This IS who we are now.

This is who we are. From Japanese internment camps to Kids in Cages during Trump 1.0 xenophobia and racism are in America's DNA. White America knew what they were voting for. Especially Floridians. The question is why are we tolerating it?

Miller Noem Homan and Trump will rot on hell someday

Mr. Walsh, perhaps you didn’t see it early on, but it became apparent early on in the 2016 Presidential Race that many Americans were this way, sadly. Yet, you and a big contingent of others pushed on and here we are. I’m glad you backtracked. Many others have not, tho.

Yes it is. Always has been too.

No, but it is who Trump and MAGA is!

You say this and yet it absolutely is at least 49.8% of americans(2024 trump vote)

It is now. And we need to change it. But let’s be real. This is who we are right now.

Apparently it is now.

It is now sadly. Hurts if you have a shred of empathy.

How long before lice, bed-bugs, cockroaches, vermin etc infest it? Inadequate sanitation means major disease is only a matter of time. WTF have we become!

This is axiomatically incorrect

It is how many of “us” are

Turns out it is

But that’s the problem, Joe. It is. It is now.

It is what we allow it to be and it’s been six months so the time is now to end what it’s becoming. #Resist #ArmYourselves #War

Did anyone think it would be different?

Maybe it is? As uncomfortable as it may be to recognize. Japanese internment camps, Jim Crow, trail of tears, slavery, etc. But, we can always strive to try and meet the ideal.

It definitely shouldn’t be. But current republicans find a way.

And yet it is.

I'm sickened by the state of our country.

Yes, it is. This what Republicans have made us.

Sadly this *is* who we are right now. It's not what I want our country to be, but not enough people in this country agree with me. Most Americans appear to be cool with all of this cruelty.

Unfortunately this is exactly who we are ☹️

Yes it is, Joe. 40% of active voters absolutely wanted this.

I was arguing all along it was not the alligators we should be focused on but the isolation, the heat, & the mosquitoes. Later, those tents are going to breed mold. I didn’t predict maggoty meals and a lack of water for hygiene. Judging by how they ran camps previously, soap & TP will be scarce.

It is exactly who roughly 40% of this country is. Sad but true.

Actually, this is precisely who 30 to 35% of Americans are

For the umpteenth time - It IS who we are…at least in red states like FL and TX. And I guess it depends on how you define “we”, doesn’t it? It is true that there are those of us, you, me and others, that this is not who we are. But on balance and collectively, yes, we voted for this.

It is what republican voters are. It's been clear since 2016 that Trump is a racist authoritarian who has not just an absence of empathy but a predilection for cruelty. They knew what they were voting for.

Only MAGA! I have to register as a Republican in Florida because Democrats never run in my area. It's the only way make my vote count.

Still want to see their crisis management plan

It is exactly who conservatives are. They’ve been showing us exactly this for the last 100 years.

Racist. Misogynistic. Nazis.

You were that. What do you mean we’re not this? Absolutely MAGA is that. Those are Americans who want this. Spare me this fake idea that Americans are moral. Half of the people are fucking deeply cruel.

Is he “that” now? Let’s not be doing purity tests.

It’s not a purity test: it’s a reality check. MAGA is absolutely those people, and he should know as he was one. He’s lying to himself to believe “we’re not this” - absolutely we are this. They elected Trump twice. I argue with these idiots daily.

It is who we are becoming

Unfortunately, reality and elections results show that it is indeed who we are. ☹️ This is the opposite of what ideals were used to found the USA.

Apparently, it is who we are because it's happening! It's disgusting, but it's happening, and nobody is stopping it!

Well, apparently it's who the American Fascist Party is.

Unfortunately it is who we are now.

Joe… it is who we are.

But it certainly is what fascism is. It would be nice if some in our crack media would consider using the word.🙄

With respect, sir, it's exactly who a majority of Floridians are. I'm heartbroken for my state and what it has become.

Unfortunately, it is who we are. We need to change.

I disagree. Yes, it is who we are.

Or is it?

We need to start saying we should be better than this because clearly this is exactly who we are these days. The sooner we admit it the sooner we'll be truly prepared to fight back. We all need to remove our Rose Colored glasses.

This is absolutely who we are , just the republican side of us. No rights “tough” wannabe Russians.

It’s not who we should be or used to be! It is, however, who we are currently.

they have actual road signs that say alligator Alcatraz already, but we can't find out a way to help notify people of floods?

For White Americans, obviously and sadly, it is who the majority of them are.

Sorry @walshfreedom.bsky.social but this is exactly who Republicans are. That may not be the we but it damn sure is who 3.5M Pennsylvanians are, and 2.8M North Carolinians are, and the same amount in Michigan are. You understand the point. 77.3M voted for this because cruelty to others is the point
