Do the Americans not realise that.. like every single one of them going back 4-5 generations are immigrants? Very few native Americans are out there because of immigration.

    Just as most Americans who have moved to other countries refuse to call themselves immigrants, and default to calling themselves "expats", most don't seem to get that, no.

    Too many Americans think "immigrant" is just a synonym for "not white".

    Most Americans realize this, but our government doesn't give a shit what we think right now. Trump and the GOP are not representing us.

    Look at Greenland. 75% of Americans oppose what Trump is doing with that topic. That's disgustingly low, too... But still, he does it anyway.

    This isn't new. Most Americans have no agency. We're just a few notches above slave labor at this phase. All we can do is vote, but the wealthy are influencing those votes all over the country with money and propaganda.

    For every sane person speaking out, there's two to three others that have given up on everything. They'll just watch the news and do what it says. Or, worse, a massive percentage of Americans don't do anything. They don't vote, they just take it because they've given up completely on everything outside the ongoing crisis that is their lives.

    100%, my family only came to this god awful country to escape the Holocaust before it began. I find it absolutely absurd that now we have decided to shut our border. Even crazier is they keep saying they want legal immigration yet they make it impossible to do so.
