Memo to the media:

Stop letting politicians get away with calling asylum seekers "illegal immigrants" or saying they're not coming to this country "the right way." Seeking asylum is legal. Presenting themselves at the border & requesting asylum is "the right way" to seek asylum.

@rbreich Addendum: Stop calling people who lie about elections without evidence or in spite of evidence "election deniers." They are liars.

@droidengineer They are also, in many cases, "anti-Constitutionalists"!

@Ddnarich You bring up something important here and I would expand on it. They are "anti-" lots of things; it is a pillar of their ideology. It's a reflection of their victimhood and aggrieved politics framing it as if they are "fighting back/against" <insert anything here>. They're not stealing an election, they are fighting back against a rigged system. They're not hate-filled homophobes, they're fighting against "grooming" children.

Who could be against that, you woke bastard!*

@droidengineer I think that is a very good observation! (Sorry I took so long to respond...been off of social media lately with lots to do around the holidays and New Year's) (Happy New Year to you!).

@Ddnarich Heya! No problem! Life gets in the way of social media, and frankly, I think that's the way it should work! Hope you had a good holiday and New Years!
