    Okay I have an idea to fix this agree they are Concentration Camps, let migrants know all about them and maybe they will stop trying to come here we clearly need to make these places as bad as possible while meeting the bare bones standards of care.

    when AOC used the hash tag Never Again in that same tweet which #Never Again refers to the holocaust so it is undeniable She was making the equivalence to the Nazi concentration camps
    So don't play stupid and try to claim she wasn't necessarily referring to the Nazi concentration camps

    so are you denying the Holocaust happened that over 6 million Jews weren't systematically murdered by the Nazi which 3.2 million were gassed and burned in ovens in concentration camps?
    and people try to claim liberals like your self aren't anti-Semitic

    yet AOC used the hash tag Never Again which is about the Holocaust so she was undeniably referring to Nazi concentration camps not concentration camps in general

    Agreed.

    It was blatantly obvious that she was going for the 'Nazi death camp' connection.

    They don’t think they have a right to our country not at all. Blame our past selves. The US was considered the beacon of hope. When people all around the world who suffer, who are tortured mentally and physically in unspeakable ways have no thoughts of surviving the US was there. We and our allies were the only hope.

    We don’t need open borders not at all but imagine a world where that was possible.

    We always pressure regime change to strengthen foreign governments but we never solve the problem because we only want resources of that country. Help the people and they will grow their country and stay home. We rebuilt Iraq at our expense but we rather spend millions taking poor care of people who are scared about living everyday no matter where they go now. We can use that same effort to insure they can have better lives in their home countries and we will be admired for it. Not as a government but as a people

    Lol

    What does it matter we are treating humans whose only crime was to step foot and sometimes not in the the US like the beginning stages of the Nazi regime. We don’t have death camps but wait until the money dries up and just see how many children and adults die of unspeakable pain. We don’t treat our inmates as poor yet we treat them poorly. If our jails give our citizens beds and soap then that is what we give all our prisoners

    Geez where have you been, it's a well known fact liberalism/socialism is predominately being taught in schools and universities across the country while conservative speech is being silenced.

    No conservative education is being advanced. Charter schools and private schools. What do you think Ole Betsy has been doing.

    I realize it's difficult to get REAL unbiased news anymore but I urge you to do some research bc I think you'll find liberal brainwashing is definitely happening to kids and it's eye opening and disturbing. They're coming home from school and telling their parents what's happening...check it out.

    One of the reasons they stopped teaching civics in school. It is dangerous to the progressive agenda if children are taught how this country works.

    Kids are on their smartphones and iPads. Brainwashing? lol . And why does everything you deem as wrong is liberal? What happened to parenting. Life will give a child multiple sources if the ones they don’t believe are yours that sounds like a you problem.

    The "people" are those who refuse to work, have thousands in student debt, made poor life decisions, or have otherwise ****ed up in life and need a bailout for their bad decisions.

    Or in other words.. those easily influenced if you dangle free **** in their face.

    If you work hard and become successful, those freebies look less and less enticing.

    This may come as a shock to you but there were camps all over even in Poland and Austria...there were about ten death camps. Did you really think it was one of them and one corpse? Unbelievable I guess Eisenhower knew what he was talking about when he said there would be people who deny the holocaust

    Thank you, AOC is one of the most articulate members of Congress. By far the most if you compare her only to Republicans

    It is probably a well know fact for people who don't know what liberalism or socialism is and use right-wing memes of victimization in order to propagate the myths of conservatism.

    "First, the Reason-Rupe poll also found college-age Americans to be much more supportive of a free market system than a government-managed economy, at 72 vs. 49 percent favorable, respectively. This suggests that the data on positive views of socialism may be more about their views of, say, Sweden than of the former Soviet Union.

    A healthy body of research also suggests that -- contrary to popular belief -- students are not indoctrinated by their professors, liberal or conservative. And much of that research doesn't dispute that professors may be to the left of American society -- the disagreement is about the alleged indoctrination.

    Joshua M. Dunn Sr., an associate professor of political science and director of the Center for the Study of Government and the Individual at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, cowrotePassing on the Right: Conservative Professors in the Progressive University, released earlier this year. Among other points, the book argues what Dunn reiterated recently via telephone: that “attempts at indoctrination don’t work.”

    Instead of faculty, he said, “there’s evidence that the most powerful effect on students comes from their peers. So [Sanders] could have had that effect -- the peer group effect, if you have lots of friends going and campaigning for him.”

    https://www.insidehighered.com/news...liberal-academics-indoctrinate-their-students


    Young people are rejecting conservatism because they can see that more and more the political agenda is hijacked by politics of the extreme right that are destroying American democracy and replacing with an oligarchy that only serves the very wealthy and corporations.

    They are more and more seeing that it does not have to be that way and we should question the abuse of power from both parties and look for alternatives to unfettered capitalism.

    I worked in a major university for years and I can tell you that it is not conservative voices that are being silenced. Conservative voices fund law and business schools and corporations fund sciences including agricultural sciences where I worked.

    What is a conservative these days ? I always thought it was to advance America the most fiscally solid way possible. That is not the case anymore what do they actually do besides tax cuts that aren’t paid for and abortion restrictions that cost government more money just on court cases alone.

    Hilarious that conservatives are always bleating about fiscal conservatism and yet once in office the national debt goes through the roof paying for their wars and tax cuts.

    Then it is up to the Democrats to impose austerity to try to pay down the debt and they get called socialists for their effort in cleaning up the cons messes.

    You couldn't make this stuff up

    Most of the conservatives on this board would agree with you. There are NO actual fiscal conservatives in the government. I'm not entirely sure when the last one left but it's been awhile.

    . A conservative Trump gets all the credit for Obama leading out of recession that a republican caused. But all conservatives can talk about is the negatives of being liberal or a socialist. How about we talk about all the times conservatism has failed and you will find that it is every time. The people you vote for aren’t conservative they are opportunist and people advocate for them it is hilarious.

    I think true conservatism was once about good governance and fiscal responsibility - at least that's what they will tell you.

    Now it's about cow-towing and bending over for lobbyists, padding your own re-election and blaming everything on those free-spending commies and liberals as the country descends into madness.
