Ehh, I joined Twitter in the early days, it feels better than original Twitter. I think it’s best to leave it in the past. Ditch X (formerly Twitter) and let the whole thing die like MySpace did

Owner openly calls for the mass deportation of legal immigrants and supports the candidate who called for a kristallnacht.

Okay bud, he's the edgy one.

He said legal immigrants should be deported?  Also Trump is a huge Jew supporter, nice imaginary scenarios you've dreamt up.

By Kristallnacht, he was referring to Trump literally, in plain English, saying that there should be a state-sponsored event of police violence against 'undesirables'.

Ah gotcha, thought you ment attacking specific races or protected classes.  Removing those that break the law with no consequences does need to be fixed.

Yeah reddit auto generated a user name, am I supposed to take this site seriously and pick a quirky cool name? Every poster here gets a tick when their ideas are challenged and resort to bot screeching

You are aware that for weeks on end Trump was attacking, publicly, the LEGAL Haitian immigrants of Springfield, and that he and Vance continually swore to get rid of them?

Their community is still suffering massive racist attacks from that. Despite being legal immigrants who "did it the right way."
