      That might imply that it hasn’t been for generations.

      edit: suck my bare ass, all you trolls, bots, and various propaganda fucktoys. This nation is fully in the WIP stage, and has been from the jump, but if you honestly believe otherwise, I’m more likely to bet you’re a gawdamned idiot than trust your ability to cogently grasp the salient concepts.

        You don’t have to keep spiking that football, everyone who gives a damn about history knows and it downplays the very real worsening that is also happening.

          No, it most certainly does not, but applauding the silencing of our histories’ many lessons in its myriad failures most certainly is working in the favor of anti-intellectualism and other tactics of fascism. You do you, though.

          Oh, and by the way, do you know what they called Nazi apologists back in the day? I mean, you don’t really come across those two words used together much, you know. It’s because the correct term for a Nazi “apologist” is simply: Nazi. Just something to keep in mind, I guess.

            I’m gonna go on record and say I think you’re a good person, and I try to be too, and I think this has been a miscommunication. We’re all stressed as hell lately and I genuinely think of myself as on the same side as you.

        I must comment that I down voted not because of the content of your initial comment, but because of the tone of your edit.

        Insulting people doesn’t get your point across, I understand that there’s a lot of anger, but communication is really key and the time it takes to percolate is glacial. Yet by abuse understanding walks the other way.

        I’m this case it’s better to embrace the common consensus that the USA is fucked, where you agree, rather than focus on the throwaway ‘rn’ that you go off on.

          Ooh, ooh, and the spectators who thump their chests and point at the things they didn’t do — all for whatever scraps of make-believe points from anonymous strangers they can scarf down. Oh, I love those heroes the most.

      Hasn’t it always been? It’s just more visible rn, volume went to 11, trump is an obvious dictator mobster wannabe loser, but hasn’t the US always been just this anyway?

      • Not really, no. Not like this. Just since the talibangelicals have seized control. Yeah, there absolutely have been problems before, but they corrected back to the middle. Not this time.
