I'm trying to understand woke liberals. What kind of person at this point still thinks invading, unvetted, illegals is a good thing? Why do they act like every person crossing our border is some affable, innocent, funny Marvel movie character and will call you a bigot for suggesting otherwise. It's so hard to get these people to grow up (these are adults!) and realize their simplistic world view is not as kind and empathetic as they think it is in the long-term. They don't think about the ripple effects, just the initial idea of kindly letting someone in so they can pat themselves in the back for being falsely virtuous instead of considering the long-term consequences which would actually make their actions more destructive than kind.
They’ve made the cold calculation that the personal increase of social status from pretending to be nice is more than worth their small share of the socialized costs of causing America to decline.

The ones in affluent neighborhoods or any neighborhood that doesn't see it.
The news isn't reporting it so they don't see it.

It's elitism and a complete lack of self awareness.
A good amount of virtue signaling as well.
