You’re gonna need to explain what you mean by “real Americans” because I’m pretty sure the the urban, liberal, multicultural folks in this country outnumber the white, rural, conservative ones. What’s your criteria for a “real” American? (a

This seems like the political equivalent of "rolling coal". Damaging the nation's health and well-being purely to spite political opponents, with barely a fig leaf for rationale ("jobs" somehow, I guess, although of

So you think the comment above that advocates for fascism is referring to the Italian political party? Or are you just trying to muddy the water about what fascism actually is and who is a fascist?
