Ok, I don't really care to respond further, you're not even taking the point about Americans wanting basic checks and you clearly don't agree with the idea of a legal process for entering a country. As far as you're concerned America should be taking unlimited amounts of economic migrants because they're unhappy with their own country. I totally reject that idea, and I think most people in the West with any basic common sense would as well.

Well read. And the BBC clearly have hired staff for one reason only, and as roar said so it is true.

Yes neither side were extreme.
Today we see political polarisation in to the extremes.
Just to be clear I'm not saying Trump isn't extreme. Of course he is. But I can understand why people vote for him. He's a reaction.
Before I visited the US I thought I'd be Republican leaning. But found them to be 10 times more frustrating than the Tories. I found myself more aligned more with the Democrats.
And the right as moved so far right they're now touching on facism, supporting China, Russia and NK and trying instate Trump as President for life. There is no moderate or centre party in the US

How do you figure that?
Is that real or a conspiracy theory?
Real and indirectly achieving that goal. Couple weeks back they tried to get the American courts to declare that if Trump becomes president again, he will be exempt from all laws, meaning he can break any and every law to stay in power, including but not limited to ordering the US military to kill his political opponents. Thankfully the courts completely rejected the attempt, and they specifically mentioned that one of the main reasons they rejected it is because Trump would be able to have his political opponents killed like Putin does in Russia

Seriously? That's shocking. I didn't see it reported anywhere hence why i asked.

Yes the right are having an extreme reaction.
Though the President for life is a conspiracy theory.
It's not a conspiracy. Grim says the American courts tried to sort it two weeks ago.

Most Conservative voters here would be Democrats in the US. Its a far more right leaning country that the UK and sadly the Republicans have moved further right with factions being now far right Christo-fascists.

There is no left party in the US, just the dems who do an occasional bit of token lip service towards lefty culture war issues.
Most American lefties dislike the dems hence why they often call them and their supporters “shitlibs” lol.

The dems know they're screwed hence the mass illegal migration.

Where did I say that? You do love to put words in people's mouths. I merely pointed out that the US like the UK takes genuine refugees. I don't think the US or any country should take unlimited numbers of economic migrants, I never said that or hinted at that so stop with the false statements. They should sort their border out but that takes a bipartisan effort and does not mean building a stupid wall coast to coast, building a moat and filling it with alligators or shooting migrants in the legs to slow them down.

One of the judges put the hypothetical to his lawyers that they are really arguing that if he did have a political opponent murdered he couldn't be prosecuted and would be above the law. They argued that he'd need to be impeached and convicted before he could then be charged with the crime. Bat **** crazy and ignoring that no one might ever find out the the president ordered such a murder, in which case if he/she left office and then it came out he/she would be immune from prosecution. It is amazing Trump can even find lawyers to argue such crap, it would pretty much make him above the law as long as it could be kept secret for the term.

Its now with the SCOTUS although some think that they have only taken it to give trump time and push any potential for him being found guilty out until after the election.
They have set verbal argument for end of April
I would be mega surprised if the SCOTUS found he did have immunity from all crimes whilst in office since he could simply then disband them as well.
Who needs a SC when the president can do anything he fancies.

Hopefully the SC see sense and give him the immunity that he and the world needs as all of these crimes he has supposed to have committed seem to go nowhere. Very strange.

The biggest cultural difference in my view are the Republicans views on capitalism and individualism.
The main gripe against some kind of socialised health system, even if partially private funded like some of the European systems are, is because it might benefit someone who hasn't paid enough in. So they would rather pay higher bills than help a fellow American out.
