No you have to apply for a green card and there are specific requirements.

Correct. Also, I read somewhere that if someone is here illegally and even if they marry a citizen they have to stay out of USA for between 3 - 10 years to be eligible for permanent residency via marriage.

It’s almost like it takes a lot of deception to get them to vote that way.

If you know of a way to deprogram and educate 74 million people in eleven months, now would be the time to let us know.

I’ve thought about this more than you care to know.

Brutal reality: Uncensored images of maimed elementary kids bodies projected into Sunday church across the nation.

I don’t have the solution but I know what problem we need to overcome is: (1) breaking into echo-chambers, and (2) delivering a credible enough message.

Fascism festers in areas of ignorance. Low education, low critical-thinking skills, etc. That’s the conservative way. All of the money Democrats earn must go to these PSAs to discuss basics of critical-thinking and historical events. People are ignorant to history and inside their little bubbles will never otherwise. As people are spammed with basic information about civics, perhaps some things will finally click.

I think about what flipped my rural Appalachia blue collar religious pro-life gun-toting family. It was a perfect storm of the wild west of the internet, my dad having a flashback to his hippy days when Bush invaded Iraq, and my mom realizing the religious history books were bullshit.

Most of these people taking the bait are uninformed and desperate for excitement in their dull lives. Best bet is flipping it on its head and telling them they’re being duped and it’s a conspiracy to control THEM.

Nobody. Nobody changes overnight. No single fact will change a person. It has to be a relentless exposure to reality until they decide to come out from Plato’s Cave and see the light.

Surgical tech here. The single most horrifying thing I’ve seen in my career was the aftermath of a women who needed an abortion and didn’t get one. Very late term. Fetus wound up dying before birth, and the mom didn’t know what to do, so she froze up and didn’t do anything. Several weeks later, she’s septic as fuck, within an inch of death herself, and we end giving her a c-section to deliver a half-rotten baby corpse.

This was before republicans took our Roe vs Wade rights - I never got the backstory on why she didn’t get an abortion, but I’d guess it was some kind of religious conflict.

Shit still haunts me to this day.

Today, that kind of thing is happening to women across the nation because the healthcare they need to prevent it has been made illegal.

I wish we could have filmed the surgery and blasted the internet with it. Show every detail in full 4k. Make them listen to the deafening silence in that room broken only by the sounds of surgical instruments at work because all the staff are just mortified and trying to process what the fuck we’re looking at. Make them look into the mother’s exhausted and utterly defeated eyes pre and post op.

Because ^that is what republicans are advocating for, and it’s pure evil. Calling it “pro life” is one of the cruelest lies I’ve ever heard.

Thanks for taking the time to write this all out. It’s inspirational. A good start to a kind of déprogramming playbook.

The only true answer to this is to find a swingset glitch and GTFO.
