      And even now, I scoff! But, like, in a “no duh” agreeing kind of way.

      The same immigrants who told me not to worry about Trump were the same ones telling me that their homeland was justified in punishing/purging x people because “it’s global politics” and that I’m “too American” to understand. The same people who told me that the US president can’t affect the rest of the world’s politics because “each country has their own independent government.”

      I swear, if I told these people that I had cancer in my toe, they’d tell me to not get it treated because it’s not anywhere important.
