If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

1947, George Orwell crumples up another sheet of paper and throws it across the room at the bin, and mutters to himself: "Ministry of health, what was I thinking, what a stupid idea, I mean really..."

Giving space, time, oxygen, to bigots in your quest for 'respectful debate' is enabling bigotry. To pretend that rights have 'sides'w is to enable bigotry. To frame lies as 'claims' that have equal weight is how we got here. Liberal performance of 'reasonable debate' got us here.

I think this is probably the most honest thing I've ever seen quoted from him. As is, he doesn't care if anyone comes in to "raid the wealth" of America for personal gain as long as he gets his cut.

Every so often someone (irl) will accuse me of wanting to ban all religions, and they (& anyone else listening) are always shocked when I say No. I don't. Banning it just forces it underground, it won't get rid of it. I want it held up where everyone can see it. And point at it. And laugh at it.
