    I’m sorry, but when you actively support bullshit laws like this that dehumanize people, you don’t get to call yourself an American. Simple as that

      To be clear, I am not defending them. I am just pointing out bad logic because it leads to bad beliefs and opinions.

      Unfortunately, these people are Americans, and there’s a whole bunch of them. There is no value whatsoever in trying to argue otherwise.

        All I’m trying to say is that fascism is decidedly un-American

        Unfortunately that seems to be changing. It’s almost as if this country learned nothing 80 years ago

          Yeah I dunno about all that… Hitler famously got most of his ideas from America. He modeled a lot of Nazi Germany after Jim Crow, and all the eugenics stuff originated in the US and was big in the academic community prior to WW2.

          We even had a massive conspiracy by corporations to take down FDR and install a fascist dictator. George W. Bush’s grandfather was literally involved.

            I suppose you’re right that bringing nationality into it probably wasn’t the best idea.

            This is still unacceptable though
