So people vote right wing because they’re stupid and misinformed. Gotcha. Good talk.

Glad you’re coming at this in an adult way.

What other reason can you name for people being anti immigration when there are zero immigrants in their region? Why do they care?

And regarding talking to conservatives: I do that all the time as (unfortunately) the sports club in which I'm heavily involved is pretty conservative, but I don't see any reason why I should talk to people pushing and voting for Nazis agenda.

Edit: And I believe that it's not unreasonable in itself to try and control immigration. But just maybe beforehand we should stop actively exploiting and destroying their countries*.

*wars, unfair free trading agreements, dumping subsidized food, climate change, dumping garbage...
