@Noahpinion This a thermostatic response. If they had stopped at securing the border, we wouldn’t see this swing. They couldn’t help themselves but go full white nationalist though.
@Noahpinion Immigration is good, but we let abuse of the refugee system go too far. We need limited, orderly immigration to reduce the appeal of right wing populists.
Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸
@mattyglesias Some of your takes about encouraging Palestinian refugees are a little spicy for me, but in general I agree that both sides are bad and the US should just distance ourselves from the conflict as much as possible.
@Noahpinion Every genocide ever had used this justification right? Hitler thought the Jews wanted to destroy the German people. “We have to destroy them before they can destroy us”
@mattyglesias Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it really sounds like you’re arguing that a successful ethnic cleansing is preferable to a long conflict?
@mattyglesias People on the Israeli right will pretty openly talk about making the Palestinians lives so difficult that they “self-deport”. It kind of sounds like this is your preferred outcome?
