You gotta remember, in America we're not enemies, we're friends, we're neighbors."
Then come over here and tell that to some of my neighbors who would want me dead if they knew certain things about me.

This quote comes to mind:
Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.
― Naomi Shulman
It's hard to have any sympathy for people who have spent their lives making it abundantly clear they'd kill you if they had the chance.
In a nation where homes are how we expand our portfolio and not where we make our community, you are a danger to the investment.
\s
I'd probably want you dead too if I knew you were a sentient squirrel capable of time travel that wasn't actively using it's power to change our present for the better.
It’s not an accusation. The word you are looking for is observation.
Come on! A newspaper should hire people with better vocabularies!
oh man you hit the nail on the head. using accuse for something the person does constantly and there is no doubt about it. ugh.
But when it comes from someone whose politics align with the paper they’ll just say it, it’s a small and effective rhetorical manipulation I’ve seen everywhere thanks to ground.news
How much do you pay for ground news I keep getting advertised it on youtube and ehh I guess it might be interesting
I got a discount via some more news so $60 for a year
How do you tell Trump is lying?
spoiler
His mouth is moving.
Tip of his ear is missing?
Thank you.
