There are plenty of people as described but there are also plenty of rubes going along with it. Plenty of peer pressure, plenty who fall for save the children shit who otherwise mean well.
I just had some blood work done a couple days ago and the nice woman and I talked about the aftermath of Helene. We talked about how horrible it was, how similar our geography was to the worst affected areas. She was genuinely upset and said if she made more money she'd be donating to the victims. I brought up that FEMA said that Helene has fucked their budget up. She told me that it would have been fine if they hadn't spent all that money on those immigrants.
I may think this person is stupid, but I don't believe she is malicious.
Then you would be a fool.
Cause shes just as malicious as the rest of them, If she wasnt she wouldnt be spouting that fucking racist nonsense.
You are just fooled by a cute face and little charade personality she puts on until she let her mask slip.
Believe me there was no cute face involved but mine. And it's more chiseled handsome than cute anyway.
She definitely changed the subject as soon as I said neutrally that most immigrants are here legally.
