They're very specific on who is to blame for the war in Ukraine. I certainly don't reject everything Russian; due to my involvement in the Sinclair Spectrum retro community, I have quite a few Russian acquaintances and don't hold them in any way responsible for the war in Ukraine. Holding Putin responsible is not the same as rejecting everything Russian. What's interesting here is that you're willing to allow Russians into the country if they're fleeing violence, but not Central Americans. AT> LL> Why are you so scared of immigrants?

That is a conversation you were having, in which you said that only leftists referred to returning soldiers as "baby killers." How much have you had to drink?

The leftists are not trying to erase equality; they're trying to expand it. LGBTQ+ rights, same-sex marriage, minority rights, voting rights, police reform -- all of these and more are Democrat-supported expansions of equality, and they are all opposed by a majority of Republicans.
