Let the idiots have their racist homophobic dictatorship if that's what they want.

I'm sure it would never cause any lasting problems, sharing a substantial land border with an actively malicious enemy nation. /s

Besides, allowing them to leave because they wanted to continue actions antithetical to our values would be tacitly condoning them. "You can keep on trafficking humans, we just don't want any part of it" is a pretty cold-blooded response.

No, letting them go was never a valid option. We just needed to actually finish reconstruction. You can thank John Wilkes Booth for eliminating that.
