Lolbertarian Cato Institute going hard with the open borders propaganda

Seems like every day they're popping up in my feed with propaganda like this. Cato LOVES Massie and Rand. And they are regularly cited by Democrats

Of course illegals are less are incarcerated because they never show up for court. When caught, they bail out or in liberal areas let them do cashless bail and that's the last anyone sees of them.

When you consider that, the only one's that go to prison are a few that stay, and the one's with such serious charges they can't bail out, it tells you just how bad it really is.

True, also black crime is hard to top. They inflate America's crime rates bigly

Yep, and you'll also find that when it comes to most white criminals, they are people who associate with black people.

Fact is, that if you take black people out of the picture, the US crime rate would be similar to the Scandinavian nations before they were overrun by migrants.

Another aspect is that illegals are notorious for crimes such as fraud, identity theft, driving without a DL or without insurance. If you or I were to get in a wreck and our insurance wouldn't cover all of the damage, we would be paying the rest of our lives possibly, but the immigrant, he will just go back home and never pay a dime. Just like they do with medical debt.

They forgot to mention that deported illegals have a 0% incarceration rate.

Don't forget the activist judges who drop charges for illegals also.

Imagine the level of propaganda it must take to get even legit ratards to accept that argument??

Hey guys, Trump bombed a country I cant find on a map, dont even know the name of their capital city, cant name a single person from their country??

But because of that, Im voting for the person whos promising to put me in jail if I disagree with my 10 year old daughter having her breast tissue removed or my 12 year son being chemically castrated while letting in ten of millions 3rd people for the sole purpose to hunt my family down.

One must be clinically insane to choose Iranian Mullahs > American borders/their own kids.

Youre correct, I didnt see American (R) voters choosing Iranians mullahs over open borders/removing the 2nd amendment/being able to stop the State from chemically castrating their children.

Imagine calling the voters who choose the latter over Iranian mullahs...the ratard??

See you're just proving my point. Just because they don't want to go to war with Iran doesn't mean they support Iran. Sorry this is so hard for you, I guess that's why you're going to lose what was a sure thing. All you had to do is not punch yourself in the dick but that was setting the bar just a little too high.

Thats not true, a very sizable % of the electorate and nearly the entirely of legacy media, minus fox, 100% supports Iran.

Im just not going to call voters who are being forced to choose dead Ayatollahs over their kids being transitioned and ending American borders/sovereignty, retards.

You can go ahead and call them retards, but the dem take over is going to happen because of this war. Maybe take some responsibility for what you've caused? I know that's not as fun as calling people names, but still

I opposed this war because I knew it would result in a dem takeover. That means I support Iran? I'm fascinated by this idea that if I don't want open borders tranny loving groomers in control of the federal government that means I support Iran. Trump cult logic is very strange.

I mean really. Why not just wait until after the midterms for your gay war? Spend 2 years cracking down on immigration, arresting corrupt democrats, deporting illegals. Then after dominating the midterms do whatever you want. This is so awful to you that it means I love Iran? Fucking lol. Thank you for the clown show :)

I apologize, I didnt know you identify as, they?? Damn, how long have I been gone?? :)

Because Im looking over my posts and theres two things I can't seem find, maybe you can help me out??

1) Me saying you support Iran, even though you've reposted Iranian propaganda, and again, if you identify as, They, I apologize and didnt mean to lump you in with the media/left who 100% support Iran.

2) Me saying I support this war.

RIKTER I like you boyo but I think you're missing the point. We're pissed at Trump because we know what this is going to lead to. Instead of laser focusing on immigration and the economy, he's giving John McCain's corpse his eternal wet dream instead. Iran is going to dominate the administration's agenda and the working class base which has propelled the GOP to wins recently, who are also not party-loyal, prioritize the economy and immigration right now. They're going to be dejected over this Dubya chit and not be interested in voting. I don't think many of them are going to be voting Dem, but they are just going to not turn out if the choice is between John McCain neocon bs and woke Dem bs.

Basically, Trump himself is going to guarantee turnout for the Democrats base, no matter how much of a mess they think their own party is, and the Iran war and Trump's 180 on the Epstein files have caused the new GOP working class base to feel dejected and they will have turnout issues. This will by default lead to a Dem wave.

Should we bombing Iran, fukk no!

Let's wait and see how it plays out before we choose the platform of 30 million illegals and top surgery/chemical castration for our 9 year old sons.

Thats my entire position.

Remember, on day 1 the propaganda machine already declared an Iran win and an American loss, which apparently has been eaten up by anyone right of center.

I mean I agree I'm not going to start voting for Democrats over this, but I kind of get why people who voted Trump/GOP would be disinterested now and no turn out.

If Trump decides that appeasing John McCain's corpse (which will inevitably give Democrats a huge midterm win and probably 2028 too) is more important than laser focusing on stopping 30 million illegals and chemical castration, then these voters probably feel that it's over. Trump is basically telling them that the Iran war > their domestic interests, so what's the point really? Going to war with Iran will guarantee the return of open borders so I am sure a lot of these voters are at a "fuk all of you" point.

Never said that but he's guaranteeing that Democrats win elections with this war which will inevitably give us a return to open borders, so there's that.

Agreed but getting us into yet another middle eastern quagmire is going to make it incredibly difficult for Vance to actually beat a Dem in 2028

Republicans don't understand that if they want to win elections they have to increase their supporters, not drive people away. It's sad but what can you do.

INB4 Trumps fault.
Trump, and the GOP in general, has been telling people like me that have supported him for literally a decade to fuck off. If you don't want to hold your party accountable when it fucks up like this you're going to wind up with open borders. If you can't see the connection that is unfortunate. Society will just have to wait for the boomer generation to die off to have a shot at rationality.

Don't worry, you don't have to wait for dems to give the country to the invaders :)



Whatever you do don't blame Trump for this or you'll have a bunch of geriatric boomers calling you a libtard and a panican. Trump can do no wrong!
