First they came for the illegal immigrants and I did not speak out because I was a legal citizen.
Then they came for the LGBTQ members and I did not speak out because I am straight.
Then they came for the non-whites and I did not speak out because I am white.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
You should amend this because it's not just "illegal" immigrants they are after. The rhetoric around the Haitians in Ohio is clearly directed at any and all immigrants legal or not.
Emphasis on was since they’ll probably just strip it and make people stateless or deport them to another country where they held citizenship. I’m fully aware they’ll go after DACA and temporarily protected people, and I’m sure naturalized citizens who are a shade too brown will have plenty of negative interactions with red state national guardsmen who have no idea what makes someone legal or not.
Didn't they come for the Palestinians first?
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Then they came for the feds, who overstep boundaries and stomp on citizens rights, and I did not speak out because I am a legal citizen.
Then they came for the DEI programs that worsen race relations and cause the working class to fight each other, and I did not speak out because race is not an important factor to who we are an individuals.
Then they came for my processed food and the overzealous pharma companies, and there was no one to stop them, because the people wanted health along with greatness.
Fixed it for ya. :)
Enjoy your mandated magic crystals and bleach injections from the next pandemic when fucking RFK is your FDA commissioner.
You can have this country boss. Germany and the EU (y’know, those dirty, scary SOCIALISTS!!!) actually ban food additives while we are stuck eating sawdust and duck feathers and sugar bread and whatever the fuck else.
Not sure why I’m engaging. You’re clearly not interested in engaging in good faith. Just in case someone sees your comment and thinks there’s an inkling of truth to it, look up the list of EU approved food additives and compare it to ours.
But yes, in case you didn’t know, when they run out of enemies, they’ll come for you too. I hope you agree with every single part of the party’s platform :)
Enjoy fascism!
Lol, you sound like a far left version of a flat-earther.
RFK is 100% against those food additives and processing, so we'll soon be alongside the EU in that regard. Not sure why you think that was a Kamala policy, it certainly was not, lol.
Your argument makes no sense, because the Dems have been in office 12 of the last 16 years and our food has only gotten less healthy over that time. You think that would have changed under Kamala? This issue is literally what the MAGAxMAHA unity is all about. You're literally arguing against a change to our current food, lol.
Michelle Obama tried to make kids lunches healthier and it was literally socialism according to you chodes, yet the right wing judges remove the Chevron deference that allowed regulatory bodies to stop corporations from poisoning us without being constantly sued and that’s perfectly okay.
I’m not sure if you’re young or just stupid, but the right wing toolkit for modifying behavior consists of exclusively deregulation and tax cuts. Which one of those things will RFK use to get companies to make us healthier? Please walk me through it.
Maga wasn't a thing when the Obama's were in office MAGA/MAHA aren't made up of RINOS, which is what "you chodes" must reference too. :)
I'm neither young or stupid, and you can easily look up RFKs policies any time you want. :)
Sorry but are you serious? This is hilarious. How is Trump gonna help with processed food and pharma bullshit? What is he going to do except make things worse for most people and better for rich fucks and himself?
It's the policies he took on when he and RFK united their platforms. Trump won't be doing much of it, but RFK will be.
Wait.. did you think Trump cares about you? You understand that given the choice between saving himself or the country, he always chooses himself right?
He cares about America as a whole, he wants all of us healthy and happy.
You know Obama just took off out of the country today? That might tip us off on who is choosing themselves, just saying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
