No.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ~Patrick Henry

I grew up reading books about history, the Revolutionary War and the events surrounding it, the early years of this country, the Mountain Men, Abolitionism, the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, the Wild West...all that real old-school stuff. I grew up watching Westerns and science fiction and in terms of anything not reality based, I read a lot of science fiction too. I had a National Geographic subscription as a kid. Hell, just the stuff I read for fun tended to impress upon me the value of exploration, of fighting for what was right, of inquiry, and yes, of liberty.

My understanding, even as an Elementary school-age kid, was that liberty very much meant having the right to vote, to vote your conscience, to choose and fight for your own destiny without having to pick up a weapon in order to do it. That was the whole damned point of this country. Voting is liberty, it IS participation in America, and without that, anything else to do with the American Idea is nothing more than a privilege for others to confer or take away as they see fit. Without the God-given, inalienable right to participate in it yourself...why bother? Without that right...without the right to hold your government to account...you have no other rights.

Without the right to vote, to hold the guy with the "The Buck Stops Here" sign on his desk to account, the concept of Democracy has nothing to hang its hat on.

This asshole is not your friend, he's not giving you anything, what he's offering you is nothing more than a Christianized, Republicanized version of Dhimmitude and don't you forget it.

More to the point, it's probably worse because the Muslims extended protections to the Christians, Jews and others who lived in the lands they conquered. Does anybody really think these faithless assholes would honor any promise they made to anybody who didn't bribe them with insane amounts of money?

When it comes to citizenship, to freedom, either you are or you aren't. There are no half-measures. There's no being 99% of a Citizen. If you can't vote, you aren't one because that is the most basic building block of citizenship (and this country) right there.

I mean, what else is there? Participation in our Capitalistic system? Oh please, These are the same fools who are trying to prop up Coal, which is very much a dying industry, or Oil, in the face of the stark reality of Climate Change (I live in Michigan, it's February, and it's raining outside and supposed to get up to 50 degrees this week) even as the rest of the world is investing in renewable energy. These are the same damn people who want to basically wreck the international system of free trade...that previous generations of conservatives built...either because Brown people get to participate in it now or somehow it's not dumping enough money into their pockets. These people don't give two fucks about Capitalism and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. What they really want is to re-order the international system to provide extreme socialism/free money for them and literal crap for everyone else. Remember, Republicans repeatedly voted to keep the Affordable Care Act for themselves but take it away from everybody else.

That, right there, should tell you what these people's real priorities are.

How long before they get to "You can vote for whoever you want, as long as it's us?"

See, that's the thing. The real objective here is that "Conservatives" (who are no longer all that conservative, really) basically want to be able to do what they want, while others have no recourse. (Yet at the same time, they're for free availability of guns, which will probably only last until enough people start shooting at them.)

I'm a gamer, I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons since I was a kid. Do you want to know where wanting to do whatever you want, to whoever you want, no matter who gets hurt falls on the Alignment spectrum, do you know how such a moral code is described? Chaotic Evil, that's how.

At this point, I'm surprised that Bill Buckley, Chuck Colson, George H.W. Bush (and George W. Bush for that matter) Gerald Ford, Margaret Thatcher, Moon Sun Myung, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and while we're at it, Rajneesh haven't been retroactively drummed out of Conservatism (or at least Anti-Communism, or are Communists good now, Vlad!?) for their liberal heresies...hell, for simply working within the existing systems that they had at the time and executing established precedent and government policy or the will of the people regardless of their personal views (That's what Republicans are talking about when they go after the FBI, or the Judiciary, or various civil servants or regulatory agencies, or treaties like NATO or the Paris Climate Accords, for that matter) or in the case of those not in politics...having any opinion which contravened the will of the Hive-Mind whatever...

These people simply don't want to be constrained by any rules whatsoever. Never mind that reality says no one gets that kind of power. These are human beings, not gods.

.Republicans, and their donors and enablers, have basically reached the point where they would gleefully burn down this country and everything it stands for, so long as they get to stay in power. Keep that in mind when you consider that people who know about this stuff say we're now in a conflict with the Russians, that in effect the Cold War has been restarted...by Vladimir Putin. We need to vote the bastards out, all of them, before they sell this country out to the Enemy (so long as they get to stay in power as a quisling regime.)

Republicans have become the people that George Orwell warned us about.

More to the point, I read some of the comments on the FOX News Twitter thread under the article that the snipped picture at the top was the header for...

Republican voters don't seem to care if they end up slaves, so long as they are a better class of slaves than all the other slaves.

I think that's pretty fucked up.

• There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever. ~George Orwell

Is Citizenship in exchange for a border wall a fair deal?

No. 

Citizenship, no walls. Walls can keep people in as well as out, and I don't want to live in that kind of country.

As a popular song from my grandparents generation put it...and don't forget, that generation of Americans was the one that defeated Fascism...

Oh give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle on
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
To many words, gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

Oh give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle on
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
