My experience too. Any time there is an ask for data, the converstion stops because it is all fear and hysteria from talking heads.

Yep, They don’t know anyone who has lost a job to an immigrant.Just Fox News scaring people who couldn’t buy groceries and house prices so high they needed to blame someone.So the billionaires said look here they are the reason.Don’t look at us. Also unless you are indigenous we are all immigrants.

Agree. The GOP has always been about fear & blame. I had someone tell me the indigenous in our country aren't "native" because they came across the Bering land mass so "they are immigrants too." Can't argue with evangelical ignorance.

My kids who are indigenous and one had a secretary at a public school tell her when she was wearing her tribes shirt “we are all American” and she celebrates “Columbus he was a great man”. To my indigenous child. My kid 9 at the time didn’t understand. Ignorance isn’t an excuse in 2025.

I'm so sorry your kids were subject to such ignorance. There truly are really stupid people in the world and Trump has made their ignorance a badge of honor, unfortunately.

Thank you, and yes it’s emboldened the ignorant people to think they are right. That they can say horrible things with no consequences. But we will resist and fight back. Can’t let them win ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

“Black jobs” they said, then did away with DEI so there would be no such things
