  • I have a take no one else has talked about. I think much of the recent hate is down to there being too many damned people, and suddenly it seems a lot of them are brown.

    Young me honestly wasn’t quite sure what Hispanic meant because there weren’t any around. LOL, imagine my culture shock when I moved to Chicago! Then I came down to Florida, and once again, no Hispanics. They were so rare it was kinda freaky. Then Hurricane Ivan flattened us, loads of immigrants showed up to build and never left.

    Now people are looking around and seeing America on the first downward trajectory since the Great Depression. They’re casting about to lay blame. Know what’s different? Well lookee here, millions of new brown people that weren’t here before!

    I don’t think liberals understand just how many immigrants came across the southern border in the last 20 years. When I brought up that there was indeed a crisis at the border during the Biden admin, I got beat up here and on reddit. Y’all can stick your fingers in your collective ear, but shitloads of people were piling up to get it. It was a humanitarian crisis.

    Not saying the hate is logical, but I can at least understand where it’s coming from. It’s a little more nuanced that screaming RACIST at everyone.




  • They’re fruits, but I’m betting “replica firearms” means “black powder”. Yes, they can certainly be deadly, but my god, if you’re never used black power, it’s a monster pain in the ass. I can get a total of 3 or 4 shots off, reloading each time of course, and the barrel is too filthy to shove the next ball in.

    BP guns are such a joke, even felonious Americans can own them, and most states allow them to be shipped straight to your porch. I have never heard of a crime being committed with one. LOL, it’s like California banning modern .50cal guns. Has anyone in the history of ever used a .50BMG to crime?! OK, except Israel.
