Those attending the “Take Our Border Back” rally in Quemado said they were convening as Christians who support putting razor wire and walls on the border and want people to come legally.

Trump 2024 flags flew alongside Christian flags as a throng of people converged on a rural Texas ranch to denounce the president and the people who have crossed into the United States from the nearby Rio Grande.

Many of those who arrived at the border town of Quemado on Friday for the “Take Our Border Back” rally said they were convening as Christians who stand against lawlessness and were doing so peacefully. The musical performers, vendors, political signs and colorful clothing on the rally grounds contrasted with the razor wire, camouflage uniforms and weaponry stationed 20 miles south at the section of border in Eagle Pass.

The group arrived at about 8 p.m. Friday local time and merged onto a two-lane rural road, creating a long queue of mostly personal or rented cars and recreational vehicles.

      They don’t support that either. Unless the people emigrating are from Europe. Sometimes. But they definitely don’t want legal immigration for anyone not white and/or Christian and/or cishet.

      Nation States sow division, war, unhealthy competition between humans, all in the name of maintaining power for the sociopaths that own them.

      The imaginary lines you worship will be our species’ end. We have crises that threaten the planet. “My nation state wants moooaaaaar than your nation state” is just children tantruming at the end of the world of our making, and we deserve it, unlike all the entire ecosystems of creatures we don’t give shit one about that we’re destroying along with us.
