As Republican Texas leaders show support for Trump’s mass deportation plans, undocumented people — some who have lived in America for decades — are weighing their options amid mounting fears.

Oh hey, the guy who wrote Green Eggs and Ham thinks less of me? Oh no, whatever shall I do? He’s so smart, he rhymed “Sam I am” with “Green Eggs and Ham”!
/s in case that wasn’t obvious.
If you knew anything about history, you’d know that “America First” has always been synonymous with fascism.
And don’t worry, I never thought you were in danger of having an introspective thought. Reactionary ideology seeks to isolate members and inculcate them with antisocial dogma through ragebait, racism, and identity politics. It’s a counterrevolutionary movement that blames minorities and foreigners for the failings of capitalism, just like all of the fascist movements of the early 20th century.
Oh, and as a brief aside: Abraham Lincoln was a radical progressive. I just threw that in there because I know how much that fact pisses off fundamentalist reactionaries.
Abraham Lincoln also suspended Habeas Corpus and oversaw mass arrests of protestors and journalists, a perfect example of a radical progressive being an actual fascist. I bet that fact pisses you off, being a radical progressive yourself.
Nope, it doesn’t piss me off that reactionaries get what is coming to them: if you abandon the social contract you shouldn’t get the protection that it provides.
The only good fascist is a dead fascist. Leave it to a reactionary to get it exactly backwards.
I’m sure you would have been among those who thought ending slavery no matter the cost was too radical.
Your surface-level understanding is, as usual, adorable.
Let’s end fascism with actual fascism! Do you not understand what habeas corpus is?
Lincoln did something that ended well, but that does not excuse what he did.
You have no idea what actual fascism is.
Ending slavery for four million people is in no way fascism. The fact that this confuses you so much is predictable, because the anti-intellectual ragebait that you listen to preaches that fascism is a leftist movement.
But I guess you believe that “work makes you free,” huh?
Thanks for playing along, I couldn’t have asked for a better demonstration of the vacuousness of reactionary “thought.”
You can’t even figure out that someone can do two different things in their life. Lincoln did a great thing by freeing the slaves. He also was a fascist by being a fascist. He suspended habeas corpus and mass jailed journalists. I don’t even know how to reword that to make it clearer.
That’s because your pseudohistorical nonsense is bunk.
Fascism isn’t just when an authority goes outside the bounds of the law. It’s a very specific reactionary ideology that harkens back to a mythical past and directs blame for imperial failures at minority populations within their control.
Nothing about that describes anything about Abraham Lincoln’s ideology or behavior.
In fact, it makes you look ridiculous and like you don’t know anything about reactionary ideology at all. It’s actually pretty funny if you think about it.
Fascism has two bad parts to it. The totalitarianism and racism. Lincoln was being a totalitarian.
It amazes me how you’re okay with totalitarianism so long as you’re oppressed equally.
