It seems to be more about maintaining some feeling of purity than actually doing something to protect the country from those inside it who hate it. How can a country be run by people who hate it? As I always say, these people will tell you in twenty different ways how this country sucks. And they don't just say that is sucks, but that it's the worst of all, like with "systemic racism" or with our economic system. According to them, we are the worst oppressors in these regards in human history. You will effectively be giving them a vote when you daintily walk around the puddle, lest your clogs be even touched by a smidgen of mud.
And Joey isn't a "toxic personality?"
