I am going to respond to both of your comments here:

It’s interesting that you claim to be hopeful about America’s future under Trump 2.0 while ignoring the fact that the very party you’re cheering on has built its entire platform around demonizing immigrants—yes, including you. Right now, you may think you’re on the “right side” of things, but history has a funny way of showing how these movements always turn on their own. Soon enough, you might find yourself singing the “I never thought the leopards would eat my face” song.

Unlike you, I believe that immigrants make this country stronger. That’s why it’s baffling to see an immigrant openly support a party whose leaders and base have been increasingly hostile toward non-white, non-European arrivals. How to do you square with the rhetoric painting all immigrants as criminals, with Trump himself saying immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America? The push to revoke birthright citizenship?

Let’s also talk about the border deal you’re so worked up about. You blame Biden for an “open border” but conveniently ignore the fact that Trump himself killed the bipartisan border deal—not because he thought it was bad policy, but because he wanted to keep immigration as a campaign issue. He told Republicans to reject a deal that gave them everything they claimed to want: stricter border security, asylum limits, and faster deportations. Why? Because chaos at the border benefits him. The worse things get, the more he can use it as a political weapon.

So let’s be clear: Trump wants the border to be a mess because it keeps people like you angry at the wrong target. Instead of blaming the party that actually tanked the deal, you’re swallowing their narrative wholesale.

And as for the rest—DEI, Ukraine, Gaza—I find it amusing that you claim to be a “centrist” while parroting hard-right talking points word-for-word. Let’s not pretend that opposing diversity, equity, and inclusion, or wanting to gut government institutions, is some middle-of-the-road position. The reality is, you’ve been radicalized into defending an administration that sees you as disposable. You might not feel it yet, but give it time.

Sanity isn’t returning to government. What’s returning is a full-scale assault on democracy, civil rights, and—yes—immigrants. You may think you’re immune, but history says otherwise. And by the time you realize it, it might be too late.
