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…
Yeah that broad language didn’t cover native Americans…
I’m not saying it’s irrelevant like they’re arguing but it’s not as fundamental as your arguing either…
America has broadly worded laws like this not because we’re progressive but because our founders were so fundamentally racist that they literally didn’t think about brown people or women as people and so these laws would never apply to them…
Birthright citizenship is fundamental to “who we are as a nation.” So why do Republicans attack it? ( www.motherjones.com )
