    What? Unfettered migration from mainly Europe to the North American Landmass?
    I would say it was and remains a very dark and destructive happening, but nevertheless it happened, and the conquerors have re jigged history to suggest it wasn't all that bad, although a common trope from Westerns in the first fifty or so years of American cinema was 'the only good injun is a dead injun' or 'here are savages'.
    However it is now hypocrisy writ large that current Americans want to pull up the ladder their forebears took advantage of.
    A kind of evil darkness infesting the North American states.

    With respect to what Trump should do if elected.

    Realpolitik/Real Politics 101:

    1.Take money, resources and power from the opposition’s core base.

    2. Give the money, resources, and power taken from the opposition's core base to your core base.


    Trump should also keep in mind that the RP flunks Real Politics 101 every time it retakes the course. ;-)
    Here is a free text on the subject for them to ignore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_and_Real_Politics

    The reason they ignore this is because they don't really want to win. They are controlled opposition meant to make you think you have a choice.
    In another thread we're talking about what a disaster their response was to the SOTU speech. Why? It should have been an easy smash. Take a simple one.
    The left were jubilantly celebrating a Trans equality bill that could be used to help them cut your minor kids dick off without your knowledge. Grown men may shower with 10 year old girls, washing their lady erections while claiming to be gender fluid and at times, identifying as a 10 year old girl. Girls in sports will be erased as they share a locker room with biological men, who may then cripple or even kill them at their sport, erasing them. All records for given sports would eventually be held by biological men. So much for Title 9.
    That sort of thing would cause a stampede of voters fleeing to the voting booths to vote Republican. Instead, they put on a lady who talked about her family and cry talked. Off putting. I can't finish watching her 17 min. of speech. I have to think they whiffed this one (and the 2022 election) because they WANT to. ITMT, thanks for the link, will check it out.

    The DP has a very large secure voter base that is absolutely dependent on DP secured aid programs for its basic survival needs. The RP always presents itself as a threat to these programs. The RP can manage to win elections by focusing on DP policies, programs, laws and regulations that most Americans find especially repulsive, but as the dependent class expands it has become much harder for the RP to remain viable.

    DP vs. RP

    "The Democrats are the party of government activism, the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, taller, and get the chickweed out of your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then get elected and prove it." P.J. O'Rourke, A Parliament of Whores.

    One of the things we fear from our open border. 10s of millions of people without education, poor, skill-less, unable to speak English. Too many Dems are getting abortions, going gay, getting sterilized and not having kids. The Dems need to replace these people. And then need that dependent class to get to 51% of the vote.

    So the immigration program you support (open borders) was a catastrophe for the natives, but now...you want it again.

    That's very interesting.

    What it SHOULD be is one thing, but we know what it WILL BE:
    1. Revenge
    2. Attack the media
    3. Pull out of NATO
    4. Help Russia win in Ukraine

    But I wouldn't be too sure about his victory, because he lost to Biden already in 2020. Besides, there is a good chance he'll be locked up before Nov

    Again, very interesting. You are acknowledging that your own suggested policy is bad for those who already live there.

    Why not simply admit that what you really want is revenge?

    Is equity a form of revenge?

    lol.... LOL..... LOL....
    What EXACTLY is it that you dislike about Trump?

    His cheaper gas?
    His more secure borders?
    His "no new wars"?
    His Lower inflation?
    His not arming the Taliban?
    His establishment of the Abraham Accords?
    His not weaponizing the IRS, FBI, and DOJ?
    His stronger military?

    What EXACTLY is it that you dislike about Trump?

    How does that achieve equity for American Indians?
