I would just add that, in regard to Trump's reasoning on the travel ban and the "it's not against all Muslims, just those countries", I thought one of the most telling lines during his Presidency was the "shithole countries" remark. Not just because he referred to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries", which is obviously terrible, but it was telling for the more forgotten part of that diatribe, where he lamented that "we should have more people from Norway".

It's telling in that the large majority of immigration in the United States has generally happened because those immigrating are trying to escape something.... again, all of my ancestors (who immigrated during various centurites) were trying to escape economic hardship or war. People in Norway? They aren't immigrating because, you know, why the hell would you leave Norway?

At best, it's just a fundamental misreading of the history of immigration in the United States... but I don't give Trump the benefit of the doubt on that.

The Norway comment stuck out to me as well. It reminded me of Lebensborn children where Nazi soldiers would mate with women from Norway since they were considered the most pure to create a new pure Aryan race.

I see no difference between "Foreigners who don't like us" and the modern GOP.  Neither group likes America.  They don't get a pass for being on this soil or winning the birth lottery.  Character matters.

I'm not sure I agree that the modern GOP doesn't like America. They like a certain type of America that was prevalent once but no longer is . What they don't like is the America that's replacing it.

You're right in that the anti-American action of the Republicans belie their empty words.

Let me guess...you think this based on protest your party calls a coup or insurrection for political reasons.

 Democrats want to give Iran ability to have nuclear weapons, don't beleive in law and order, lie to the American people to impeach a POTUS, make false accusations to hurt a SCOTUS candidate, ignore open borders, ignore national security threats so the dont offend our enemy, want to create new voting laws so they will never lose another election, want to seperate people by the color of their skin and this is just a start. This list could go on and on.  

Some of the comments here show just how uniformed some people are. It no wonder this country is deteriorating so fast.

I'm not a party guy. I'm a liberal. Learn the difference.

Party or not, it was not simply a protest. People broke into the Capitol, violently attacking police to do so, and trawled the halls looking for congressional reps to force them to to give the presidency to the man who lost the election. There is video and sworn testimony attesting to all this. that is a fact, and it is not up for debate.

Regardless of whether twenty thousand or whatever people in the crowd might not have unlawfully broken into the Capitol with the intention of forcing the election results to be thrown out, two thousand people did do that, so that's an insurrection, an attempted coup, and any other synonym that might be applied to it.

Yet you want to ban people from countries from immigrating here b/c of their chants (words), and look past that they didn't terrorist(action). 

Do you even try?

Good lord you're delusional.  

Im going to take a break from this socialist oasis for a while.  Your comments and opinions here are so off base and in left field its not even close to being realistic.  One thing I have learned here is the mindset it took to vote for Biden and be willing to sacrifice our country for it.
