because republicans are the antithesis of what it means to be american

What could be a more fundamental part of the American Dream than the "tired, poor, huddled masses" trying to give their children a better future through naturalization.

This is just another Republican nail in the coffin of that dream, killing everything that made others envious of America while they shout more and more shrilly that America is still the best country on the planet.

I disagree I think the Republicans are the modern embodiment of the real American Spirit.

Founded on genocide and chattel slavery, grown with more genocide and wars of expansion. White hegemony enforced through laws and lynchings. Redlining, supreme Court approved internment camps, so many wars on poor countries filled with brown people that have done literally nothing to us.

Any progress you feel is a modern affect and not actually reaching the core of who we are as a people…

Then maybe we need to redefine it.

Or maybe we can stop tying our identity to our place of birth.
