This is literally my parents. They told me to stop criticizing the people in power, even going as far as saying I shouldn’t criticize the government of my former country. I don’t even have citizenship in my former country anymore, not sure how I could even get in trouble for criticizing is effecively a foreign country to me. (I’m talking about PRC btw).

My mom told me to “just focus on improving your own life and stop worrying about things like you can’t control like politics” (as in, both the politics of my former country and the politics of my current country)

Am I in the wrong here? Should I just keep quiet and not say anything so that I don’t “get in trouble”?

    They can try to avoid politics, but politics isn’t going avoid them.

    They are frightened because as immigrants, you are among the most vulnerable. HitlerPig is not respecting any laws, especially immigration laws. He’s even trying to invalidate Birthright Citizenship, which is in the Constituion, and a concept that nearly every government in the world respects.

    If he won’t even respect the citizenship of someone who was born in America, he isn’t going to respect the rights of ANYONE born somwhere else, no matter what their legal status is, given by some other president.

    I have close friend who came here from Venezuela, got her green card, then became a citizen in 2024. She feels safe, because she’s a citizen now, but i don’t trust these MAGA Traitors to respect that.

    He has been especially vocal about hating Venezuelans. I think its because we have granted special status to Venezuelans, but HitlerPig respects Maduro because he was able to turn his thriving successful country into a starving dictatorship, which is HitlerPig’s greatest ambition.

      Should probably specify, i am not an immigrant and have never set foot on american soil. We have our own clown show in my country, and is an absolute monarchy which is why i usually butt heads with basically everyone else lol. Republicanism is a very frowned upon (and illegal) ideology lol. But when’s that stopped anybody?
