Trump brought the Regeneracy, just not in the way he expected.

You are being intentionally dishonest, putting meaning in those words not implied by the people saying them. Name me one immigrant group, excluding fringe cases like the Amish, that has not fully assimilated into American culture by the 3rd generation. The "We're a nation of immigrants" line is about pointing out the hypocrisy of people attacking immigrants when their own ancestors were immigrants. Steve Bannon's Irish Catholic ancestors caused as much hysteria as Muslims do now.

Not at all. Those ho make claims that diversity is a strength mean that bringing in people from all the disparate cultures of the globe improves our society--where the evidence indicates it acually destroys social coheisen and collective faith in others.

And furthermore no, immigration is an experience. One may or may not be the offspring of immigrants but they are not themselves immigrants. To claim otherwise is to be intellectually dishonest.

It isn't my fault you have the self-awareness of a potato.

In my case libertarian but in the minds of the clueless that amounts to the same thing.

Sounds familiar.  Being a classical liberal I'm often accused of fascism.  I've even been called a white supremacist--though thankfully not to my face.  Most Regressives aren't so brain dead as to say that to my face just yet.  But I am waiting for Black to be the new White.

"Classical Liberal", sure you are.

My current political views have more in line with John Adams than yours do....to point to an other thread.
