> [@contradancer](#): > > Since you have said that you are in my country illegally, here is your chance to tell your side of the story. Why are you here? Why do you stay? You aren’t wanted but I think some of the groups formed to keep you here have convinced you that you are somehow wanted. You are not. If you came here legally, then I would welcome you with open arms. I’m not XT, and as he replied it is his country too now. However, I can say that \*\*contradancer \*\*is tossing Saint Reagan under the bus. This really does show that people like \*\*contradancer \*\*have already gone much farther and into the dark side. It was thanks to Reagan that I had a chance to become a legal resident, of course the big picture reminds me that I would not be in the USA unless Reagan and others had not helped the military thugs in El Salvador to kill mostly priests, teachers, students and labor leaders in El Salvador. My family had connection to the martyred ArchBishop Romero so my family had to leave the old country. If it wasn’t for all the people that death squads and the military killed then this would be funny: it was thanks to very conservative people, that usually never bothered to check if it was a good idea to support extreme neo-fascists in Latin America, that I became a resident back in the 80’s and then eventually a citizen of the USA. Thanks to my experiences I have found out that many of the ones that are on the very conservative side, supporting the reckless use of force in other countries, are also the same ones that are nativists or racists too. What it is encouraging is that I can see here that many SDMB conservatives like **XT, Shodan, watchwolf49** , and even \*\*Scylla \*\*are noticing how poisonous Trump and his supporters are to the Republicans. Of course, I have to tell you guys that me and many on the left side of things did warn you many times before about what the reliance and the constant “looking away” from what the nativists, racists and deniers of science were doing to the GOP was going to lead. That is one reason why we are now in this situation. By not looking carefully or by not constantly telling in no uncertain terms to the fringe that they were not welcomed in the party is that we are looking at the abyss now, it is fortunate that the polls and history is telling us that Trump is not likely to win, but the supporters of Trump are keeping his lead longer than it was supposed to be, meaning that it will hurt the GOP a lot before his run is over. Fine with me, but really guys, we do need a more reasonable Republican party and we also need your help to make it so. We really have to tell the pendejos 🙂 to crawl under the rocks they came from. ---

Unfortunately my vote is basically meaningless. The way this state has gone over the last few decades it would be a miracle for the state to go republican. I don’t like the fact that my state is taken for granted at the polls but at least it cuts down on the commercials. Despite that there would be a very good chance for me to vote republican in any given election I would never vote for Trump. Like 'em or hate 'em other candidates at least attempt to have policies. I don’t know if we have ever had a candidate who’s strategy consisted of off the cuff I’ll make it up as I go along. His lack of thought and knowledge of foreign affairs, the basic workings of government, the constitution and just how shit really works is astounding. ---

> [@Lobohan](#): > > I’m not saying it’s not her right to be a sell her vagina to the highest bidder. I’m saying that the family values set should find that disagreeable. The Family Values set wants to go back to “traditional” marriage as defined by the Bible, which literally is selling a vagina to the highest bidder. The only difference is that it’s the parents’ job, not the woman’s herself. ---

> [@XT](#): > > How do you think your ancestors got here, pendejo? Did they just magically arrive? Unless you are a Native American they came here the same way mine did. Why am I here? Because this is my country now, even though I wasn’t born here. How did a dirty illegal like me get here? Because my dad, born in Mexico, served in the US military doing that Vietnam dust up. You might have heard of it. That you don’t want me or my kind is militantly dis-interesting to me…you are a racist fuck and probably have the IQ of a particularly stupid turnip. Folks like you make me sick. You are not real Americans, you are racist Nazis who don’t love, respect or even UNDERSTAND this country. You don’t know it’s history, can’t comprehend why it’s great or why people want to come here. Instead, your small mind can only wrap around the idea that it’s dirty furriners who are taking the country down…instead of the reality, that it’s small minded fucks like you doing it. It was small minded fucks like you who turned water hoses on black children and unleashed dogs against them during the 50’s. Fucks like you who fought against Civil Rights to protect your stupid and evil privileges. And fucks like you who continue to add a sour note to this country, bringing us all down and lowering this country from the greatness it could have. > > Happily, this is a free country, even for pendejo fuckheads such as you, and even such as you are able to express your racists tripe because of the freedoms won for you at great cost of people of all races and creeds. Now, why don’t you go and crawl back under whatever rock (or ass cheeks) you squeezed out of and do us all a favor? Mic Drop…🆒 ---
