimilate and adopt American culture. In the liberal mind, blacks should also not integrate and stick mainly with the black community and look out for black interests, and Hispanics should look out for the interests of their native countries, same with Muslim immigrants.

Interesting that they want Muslims immigrating here to keep their native culture which is sexist and homophobic rather than assimilate into American culture.

The reason is liberals don't like or respect the original white majority electorate and see it as an obstacle, and will do anything to dilute and replace it. Once that obstacles is out of the way democrats will be able to institute their authoritarianism, overregulate and overtax everything and who knows what else.

You rightwingers just have cognitive dissonance - you love to rag on Muslims or other countries for supposedly being homophobic, but at the same time you support politicians and policies that are homophobic and sexist in this country, or are hostile or oppose policies that strengthen civil protections and rights to LGBT people and women in general.

Years ago, I pointed this out to a rightwinger who in the same post, lambasted Fidel Castro for being hostile to gay people, AND sneered at LGBT people's efforts to get civil rights as "special rights". Can't make this stuff up.

Politicians and policies some republicans support aren't "homophobic" and "sexist" just because some democrat says so to begin with.

No dissonance. Gays aren't entitled to any special rights and should be subject to the same criteria as everyone else. That means marriage is a man and a woman...if they don't want a straight marriage (ie, a real actual marriage), then they don't have to have one.
But no, they wanted the special rights to do something nobody else had.

The racial context of your post is what I rolled my eyes at.
