Happy 250th birthday to the USA, which I truly believe is the greatest country in the world. It is great despite its flaws and precisely because it corrects for its flaws. Loving the country does not mean loving a particular political figure or an ideology. It’s believing in this country and knowing that it can and will always do better and get better. And I believe that with all my heart! God bless America! Proud to be an American! Happy 4th everyone
Well said. Cannot tell you how many comments I have seen along these lines. Good news is this is mostly on X so many are bots and the remainder account for a small but vocal minority of Americans. They don’t represent the vast majority of Americans
Americans:
The Constitution limits the GOVERNMENT. It’s the thing that says what they can/can’t do. It doesn’t give you your rights, those come from your creator.
Every time you say “the Constitution doesn’t apply to immigrants” you sound uneducated.
@ChristianHeiens You are standing in line waiting for a delicious chick Fil A sandwich, same as those ppl in front of you. You are getting the sandwich enjoying it and moving on, just like they are. Thats what we are doing here.
@TheMAGAMaverick@ArtemisConsort After all your posts (including this one) clearly exhibiting and defending racism now you are trying to deny that you are a racist. Hilarious … and delusional to boot
I know what Tribalism is. And it’s disgusting and ugly especially when based on race. And has resulted in some of the worst episodes in human history’s Ok so we have established that you are indeed a racist. Thankfully the majority of Americans (including white Americans) are not. Goodbye
@TheMAGAMaverick@ArtemisConsort YOU are a hypocrite. And the way you define “your own” is textbook racism. And I (and most decent Americans, of any ethnicity) find it disgusting..
Absolutely not. I was pointing out your ridiculous hypocrisy. You baselessly accused immigrants of raping and pillaging. I am pointing out the FACT that Europeans who first came here DID in fact rape and pillage and enslave. Immigrants who came much later (and nowadays) did not do that. And nowadays it’s the ppl in power who were hand in glove with Epstein (and who you voted for) who have done a lot of raping and pillaging. I NEVER accused white ppl in general of doing anything like that. You are both a racist AND a moron
@TheMAGAMaverick@ArtemisConsort I have ZERO issues with white people or any ethnicity for that matter. I DO have an issue with racists. You are the one who brought up pillaging and raping not me. I was just responding 🤷🏽♂️
@TheMAGAMaverick@ArtemisConsort Anyone born in this country or who comes here legally and naturalizes through the legal process is an American. Period.
The most egregious and ironic side effect of wokeness and its excesses was the resurgence of ACTUAL racism which is prolific all over X these days. I truly hope that once Dems come back to power that we don’t go back to that. The pendulum should swing and just hover around the common sense center
@TheMAGAMaverick@ArtemisConsort The majority of Americans … regardless of ethnicity or background .. do NOT share your ideology. America is the greatest country on earth DESPITE ppl like you. You sir - are distinctly UNAmerican
The projection certainly is strong in this one. Pillaging and raping on this piece of land was done by Europeans back in the day to Native Americans and Black ppl. And the people who are doing the pillaging and raping nowadays are the Epstein class who are in power … who ppl like you voted for. Not immigrants.
@TheMAGAMaverick@ArtemisConsort Oh I know you don’t and probably never did in the past either. Thankfully the majority of Americans do not share your horrendous ideology.
@TheMAGAMaverick@ArtemisConsort That’s exactly the point of America. Anyone from anywhere CAN come here and become a citizen. Thats precisely what makes the US an awesome country. We are NOT like Japan, China, India, or any of the European countries. And thank God for that!
Afghan immigrants helped the US in the War on Terror, risking their lives. If you want to get rid of welfare for immigrants fine - no issues with that. But this level of vitriol is also directed against educated high earning immigrants like Indians as well. At the end of the day, opposition to LEGAL immigration is not about economics. It’s a function of racism and being a complete loser in life looking for someone else to blame.
@SuzanneW38912@SanDiegoKnight It’s still that country. Thats why immigrants continue to come here and make a life. Thats why they have always come. Immigrants are both current and future Americans, regardless of which part of the world they come.
You can play with whatever semantics you want but we absolutely are a nation of immigrants. Always have been. There have been huge waves of immigration throughout history and racist xenophobes have always been against them starting with the Irish, then Italians and so on. Also unlike the first waves of immigrants (who you call settlers and colonists) the later immigrants have not committed massive violence against native communities or enslaved people. Find some other way to make your life better rather than blaming others.
