I'm tired of the narrative of having to behave better than them. We are by default, but we are in a fight for our lives. We are not attacking the Haitian immigrants. The gloves have to come off. Being high minded in the face of their ugliness is what got us here. Trump was actually saying Harris is a dumb person among other things. He deserves all of this.
