I wasn't criticizing your excellent post at all, just expanding on the false assumption that all MAGAs start with, even making it their name.

We may care for our country, but we have a problematic history that should be acknowledged, not covered up.

It wasn't supposed to do anything like that. It was an audition for Chuck Schumer's job, laying out what the Democratic agenda would look like under his leadership, while showing strength, all things Schumer doesn't have.

I'm not a big fan of Booker, but he's miles ahead of the weak, simpering weenie Schumer. I'll NEVER forgive him for stabbing Al Franken in the back. He's got to go, and let AOC take his place.

Dipshits like you is what ruined Reddit, and now you MAGA Traitors are going to ruin Lemmy, too. Isn't fucking up America and the world enough for you psychos?

I was exiled from Reddit. You have no idea how bad it can get until you've spent over a decade there. At least with Lemmy I don't have to scroll through dozens of juvenile puns just to get to a discussion that is soon derailed by Russian propaganda trolls.

I still miss the guitar subs, though. The idiots tended to ignore them.

And yet this simpering little weenie will still vote for every single thing that HitlerPig demands.

I read your first paragraph as a prediction of the future, until l realized that you were talking about the Great Depression and WWII.

"Those who ignore history, are doomed to repeat it" is supposed to be cautionary, but MAGA sees it as a game plan.

That reminds me, I really have to sharpen my guillotine.

When exactly was America truly great? When it was founded on the back of slavery? When it expanded with a ruthless genocide of the Native Americans? When it had to have a Civil War to demand that slavery be abolished? When it ignored the emancipation of slaves, and adopted Jom Crow laws? When corporations were allowed to exploit its workers with low pay, dangerous work environments, child labor, and no protections? When companies hired goons to murder their activist employees for standing up for, and organizing their workers? When America was booming after WWII, and corporate America still exploited and discriminated against minorities and women? When it had a draft for the corporate war in Vietnam? When it assassinated great leaders with the potential to do great things in the future like MLK and RFK? When it re-wrote the tax code in 1974 to bake in Trickle Down economics, and cause the biggest shift of money from the middle class to the wealthy in history, which continues to this day? When Reagan fought his illegal war in Central America, selling weapons to our bitterest enemy to fund it, and giving protection to gun/drug smugglers, who flooded America with cheap cocaine, launching the crack cocaine scourge? When Regan repealed the Fairness Doctrine, allowing the Conservative Propaganda Machine to grow unchecked for decades? When the Republican party stole the 2000 election, and the Dems allowed it?

And now we've reached the point where a triumvirate of 2 foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs, and the most prolific traitor in American history have joined to treat America as a fat, weak, lazy target to be exploited as ruthlessly as possible.

So when exactly were we fulfilling the dreams of the Founding Fathers? When were we ever truly great?

Why would anyone think any stats they get from these traitors are real? They lie about literally EVERYTHING. Even if the numbers were amazing, they'd sweeten them. Lying/ Cheating/ Stealing/ Corruption is their brand.

I have a good friend who is Venezuelan. She's a wonderful person, extremely intelligent, and everybody who knows her, loves her.

She just became an American citizen in December, and believes that will protect her. I dont want to scare her, but I'm a standard-issue white guy, and I'm still worried about my safety, and my family's. When things start getting really ugly, i doubt they will respect her citizenship. They'll just say that it's a privilege, and rescind it, and send her back.

I loved it when Hegseth claimed that even with the info they recklessly leaked, the location wasn't in the texts.

No, it was literally in the TITLE of the text group. Fucking dipshit thinks everyone is as stupid as he is.

Exactly. They are avoiding accountability, and the only reasons for that would be criminal or treason.
