    No one asked you to summarize Republicans’ talking points about the border. I’m surprised you didn’t spell it “boarder” like they do.

      Name one country with a progressive party in power that has opened it’s border to anyone that wants to come in no questions asked.

      You haven’t given an example yet, prove that it’s a Republican/Conservative only talking point.

        You’re asking me to prove that “open borders” is a Republican talking point?

        Fucking seriously?

          I’m asking you to prove that it’s a conservative only policy to not have an open border and that progressive governments open their border to anyone.

          Work on your reading comprehension.

            Ok, I’ll entertain your bad faith exactly once.

            Conservatives pretend that anything to the left of their shitty racist border policies is “open borders,” which is a bullshit mischaracterization. You’re demanding that I defend a strawman that you have constructed.

            Now move the goalposts like you did with your garbage about the popular vote.

              You didn’t provide an example. From the start I’ve been saying that wanting to keep control on the border isn’t a Republican talking point only, you keep saying it is, prove it, show me an example of a border being opened under a left wing government because you keep saying only Republicans (right wing) care about keeping the border secure.

              Hell, even the European Union has open borders within the Union but they control the border with countries outside of it! All parties in Canada agreed that the irregular crossings that were happening needed to stop and there was an intervention, under a Liberal government that holds to power with the story of the left wing party!

                I said once. Keep spewing Republican talking points about the racist Republican policy you’re happy to have adopted.

                  Still waiting on an example to prove that progressives adopt the opposite policies, take your time, do your research, I don’t mind.

                  You’re the one who’s saying that it’s a right wing only policy, the onus of the proof is on you.

                    Sure, just give me an example of any country without any resources that has a space program. I’ll wait. It’s what you’re arguing after all.

                    This is the shit you’re doing. You’re LYING about my position and then demanding that I defend a position I neither stated nor hold. And all because you know you’re spouting Republican talking points because you agree with Republicans’ racist motivations for their shitty border policy.

                    And just like you adopted Republican talking points for your support of racist Republican border policy, the instant the party throws trans people under the bus and shifts into reverse and drive a couple dozen times in the vain hopes that they will peel off a few fascist votes, you’ll be screaming that there are only two genders.
