13. Oh, come on. Disagree, but reread my first sentence

It's my main point.

You show that you really haven't read my point about the author, Marché when you bring up the name Garcia. Where you got the name Garcia, is only what you derived from Marché's far from clear eyed assessment of the 278 kidnapped to El Salvador less than a month ago.
It defies logic that the monthly border crosser, Marché, bases his definition of America on

after a series of arbitrary detentions, deportations to foreign jails without due process and hundreds of valid visas pulled or voided
when at worst, the anti-immigrant vote remains only 23% of America.
Moreover, Marché doesn't even grant that the more destructive DOGE actions of this lawless president are not even the fault of most of that 23% who voted for him. Even in hindsight. If he'd paid as much attention to the rest of American news as his own border crossing fears, he'd acknowledge that the 23% had no clue that "tech support" oligarch's DOGE boyz would be add-ons who would hurt them and/or their families.

Overall, any fair writer and news source knows that Americans who didn't vote for Trump make up the vast majority of the American population.

When a news source gives a platform to anyone who writes "the America I loved is gone" because of trump injustices of the last 2 months, both the news source and writer show they
-- neither knew the real America (millions of whom have held over 1,000 protests in the last 30 days)
-- nor loved the real Americans that ARE the real America. The 77%.

Joe Biden has said more than once that America is an idea. But. Those who love America as an idea, yet do not love the Americans who make that idea real, do not Real-ly love America. Joe Biden loved real Americans and showed it. Right now real America might be down but it's not out. If Stephen "America I loved is gone" Marché throws out the real baby with his own bath water idea, then the real America made of real Americans is better off sticking with the Biden idea of America. Not Stephen Marché's.

23% of Americans are part of the problem. 77% of Americans are part of the solution.
