I joined this region(well, its predecessor) years ago when I was conservative, but like all things I changed and moved to the left when I learned how the world works. I stick around because this is still a good community even if I don't see everyone eye to eye in politics.

I am glad you still place loyalty with those who guided you throughout politics, my concern is when you try to course people to your left leaning political beliefs considering that this place is meant to be a union of conservatives.

Honestly Trumpers have made me go to the left. I was a staunch and borderline extremist conservative in 2016. Now I'm not.

Same honestly. Anti-maskers, and Trump's failed response to COVID and to BLM(and the whole Lafayette Square thing...), and his supporters' constant defending of him only pushed me more to the left.

I have become more ruthless and responsive/reactive as a Conservative towards Left-leaning ideologues due to groups like Antifa burning down fellow neighbors' homes and businesses.

Imagine what it must feel like to watch someone who looks like you have their neck kneeled on for 9 minutes, then.

I am against cancel culture so I'm cool with you being here, I'm just cautious.

A good example of this is groups similar to the Nazi party becoming popular in Sweden due to the governments' inability to take action on immigrants who are committing crimes disproportionately higher to the general population (not to generalize or anything)

While technically not wrong, the average immigrants is only marginally more likely to commit a crime than a native Swede of similar education and socioeconomic status.

Also take into account over-policing of immigrant areas compared to non-immigrant areas. Data, while useful, usually reflects charges and convictions, which are basically from a government POV.

Long Time ago.

Importing large numbers of immigrants from far lands that share little culture with yours is asking for problems. Countries are built on shared and commonly held beliefs/goals, not diversity.

Boy oh boy, I have some news for you about the United States of America then.

Economists almost universally agree that in America, immigration is a net benefit. Also, it should be pointed out that immigration is the only thing that keeps our population from stagnating and decreasing.

I think it is important to look into who is immigrating, if they are going to be economically beneficial as well as being patriotic then I'm all for it.
