> We have ethnic cleansing at home

We really do not. And if we want to keep it that way, blurring the lines with this term is something we absolutely should not do like this.

  • But it is being proposed. What do you think Elon is doing when he tweets support for remigration (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration), which is literally ethnic cleansing? Or when the DHS posts memes in public proposing to deport 100 million people (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dhs-100-million-deportations-...)? These are acts of ethnic cleansing being normalized before it actually happens. Let’s not ignore it. Instead, let’s vote out every single GOP politician that supports this or stays silent about it.

  • How well would you say it has been working out so far, to steelman Republican policies and attempt to find common ground and compromise? Personally I was doing so up until ~June of 2020 and all I really got for it was a lot of grief with still no recognition that I understand and care about many of the things they claim to care about. And society wide? Well, here we are.

    We really do, and if we want not to, we need to address it rather than denying it.

      What are we doing that constitutes the mass expulsion and killing of an ethnic or religious group in America?
