Please post a table showing home ownership, poverty, unemployment, and imprisonment rate for Norwegian-Americans.
H/T to Milton Friedman for his response when given such statistics for Sweden.
This is a key distinction imo. If you watch Bush and Reagan debate in 1980 a huge factor for supporting immigration from central and South America was foreign policy during the Cold War. A lot of conservatives today don’t understand why they were pro-Mexican immigration, but they thought it would make Mexico wealthier, more resilient to communism, and friendlier to the USA.
Today in 1863, a 34-year-old college professor from Maine named Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain helps fend off repeated Confederate attacks against the left flank of the Union line at Gettysburg. The fight for Little Round Top will become one of the battle's most celebrated moments.
[Happy Bayonets!!! Day to all who celebrate.]
It’s going to own so hard when the GOP drops the really brutal shit in the Platner Files in October, he loses by 10, and leftoids pretend they did nothing wrong and are the future of the Democratic Party because they got some retards in New York elected via low turnout primaries
@souljagoyteller@tacitdimension Grant is the key link that made the GOP a party unified around fiscal conservatism in the aftermath of the civil war when slavery was no longer the animating issue of the party.
Julie Gonzales only losing by 6 despite no major endorsements and being outspent 13:1 by an incumbent Senator with no obvious scandal or major misstep is one of the more impressive primary results I’ve seen, and a sign of real Democratic primary voter dissatisfaction.
@EsotericCD The government essentially didn’t operate most summers because of this. Before AC it was genuinely unliveable. And yet…I will be there July 4th drenched in sweat hydroplaning my way across the capitol.
@ComputerEnjoye1@souljagoyteller I think this is about Trump, but the argument against Musk would essentially ban all immigrants. If we want to brain drain other countries by poaching their geniuses he’s the best choice.
@souljagoyteller China is repressive and poor. They do have camps for minorities they don’t like. They want to conquer their peaceful democratic neighbors. Not sure why you would think China proves communism isn’t so bad.
@StatisticUrban The candidates who have no interest are always well liked because they are above the fray, once they enter the fray that changes. Schrödingers President like Colin Powell or Sherman. John McCain had even better favorables and performed worse than anyone else this century.
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism... Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” - Theodore Roosevelt
@WillTobin13 It wouldn’t shock me. I don’t think I’ve met a Democrat under 40 that likes America, let alone loves it. None of them are normal like Bill Clinton or whatever.
Funniest part of Michael Bennett being thrown out of the Democratic Party is that he’s one of the most thoughtful wonks in the business. His POTUS campaign was boring as hell, but he probably had the only healthcare plan that could actually become law.
