Not a trigger, just an interesting observation.
The US lives in a state of perpetual fear about seemingly everything. You highlighting “one was an illegal alien”, shows that. You have been convinced anyone from a country that doesn’t speak English as a first language, especially Muslim, are inherently dangerous. That’s manipulation to serve a Rightwing agenda pushed by a Rightwing anti immigration media.
The stats don’t support this view. But, that same media knows the vast majority won’t check it out.
Guns have created this need to shoot to kill intruders. You think they all have them. Americans seem terrified, if you’re a yank, this is exactly the Facist playbook, we know over here in Europe. Fear the other, demonise and dehumanise him, blame him, persecute him, he deserves it.
The irony is the amount of self proclaimed Christian’s who are balls deep in this. When their guy would welcome them. If he came back, he would again be crucified, this time for being too woke and not a fan of guns.
We will have four years of said political agenda go about it. And, I will wager, there will be fuck all Christian about it.
