My loyalty is to this country first and foremost, in contrast to certain individuals who seem to think that their loyalty is conditional on the US being white or Christian.
No. Those are just foundational characteristics of America that it would be good to retain because that is part of what makes it great. White people built this nation from the ground up. Christians built this nation from the ground up. If you love it give them the credit they deserve. I would love America even if it had nothing to offer me because it’s my home, because of what it once was, even if all of that is dead. I’d love it even if the vast majority of the population hated me, if it’s culture was radically altered, if it wasn’t even possible to save, if there wasn’t a person here who spoke English natively or even knew a bit of its history except me.
To me, it's really pretty simple. We are Americans and America is the greatest nation in the world, the leading light among the civilized people. But anyone who wants to and can contribute can become an American. We aren't stinking Europeans with their idiotic thing where only those with French "blood" can be French or whatever.
And that’s sadly not been the case. You have to look at things demographically and how they vote and what they support and what that’s led to. That doesn’t mean you can’t be in line with America and its founding ideals or characteristics because you aren’t white, but voting demographics and values of the majority are what has to be looked at.
It’s also not how America was founded, that “anyone can be an American!” that’s a lie. The founders had it so that only Europeans could be citizens and where people came from and how in line they were with the American identity in its founding was kept as policy all the way up until 1965. And since 1965 our immigration policy has been nothing short of disastrous. California went from deep red to deep blue as just one example. I am a native Californian, with family roots tracing back over 100 years to California, some came as Oakies in the Great Depression. and others with the gold rush. And I grew up in an area so heavy with immigrants that I felt like a foreigner in my own homeland. That is what is happening to America and that is what I don’t want to see continue.
“Anybody who wants to” is nothing short of open borders. We have enough immigrants. As a whole, they don’t integrate or what they do integrate to is the liberal narrative and liberal beliefs. This has to be factored in with your immigration policy because if you just hold to this idealism of “anyone can be an American!” And these people vote against absolutely everything you want America to be like and everything that you think makes America great, well, then it isn’t very well going to be great anymore is it? You’re choosing to bring on millions of people who radically alter the voting demographics and make your vision of America less and less viable until it ceases to be possible entirely. And then all you are left with is loving America for what I said, for what it once was and even though it has nothing to offer you.
The right needs to stop being suicidally devoted to “principles” that they’ve been lied to that are foundational when they never were and start examining things pragmatically. Start realizing that the viability of keeping the things they love about this country are in serious jeopardy of ceasing to ever be possible to retain, and to start pursuing policies, voting for candidates who do and holding their representatives feet to the fire who don’t.
