      More like our ability to tolerate madman. He is just one person. This does not bode well for the future of the US.

        I mean frankly, what the fuck are the american people even doing? I mean the Germans had the argument of actually being made criminals for belonging to a different party within half a year of the Austrian painter taking power.

          Its easier to get away with things if you let the avg person keep on living with out interfering with them.

          For the majority of Americans there no direct effect on their day to day life. There secondary effects and indirect effects on all of us, but because they arnt physically harmful, directly viewable or caused by something with in the immediate region where they live.

          People can and will just ignore them. Its been like that though of all of human history.

          What does the present care for? Their food, water and warmth. What the king does many miles away does not concern the present in any way that matters.

          So the present ignores it, till it’s too late.

      There should be a three century minimum for being a country. Otherwise you’re just a mature settler colony.

        Sounds good. Because USA is not going to last 3 centuries. They are imploding before our very eyes.

        1776 1876 1976 2076

        Think they’ll last 50 more years? Trump is single-handedly causing its collapse.

          I mean, the 90s were kind of nice in the USA. There was a real optimism for the future. We were gonna solve racism, we were gonna democratize information, we were going to judge everyone on the content of their character. Technology was always going to improve. We were gonna cure cancer, for God’s sake.

          Then Social Media happened in the 2000s. So much for that…

            That was some good propaganda in the 90’s. Now we are stuck with windmills cause cancer and woke ruined our country.

            Laughs in literalist:
            “There was a point in recent history that a significant portion of the population, with enough sampling from ethnic subgroups, had decent opportunity to eke out a comfortable living. Those days that burn fresh in memory, are seemingly gone.”

              so there’s a line that’s defines “significant?”

              because yeah. 40 years ago houses were affordable. but govs were still fire bombing city blocks in philly because some brown people upset them.

                Really bad, but the difference is the volume and scale. US government oppressing ethnic minorities is a horrible act, but not a new one. US government deliberately oppressing a large fraction of the majority is.

                Doesn’t make it better or worse, but it is a marked shift

                  right. thats my point. there isn’t a scale such as a binary, thus it has never been a “good” (as in healthy) nation, in its black and white (again a binary) form.

                  i’m just trying to push a rhetoric that stops folks from pining for day bygone that were better. they have never been better, just different

    I believe this is what the kids call “cringe.” Seriously though, I’d be embarrassed for him if I didn’t wish he’d just drop dead.

    Boy, Biden really lives rent-free in Trump’s head.

    Most people, if they even thought of putting something like that up, would be worried that they would be branding themselves as a desperate loser.

        Donald Trump, to me at least, seems like a very simple person. I have found that I can predict a lot of what he’ll do by just keeping in mind that he’s an egotistical simpleton who wants people to worship him. He doesn’t care about anybody but himself, and he doesn’t think very far into the future. But he gets hung up on the past a lot.

        Biden beat him. There was a popularity contest, and America picked Biden. Biden has never lost to Trump, except one debate that most people forgot about already. That’s something that Trump will never be able to change.

        Trump probably thinks of the shooter as a loser who couldn’t even hit what he was aiming at. If anything, the shooting made Trump more popular. Trump won and the shooter lost.

    His Afghanistan Disaster… was among the most humiliating events in American History, and resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers

    13 American soldiers have have died in the totally well thought out, well executed, well justified Iran war, too. Kind of ironic if you ask me

        Had to Google what they actually say about Trump and Biden. This article made it sound slightly biased plus the petty ”Sleepy Joe” part. The plaques are in fact hilarious, on par with a Trump tweet in their tone, entirely biased, mostly fictional. This to me is one of the top pettiest things he has done, since it’s a plaque in an official government building.
