I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

JD Vance and Donald Trump aren't racist. What they are doing is about politics. (sh.itjust.works)

I genuinely don't believe that they are racist.

JD Vance is married to an Indian woman. He worked in Silicon Valley surrounded by Asians. Donald Trump loves to do business with arabs.

Expelling people including students and legal residents
Removing citizenship from US citizens
Ending birth right citizenship

They systematically want to reduce the number of non-white people in the United States.

But it has nothing to do with racism. It's about politics.

Who votes for the US Democratic ? A coalition made up atheists, jews, muslims, asians, black people, feminists, scientists, environmentalists, and labor unions. The job of most candidates is to ensure this coalition doesn't tear itself apart.

Who votes for the US Republican Party? Overwhelmingly, it's white christian people. It's their core base. Sure, you have a bunch of a cubans here and there, but overwhelmingly, the core base is white and christian.

JD Vance and Donald Trump are afraid that a changing american demographic means the US Republican Party may lose power. The election of Trump happened because he was able to mobilize the core base and democrats failed to mobilized their coalition.

By reducing the number of non-whites, Donald Trump and JD Vance want to save the Republican Party. This is what their extreme immigration actions are ultimately about. This is why they want to bring white people from South Africa.

It has nothing to do with racism. It's politics.
