It’s a simplistic POV but not necessarily stupid. It’s when they move on from the plight of the Palestinian people to support of Hamas that the nonsensical part begins.

Obviously there are gay folks there; there are gay folks everywhere. Darn near all of the Palestinians object to homosexuality though. https://www.equaldex.com/region/palestine I was (bi)curious to see what regions were rated worse since the quote for the link said Palestine was 119 out of 124. Clicking on the "124 region" link shows a table that actually lists Palestine at 122. Apparently Lebanon and Armenia are the regions ranked lower. The more you know Edit: these "Queers for Palestine" should go over there and donate blood for all those poor injured "freedom fighters". Oh wait, they can't since that's illegal.

Most sayings become sayings because they are fact. There's a reason why the term "liberal sheep" is common saying/term. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other side of the coin is that Democrats see immigrants as nothing more than votes. Votes. That's it. That's what they are. 2.) Immigrants like free stuff.

The only reason that new immigrants tend to vote Democrat is because they believe, with good reason, that Republicans have become nativist and anti-immigrant. That’s mainly it. If you removed nativism from the equation, if you returned to the party of Ronald Reagan who was welcoming of immigrants, I’m convinced Republicans would have a permanent majority.

Republicans are not anti-immigrant. All I read is that they want to enforce the "Federal Laws" that are in place. Just because some people don`t like a law and there are many I don`t like does not mean we change the law. Reagan welcomed people who followed immigration guidelines like we all should. I am convinced if the Dems demanded a strong border with border security they would have permanent majority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This logic.....this is where I bristle with the liberal approach to "thinking". The immediate move to assert motive in this manner is entirely counter-productive. If this were turned around on some position YOU held, you would be justifiably indignant. It's just not the way we should operate as a society. Republicans are not anti-immigrant, but they do acknowledge the dangers and consequences of allowing uncontrolled immigration as has been done.

It is not different at all, though I do understand the lies propogated by Democrats and their propogandists in the media like to use this. I would encourage you to pause before believing any of them, and not digest any of it as simple truth.
