Even with the average "Look at the bright side" or "glass half full" types out there. There is NOTHING cool about being taken away from your [BLEEP] homeland and put to work, torture, rape and death to benefit the wealth of someone else. It was sweat labor at the end of the day.

Saying they learned some trade, like being a Blacksmith, or, getting a basic education in English? Yeah, really fair [BLEEP] trade off there I guess. I get taken miles away from my land, perhaps my family, get to witness my daughters getting raped, my son's getting whipped or in some crazy, crazy cases. Enforced incest is made into a spectacle, etc. Yeah, really, REALLY awesome trade off there.

I am sorry, man, but, I can respect what DeSantis did during covid for this state. I can respect his aim of concerns with Disney and some of the immigration stuff. I get it. I get all of that. Especially the school stuff. But, he needs to slow the hell down and dial it back a bit. Because, at this point? He's really doing Trump more favors than he realizes. People still love Trump at the end of the day. Even Rogan pointed it out. How much the crowd cheered for him recently in Florida while Rogan was present there. He said it was bone chilling.
