  1. Too many cultures antithetical to ours wind up in the US b’cause “diversity makes us stronger”.

    Just consider a few…. marriage between cousins, FGM, a girl of 12 is considered sexually mature, bats/rats/cats as a delicacy…. and then you have these 3 nut jobs.

    They’re no more advanced than tribes of the Amazon who’ve had no contact with the outside world.

Believing a spider bite will turn you into Spider Man isn’t much different than believing a mask will protect you from a global plandemic or that climate change is going to kill us all in ten years.
