"A "criminal" means someone that has been convicted of a crime in a court of law."
Actually, the legal definition I see is "A criminal is someone who has violated the law, either through an act or omission, and is subject to legal prosecution." But, we all know definitions vary based on where you find it so I wouldn't bet on any of them.
"Republicans have held these attitudes towards the poor since Nixon."
The fact liberals have such a hard time using good logic is astounding. When multiple liberal states have had liberal politicians create laws that disadvantage the homeless, basically moving them around like rats, your argument is invalid. Liberal states have actually created harsher laws than Con states when it comes to the poor, look it up. It's because the rich liberals in those states do everything they can to ensure homeless NIMBY away from their location. Sure, Reps aren't innocent because their laws are basically to just remove the homeless to somewhere else, which is also a nonsolution. But your illogical description of Reps for not liking homeless has no basis in reality and it never has. If you believe otherwise, then you have to accept that your argument also applies to liberals beyond any contestation.
"I'd like to ask BOAZ; why all the animosity toward immigrants when we all know we are descndents of immigrants?"
Fair enough and I'll give a rebuttal (not sure if Boaz already has). Now let me ask you, how come when people started asking liberals to take in illegal immigrants to get rid of the stress on the government they balked and came up with all kinds of reasons? Using your logic, one could easily also incorrectly then ask you why all the animosity toward immigrants. How come when illegals get shipped to liberal playgrounds like Martha's then liberals get mad about it and whine and cry? How come this happens in multiple "sanctuary" locations. And you can't say it's because they weren't prepared...because then you are parroting Reps entire issue with illegal immigrants in the first place.
It truly only takes a tiny amount of thought to not be a hypocrite. It takes a little more effort to be objective. But I promise you that doing both will make your life so much more fulfilling and allow you to understand all sides to a problem and stop thinking your narrative is the only right one.
It is still so sad to watch partisan sheep who have been groomed by their masters be so hypocritical and not even care (statement applies to both sides). The stock market had bigger temporary declines under Biden than Trump and liberals said nothing except excuses as to why it's not a bad thing or not his fault, but a temporary decline under Trump means the end of the world. Under Biden, there were months with job losses and liberals said nothing except excuses as to why it's not a bad thing or not his fault, but a month with job losses under Trump means the end of the world.
The fact this never ends just illustrates how successful institutional political leaders have been in their narratives.
