   You whine when you are called out for your white supremacist nonsense,   
   but   
   once again you show STRONG support and alignment with such views. Why do   
   that   
   when you deny you do that?   
      
      
      
   ? False or Misleading Claims:   
      
       1.   “LOTS of people are gaming the system” – This is an   
   overgeneralization and not backed by meaningful data. Most people on   
   assistance are elderly, disabled, or working poor. The myth of the   
   welfare   
   queen persists, but it’s largely debunked.   
      
       2.   “Trump is going after these lazy grifters” – No current evidence   
   supports Trump initiating new significant crackdowns on welfare fraud as   
   of   
   May 2025. Prior actions mainly involved work requirements and budget   
   cuts, not   
   major enforcement sweeps.   
      
       3.   “Biden’s open borders” – The claim that Biden has “open borders”   
   is   
   politically charged and factually incorrect. Border enforcement continued   
   under his administration. Immigration is complex and legal/illegal entry
