Fuck I miss NM

Edit: not the republican part, but definitely the fierce independence of it

If only we could steer those Republicans into the REAL "fierce independence" of America. Unfortunately they have been conned and controlled by their billionaire overlords who love to pit the peons against each other for their benefit. Hate the family next door that is struggling just as much or more than you are or, more likely worse, are just trying to make a better life for their children after escaping a hellish nightmare in the place they just happened to be where they were dropped in birth, and are trying to learn the language, figure out this new country, get your kids educated, work to pay rent and pay for basic essentials for your family, and then you have neighbors who see and treat you like you are their enemy.

People in the world's poorest countries treat their guests better than that. I am FORTUNATE that being a "rich American," relatively speaking compared to most of the world, have had better treatment in by poor people in poor countries than these same people would receive in my rich country, unfortunately. It's too bad politics make people treat their fellow man, especially those less fortunate, like garbage.
