He just doesn't use light or moderate strength words. the problem isn't that it's "hyperbole," it's that it's nonsense to begin with. i'm not saying "he's way too hyperbolic but he's right about immigrants having changed my country's culture for the worse," i'm saying "i don't agree at all with the notion that my country's culture has changed to any signfiicant degree because of immigrants." even the far right politicians here would agree with this - they're not saying "WE LIVE IN A DYSTOPIAN WASTELAND NOW BECAUSE OF IMMIGRANTS WE NEED TO CHANGE IT BACK," they're saying we need to close the borders and stop any more immigrants from coming in BEFORE our culture is changed for the worse. it's common sense, too - the idea that immigrants could so easily change a culture that's existed for centuries is lolworthy. and just like the "crime rate" statement, another issue is that the statement is so vague that it's pretty much meaningless. he should tell us specifically what immigrants have changed about our culture for the worse. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ...
