How the heck did I get on these right-wing crank group mailing lists? I do subscribe to a newsletter from Hillsdale College, an extremely right-wing college that puts out a monthly newsletter full of misleading articles by various “conservatives.” Maybe the college sells its subscription list.
So today I get a “poll” asking me questions about immigration. The letter states: Our nation is at a breaking point. The brave men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)–sworn to enforce our laws and protect our communities–are being vilified, harassed, and even violently assaulted.
Not only by radical mobs. Not only by dangerous illegal alien criminals.
But also by radical anti-border politicians and activists who are fanning the flames with hateful rhetoric. (their emphasis)
They then ask me to send in a contribution. I wrote across it: “I wouldn’t have supported the Gestapo in Germany in the Thirties, and I certainly won’t contribute to ICE.”
Yes, it cost me a stamp, but the satisfaction was worth it. I always include my address so they can find me. If I go missing, you know what happened.
