    You gotta remember, in America we’re not enemies, we’re friends, we’re neighbors."

    Then come over here and tell that to some of my neighbors who would want me dead if they knew certain things about me.

      This quote comes to mind:

      Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.

      ― Naomi Shulman

      In a nation where homes are how we expand our portfolio and not where we make our community, you are a danger to the investment.

      I’d probably want you dead too if I knew you were a sentient squirrel capable of time travel that wasn’t actively using it’s power to change our present for the better.
