Hey, I didn't say it first. If that's what those fuckers want, it's what those fuckers get. It's not a slippery slope, it's the same idea as the social contract (well, it is the social contract): if they won't respect the rules then the rules don't apply to them. That might sound like a good thing until you realise the rules protect, as well as bind.
Yes or no:
Are they citizens of the USA?
Obviously yes, for now anyway. That's a question of their legal status, and that doesn't hinge on personal beliefs or views in America. Which is kind of exactly the point I'm making, if you were able to see it.
'the fuck? That's some fascist shit you're spouting
You think "yes, they're citizens of the USA" is fascist shit? You're dumber than I imagined possible. I'll spell it out for you:
If they're not Americans, it's by their own choice.
If you believe there should be rules that bind but do not protect, you know what that makes you?
Oh, I'm not dumb.
That's you. From 6 hours ago. You are talking about stripping citizenship from people, correct?
Yeah, you are
