Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

@Strandjunker

It's all of us. We all feel like that.

@Strandjunker

I would rather work with those guys, than the racist, homophobes I have to put up with now.

@Strandjunker yeah me too. It’s not even a little bit close

@Strandjunker +9001%

At least that family will be considerate, not try to hatecrime me or my mutuals and be a net positive to society and community instead of a two-legged noise complaint.

@Strandjunker pour nous tous, le voisin américain devient incombrant....
@peloch @Strandjunker Pour certains, plus près de la frontière, il l'est depuis longtemps...

@Strandjunker I have MAGAt neighbors. Let me just say that for all they may claim things like having immigrants may supposedly scare them about violence, the MAGAt neighbors are the ones out there practicing with their guns all the time with hopes to someday get to murder people they don't know, waking me up and making me worry that even if they don't suddenly turn violent a stray bullet could come this way or something.

(Yeah, I wouldn't dare call police. They're MAGAts too.)

@nazokiyoubinbou @Strandjunker sorry to hear that. Sending solidarity.
@HunterAnton @Strandjunker Thanks, much appreciation.
@Strandjunker better fashion sense, better food. Better community
@Strandjunker Wouldn't it be nice if we could do that, all across the USA, wouldn't it be nice if we could do that, each and every single one of us today, You know it would make it that much better. if we could just bring all of us together, wouldn't it be nice?

@Strandjunker Only yesterday, I said I'd rather have a building full of undocumented immigrant families than the rich, egocentric, blowhard white men living here now. We'd have a closer community, friendlier meetings and way better parties.
@Strandjunker One of those is one of my neighbors and the other is my other neighbor
@Strandjunker to be fair, those aren't the only options, and part of the problem that we're dealing with as a society is that the dominant form of the mass media (Fox News etc.) portray those two options as the only available options.
@Strandjunker definitely not just you!
@Strandjunker I think anyone that all of us agree with this world view.
@Strandjunker I'd rather have an entire planet of undocumented immigrants and trans everybodies than any fascists
@dmikalova @Strandjunker I mean if you do that the human race will be extinct in a generation but otherwise right on.
@xz25 @Strandjunker trans people aren't de facto infertile... neither are immigrants

@GottaLaff @Strandjunker One of my semi-irrational fears is dying from an accidental firearms discharge when one of my right-wing nutjob neighbors accidentally fires off a shot while cleaning their gun.

So yeah. There are precious few people I'd less like to have as neighbors than flag-crazy conservatives.

@Strandjunker
I'd agree with you, but then I wouldn't have a reasonable outlet for my pyromaniac tendencies.
@Strandjunker Yes! Any day of any week, anytime, anywhere.

@Strandjunker

it's not just you
it's everyone who still can think sanely

@Strandjunker Same. I can't comprehend how people get their panties in a wad about any of this. Just let people live their own lives ffs.
@Strandjunker Immigrants commit less crime than native-born Americans. So it makes sense why you would.
@Strandjunker and... I'd rather do business with them, share a meal, let my (imaginary) kids play with theirs, and give them a hand carrying a sofa up the stairs.
@Strandjunker 👍🏼👍🏿👌🏻
@Strandjunker a no brainer 🦾
@Strandjunker I want a whole block around me of that!
@Strandjunker It's not just you. :-)

@Strandjunker media too.

Reading all these comments, sounds like we could start a city.

@Strandjunker Sorry. I can only boost once.
