Turns out, the rest of the world is not sympathetic towards yankees when their chickens come home to roost.
Those kids in cages didn't deserve to be put in cages. They're also Americans.
The people being shot in the street are Americans.
The people trying to stop this insanity and getting arrested for it are Americans.
You want to throw the baby out with the bath water? Then you're in favor of what Trump does. You're in favor of ICE.
There's people who had no hand in this happening who don't deserve the reprocussions for other people's greed and evil.
Man, all I did was be born here. I didn't settle anywhere but where I was allowed. I've never killed anyone. I never opted in to being American, and opting out is hard as shit. Agreed, the America we have is a pile of donkey shit, but I didn't shit that pile. Most of us didn't. Vent your anger elsewhere.
Blah blah blah. We're not a monolith. But I can confidently say you personally have some demons. Sorry America's one of em. I still didn't do jack shit to you, but stay mad I guess. That'll accomplish something.
