      Normally that’s hyperbole, but yeah. Next he’ll say it was a joke, because suuuure it was.

          No they aren’t. Marrying a US citizen makes it easier to get a green card, but you still need to apply and go through the process. Even then, there is no legal guarantee that your application will be granted.

    It was difficult looking at this article, and the picture of this individual was unsettling, but I pulled the page open just to double-check the quote.

    Langford added, “We know who you are, we know where you are, if you marry one of our Californian incels then you can stay but if you don’t, then, well you get sent back across.”

    It would appear that he, indeed, did say those words.

    What a horrible person.

      I think it was meant to be insulting however, the headline makes it seem like it wasn’t.

      It’s no less gross in context, but yeah.

    He’s a 24 year old unmarried (likely incel) running for Governor in California. He isn’t even going to win the primary, how about we just all collectively ignore this dumbass.

      It’s basically Revenge of the Nerds. If you rewatch that movie with a modern lens it’s about a bunch of loser incels who harass and violate women. Truly befitting movie with the modern day incel.

      land of the free

      That was actually a typo from day 1 - it was supposed to say “fee”. You can understand why people are frustrated over the misunderstanding.

    This should have been a very obvious outcome to those who paying attention to what’s been going on and how we got here. It’s basically an extension of the “passport bros” culture and another ploy for predatory behavior.
