I am an Immigrant from Africa - No I don't eat dogs and cats, and I like curry

When I immigrated to the USA in 1997 things were different. The GOP stood for national security, good values, and respected people. Now it has descended into a group of mean spirited "playground teenagers" who hate everyone from Taylor Swift to "dog and cat" eating people. Most of this hate and devisiveness is driven by rumor, ignorance, false truths, manipulative and baseless social media, and bigotry. I lament this and wish the GOP would find its way again so that I could vote for it again.
I find the GOP's two-faced social comments deplorable. The fear that the White House will smell like curry is culturally offensive, especially considering that J.D. Vance's wife is Indian in origin as is Nikki Haley. Will Trump ban Vance's wife from cooking curry in the Vice-President's Residence if he wins the election?
It is astounding to note that two of Trump's wife's were foreign born as was his mother. Maybe burek and haggis would be banned from the White House? His anti-immigrant stance if implemented in the past could have led to the potential deportation of his mother and two of his wives.
The mockery of people with accents is precious - have you listened to Melanija Knavs Trump speak English?
I wonder why no one in the GOP thinks his current wife born in Communist Yugoslavia (Slovenia) is a national security threat. By using Trump's logic she should be a communist?
I haven't given up and I remain a proud American citizen. Just to let you know, I have never eaten a dog or a cat, and I love curry.

2 个月Haha, the GOP stands for conservative government. That means more personal liberty, cash in your pocket, lower taxes, fewer regulations, controlled border, lower inflation, eas I er to start and run a business and chose your schools… and I have eaten dogs in all continents… either mustard, sauerkraut, and relish in a bun!
