Yuge mistake to assume the leftists know how to think.

Right Wing Myth. Simply the use of the flag by the right to cover racism and xenophobia

Illegal aliens receive no free education that is not received by all. More intersting question is why the US established a program that forced the cost of college out of reqch by providing loans to cover the increased cost. Note that those who did it knew they would not be repayable hence the removal of bankruptcy to relieve such loans.

Some American citizens are racists and Nazis. So what else would you call them. Dreamers is as title to reflect the fact there are some illegal aliens who committed no sin but are now trapped.

Deporting all illegals would cost many lives and a great deal of money.

That flag is simply an emblem of the group. Has no other value. They simply proclaim their common root. Indicates no interest whatsoever in returning there.

the Constitution has pieces that need to be rewritten but likely will in the end be replaced by a new Constitution as the old one does not allow rational amendment.

And Right Winger cannot even hear other views they are so deaf to anyone not in their echo chamber.

The willingness of the right wing to punish the poor is legendary. This is just a an attempt to disown the problems they create.

Thast the frequency and severity of hurricanes may be influenced by climate change is simply a theory that is worth considering. In a decade or two we will know if it is true. If the Keys vanish there may be some truth to it.

Did Trump collude? I've been saying probably not-but his team probably did, but now recent events make me wonder about Trump.
You know what the narrative has been for the last 1.5 years.

And in case you are not aware... most people already distrust government. We don't need the Russians to do anything.

Your answer is nonsense.

My post is backed up by facts. Distrust of the government has recently skyrocketed. And the Russians are pushing. Both of those are facts, with evidence to back them up. Might I suggest using google?

So if my answer is nonsense, be specific. Why do you think that? Because it disagrees with your assumptions?
