not going to invade, but they already visited. They took a look at the "humans" and got as far away as they could..light years away. Why? they listened in to the leader of one of the leading countries,,, a Mr. Trump, and they decided to get out of that nut house planet...ASAP..and As far away AP...

Otherwise, no. There are plenty of other places for "conservative" space aliens to post (see "free republic" for a good example; no human being has made a post at that website for the past six or seven years).

That kind of conservative goes backwards from science to bible thumping superstition to insentience.

Evolution works both ways.

The people I was thinking of are de-evolved human beings on their way to becoming slime mold. I retract my previous statement and thank you for your correction.

When hostile spacemen invade I will go to the American media and tell a story of how the spacemen grabbed my butt at the science fiction fair. Then the spacemen will offer an apology, become embarrassed and then leave the planet.

.... Edit...

Or they will campaign for political office.
