Find me one Democrat with actual power advocating for open borders.
And it's not as if the speech used by xenophobes is free of racial overtones and dogwhistles, either.
> Are against abortion? Then you’re a misogynist.
If you are against a woman's right to do what they please to their own body, you have to give compelling evidence for why. There is no such evidence.

Because it is a word that historically was used by people who started a lot of wars and were fixated on who/what was _truly_ part of their nation.
The "they" in "they've been shifting" is a strong majority of the people around you who now value racial inclusion and self-autonomy far more highly than ever before. This is a problem of values and pretending that all of them are created equal.
- jessaustin 6y ago... a word that historically was used by people who started a lot of wars... That's us. USA starts lots of wars. We've still got, what, seven going right now? Maybe it's down to six? (Ummm... Iraq Afghanistan Syria Yemen Korea Palestine Iran well that's at least seven but I'm probably missing multiple wars in Africa...)
- koolba 6y agoYep. And the one President in decades that hasn't started any is apparently the war monger.
- jessaustin 6y agoNo, Iran is his. He assassinated their general on neutral ground. That's an act of war.
