Well, whaddeya know, the Washington Post really does want to make America great again, and it has just the plan to do it: bring in tens of thousands of Afghan refugees. In an unsigned editorial entitled “Afghan refugees will know indifference, bigotry — and also kindness — in America. They will also make it better,” the WaPo Editorial Board claimed that racist, redneck, Trumpist yahoos are going to make life difficult for the sage, victimized Afghans who have just arrived here (after being prioritized over Americans), but ultimately they will transform this country into a better place, presumably something like the beloved homeland they left behind.
The Post claimed that “the bigotry oozes forth from” – you guessed it! – “former president Donald Trump, who set the exodus in motion by signing a deal with the Taliban last year to seal the U.S. departure and now, along with others in his party’s nativist ranks, warns of terrorists infiltrating American communities, masquerading as refugees. In fact, the number of refugees, Muslims or otherwise, who have carried out terrorist attacks in this country is minuscule.”
