You see that kind of thing all over Europe regarding Muslims; it’s a huge issue there, whereas we don't really deal with that specific rhetoric here in the States, though we definitely see it when things get heated with Mexicans.
Railroad worker, let's take this all the way to the end. We both know exactly who holds the Islamophobic views around here and who's still fighting battles from decades ago. His right-wing leanings are clearly focused on being anti-Islam, which isn't even a platform any major party in America pushes.
Regardless of where we stand politically, I think we can both still be rational. Honestly? I think you're overreaching a bit this time.
I don't personally vibe with the Libertarian Party or the Democratic Party, but it feels like some people—even violent ones—are trying to shove these parties into an extreme right-wing corner. People in Norway say they don't even have an extreme right wing, yet here we are. We always love to exaggerate, don't we? Some people even get a little mean about it. We really should learn a thing or two from more chill nations!
