    For republicans, ‘fear’ is their identity, and republicans love playing identity politics with it. They make up threats where there is none. My father for example doesn’t want lax immigration in case “someone comes over here with a bomb”. oh ok pops.

      I have a co-worker who doesn’t want immigrants because she thinks they’re all unvaccinated and thus spreaders of disease. She is also anti-vax.
