US Authoritarianism

Like, no seriously, the state department classified him as a terrorist until like 10 years before he died.

See, Donald trump is a twit, but he’s pretty consistent. He’ll hang around and enable evangelicals, which will make like worse at home, but for foreign policy, he does kind of just hang out and take credit for whatever direction things were already going. Uhm 😐 guys. That’s a lesser evil. Than a competent genocidaire.

and don’t let any jackass posted up in a cushy democratic enclave tell you different

It was to break up unions and assassinate labor leaders

“Well I’m from the US and I learned about the trail of tears in school”

Learn to look beyond your own experiences. Maybe that post is for the majority of people educated in the US who aren’t from California new York or Maryland.

At a certain point it is just willful ignorance to not learn what it is the most evil chunks of our country wants to do and why. ——— Just rolling out of bed, anyway. Yes on second look this is old. I don’t think that takes away from my doomsaying ‘that’s the direction they’re going’, first abortion then the gays then racial hierarchy. These are the traditional values of America that we have stripped away.
