Sooo... I posted here last night, so I don't feel AS convicted..
...but I see y'all, & your question is valid: WHY are Twitter people ('cause I won't even call it that goofy new name) running back here?
We non-Nazis consider this a safehaven even while we still fight it out over there as habit.

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.
If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.
Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there?
Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff."
You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

This isn't entirely right -- as people in the replies noted, Sen. Mike Lee didn't ignore the assassinations, he just told jokes about it online and ludicrously blamed the far left.

New from me — There’s been a lot of ink spilled since Charlie Kirk's murder about the "right" way to honor his death. Getting liberals fired from their jobs and forcing devoted civil servants to resign in disgust couldn’t be a more fitting tribute to his life.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.
Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?
My own colleagues are silent.
