"Not really, the benefits of marriage are not comparable to the benefits of citizenship."

That still doesn't really address the issue.
How does the existence of other citizens diminish the value of your citizenry?
Are citizens valued due to their physical scarcity, like Gold and Bitcoin and Picassos?

"They're convinced everything is rigged against them, they have no future, they count on failing, and all they have left is criticism, hatred, and disdain for fellow Americans."

Eberly can't see how these people have been groomed by right-wing media to become grist for the fascist mill.

"We're gonna need a bigger camp."

"They're convinced everything is rigged against them, they have no future, they count on failing, and all they have left is criticism, hatred, and disdain for fellow Americans."

Still talking about Farmers?

"Full citizenship should have a qualification other than jumping a fence."

For example, it should be limited to Whites.
We get it.

"For one thing, another's marriage does not cost me money."

Neither does another citizen.
Neither does a legal immigrant.
Neither does an undocumented immigrant.

US GDP is expected to be reduced by 1%, thanks to Trump's mass deportations.
Look like "things that cost you money" is just one of many topics you didn't spend any time or effort learning!

New York (CNN) " President Donald Trump has promised to unleash an economic boom that will turbocharge growth, fatten paychecks and chip away at America's mountain of debt.

However, a new analysis from Trump's alma mater suggests that his immigration crackdown " a centerpiece of his second term " could do the exact opposite.

"Once Congress began ceding all of its powers to the bureaucracy we ceased having a truly representative government."

So dumb.

It's like saying once Steve Jobs started delegating tasks to department heads, Apple shareholders ceased having any representation at the Company.

Congress is literally tasked with creating the bureaucracy necessary to do things like Promote the General Welfare and Provide for the Common Defense.

"Try looking up some legal decisions if you want a debate."

"Americans were ready for a female POTUS in 2016."

Valid point.

'Send your wife, kids back to India!'

Gonna be an amazingly racist, nasty 2028 Republican Primary, assuming the United States still exists!

The second strike is a Democrat Hoax!

"Harris would have been status quo. Nothing for me beyond a continuation of what was already working pretty well."

"I think you'd find a lot of folks on the left would strongly disagree with you."

Why?

Harris was a vote for four more years that were not much different from Biden, which is why Eberly voted for Harris, and not the guy who promised to tear it all down.

Republicans voted to burn it all down rather than accept that Business As Usual can still be considered Business A usual under a Woman President.

"Woman President" and "Business As Usual" are fundamentally incompatible, to Republicans.

Just like having a Black President could not possibly be considered Business as Usual.

Republicans have been doing everything they can to destroy societal norms aka Business As Usual since 2009.

"Some may agree that compulsory service is beneficial to society."

Yes, most any society would benefit from free labor and forced indoctrination, though I suppose it does depend on what services are demanded and what ideology is instilled.

Sending MSgt to Vietnam was not in fact beneficial to society, for example. It cost millions of dollars for basically nothing in return.

"white people are considered sub-human slaves."

Golly, whites inferior? Not even M. Knight Shamalayan could come up with a twist like that!

If citizenship is too freely assumed, it becomes cheap. Worth less.

Such ---------.

That's like saying if we let the gays get married, it diminishes the value of straight marriage.

"Can you understand that, aside the facetious movie reference, there is a principle of applying citizen status to those who contribute?"

Yes, I'm aware of the principles of fascism.

You're the one struggling to identify them as such.

"Is the accusation of being gay supposed to offend me?"

I dunno. Have you grown up since 2016, when Hillary Clinton calling you Deplorable offended you?

WTF why are you so pig ignorant?

We all know why, Eberly.

We just can't imagine you're happy living your life this way.

Don't read too much into it

I didn't. I read it at face value. I simply understood what I was reading.

"and they have
no claim to representation in Congress or the state legislatures. 35"

Undocumented people are enumerated by the Census, and Congressional representation is apportioned according to number of people in a State. Thus, illegal immigrants do in fact have representation in Congress. Note that Trump issued an Executive Order for the Census Bureau to stop counting undocumented citizens in 2020, and he did it again this year.

So, uh, you're just drinking the Fascist Kool-Aid.

"called a good portion of the country deplorables?"

Sticks and Stones may break your bones, but words weren't supposed to hurt you, you stupid little prancing ------.
What happened to you? You're a broken man. You know that, right?

Pretty sure at this point most of the Left hates the right and vice versa pretty equally.

Fact is, only one party is sending people to camps.
You spend too much time wallowing in your own stupid feelings.

Maybe someday facts will matter to you more than your feelings.
But I don't think that day will ever come for you.
You don't know how.

"Snoofy, which political candidate called a good portion of the country deplorables?"

That was Hillary Clinton. And she was right. Take a look around. The Deplorables are wearing ICE uniforms.

You don't think Welfare Queens are deplorables? How about Illegal Immigrants?

How about Trans people, and people who think Trans people should be able to use whichever bathroom they please? That's Deplorable to millions of Americans, right?
