He definitely radicalized her over the years (been married on and off for 18 years), and has started physical fights with me since I was a kid. She never really defended me, and put him over me when they got married. She is a librarian, and used to be a 7th grade English teacher. I hate that she's influencing children every day.

Mexican beer? If so, I think "those types" have no qualms about Mexicans existing as long as they produce slightly cheaper goods and good beer in their own country - they just want the ones in the US to all die as soon as possible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Katana314@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago Another bit of irony is that they likely complain about an “open border”. Thought experiment; under what circumstances should a Mexican brewer be able to sell their sweet beverages into the United States? At the border, standing on tiptoes to hand a case of bottles over a wire fence, to receive dollars back from an American trader? Or, maybe shall we allow a system by which anyone can apply for permission to enter for trade needs…? Oh, but that would be an open border; because then people could apply, and then just choose not to go back. Hmmm. It’s a really interesting problem! permalink fedilink source parent
