Thanks for being honest. I find your comments fascinating. You mention, in passing, how immigrants are making the country worse because they are left-leaning.

Thanks for being honest. I find your comments fascinating.
You mention, in passing, how immigrants are making the country worse because they are left-leaning. The left-leaning behaviors you mention are a disregard for the environment (?), being concerned with one’s own family and fortunes (??) and mocking traditional American foods (???).
Even if these things are happening but what does this have to do with being left-wing? The myopic mall-goers sound more like suburban GOP types. And who is mocking hamburgers and meatloaf? That sounds like a white college student to me.
Lastly - I think it’s a dubious proposition that America single-handedly brought democracy to the world, but there’s no question that it was an important step in human political evolution.
But that’s because the USA is uniquely blind to ethnicity, religion, and origin, defining government as the guardian of everyone’s liberty. Probably everything you cherish as all-American is a direct result of that attitude, including hamburgers and meatloaf.
America, so far, has been really good at turning newcomers into Americans - or turning America into someplace that values what the newcomers brought. Why are you losing faith in this now?
