In the coverage of Trump's horrendous treatment of our American heroes that have won the Congressional Medal of Honor, I've not seen much mention that Joe Biden is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom that orange chump said is a higher honor than the CMoH.

If we did not welcome people who want to improve their lives, as well as contribute to our country and culture, we wouldn’t be just worse off—America wouldn’t be America."

They are sympathy terrorists, using the Democrats as a platform for #Hamas.
You'll never see a Pro #Palestine protest at a #Republican function.
They can't hijack the Republican party and boost their anti-Semitic narrative because the #KKK did that long ago.
None of the "protestors" at the Republican convention were given TV time.

Maybe some commenters here have specific suggestions worth considering (but please vet them first to make sure they work for you!).
