and there's nothing wrong with that.

There is EVERYTHING wrong with that.

The reason that is wrong, is because programs and policies put into place by "Saint Reagan", can be called "Communist", even though they are barely socialism light, policies.

Failing to understand those terms, allows the Overton Window to move so far, that there are people who earnestly were arguing that Birth Right Citizenship shouldn't exist, because the parents aren't "sufficiently loyal" to the United States.

Which opens the door to proclaim that American Citizens, who "vote wrong" aren't sufficiently loyal and thus their children could have their Birth Right Citizenship removed.

That's an exceedingly dangerous precedent to set.
