A country cannot have an immigration policy that creates a massive underclass of ethnic minorities, and expect that this disparity will not have repercussions throughout society.

So yes, it is a major issue.

Trump never acted like a dictator and he doesn't spew hate. He DOES target individuals who continue to "resist" and refuse to work with him, like Pelosi and other people who ran a massive disinformation campaign to take him out with the Russian Collusion Hoax, but I give him a pass on that. He has a mouth on him, it get's him in trouble, I call him out on that because it's his biggest flaw. Everyone has flaws.

The riots were caused by 4 years of lies and targeted oppression, nonstop insults from the left, the pressures of the lockdown, and an election that looked to anyone who was watching to be, well, questionable. Trump didn't have to do anything, it was bound to happen and it will continue now that censorship is out of control. You won't be able to blame Trump for that but I'm guessing you'll try.

I live in a predominately white upper middle-class/upper-class suburb, and it is obvious by the Trump flags and social media platforms that 90% of all residents are Trump supporters. Most are the "silent majority" who are scared that "outsiders" (blacks, Latinos, etc.) who gain a sizable amount of wealth will eventually move in and take over their lilly white suburb and Trump is their messiah who will stop it. I think he even mentioned something to that effect in one of his campaign speeches. IMO, that is what they "hate". They have a "Keep My Neighborhood Wealthy & White" mentality.

I wonder if someone put up Biden flags in their yard in your neighborhood (or other places like it), how that would be received? And would anybody try to mess with that person or their property over it?

Default Media is driving force

The liberal media is dividing the country. Journalism has been dead for a long time, so the "news" reported is in reality "opinions."

In the last couple of years the ads on TV have been pushing us to diversity, various couples and mixed families of color or ethnicity. IMO it is one form of brainwashing. The media reports what they determine we should hear and how.

Who owns the media, billionaire liberals.

Many of us in God's waiting room vote "for the platform," not the "person." The media only reported negatively about Trump and those that cannot see the forest beyond the trees believed every word.

Ads on TV are the purview of advertising agencies and the customers they represent—corporations who have a product or service to sell. The ads are diversified because the companies are trying to reach as many customers as possible. They are not in the business of “dividing the country.”

It's not, but they don't care.



Yeah, if they have one. They don't care. It's almost like they forget that their ancestors came over here when they didn't have a right either.
Why don't you just stop with you lying nonsense? There is nothing xenophobic or racist about opposing illegal immigration! Are you insane??????

Everyone had the right to come here long ago before the U.S. was established as a country with immigration laws and borders.

My ancestors didn't even come here till the early 1900's and the U.S. became a country back in 1776!!!! They followed the rules for coming here. They didn't come here illegally. Keep trying to defend the indefensible you make a bigger fool of yourself with each and every post! Are you a full blooded Amerindian? If not, then according to you YOU have no right to be here so when are you leaving????? As a matter of fact you claimed you are white so you absolutely need to leave since you claim whites have no right to be here. Don't be a hypocrite! Pack your bags now!!!

Nailed it.

Our nation was founded on the principle that the people select their own leaders, that citizens are governed by people they elect.

We've had some struggles getting to the "All men are created equal" part, but we've been working on it.

Lot of hate surrounding this effort.

So they don't want to live with "outsiders". Is there something wrong with that? Sounds normal.
