Yeah, as an American amongst Americans, this country shits out fucking idiot pieces of shit full of hate and selfishness
Clown Population
Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a "basket case of clowning around" on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.
People like to play a game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It's the entire population of Untied States of America.
I blame the heritage foundation
Was there a particular set of years when it wasn't those things?
1981
... which must have come as a surprise to all the slaves, natives, the lynched, internment camps & private prisons residents, etc.
Reagan... that checks out.
The problem is that a lot of the people that believe this, were told by almost everyone in their life that the reason they're miserable is because of immigration or those uppity black folk, not because of poverty.
They're cheering right now because from their perspective, they're finally seeing something being done about the root of their problems.
They think that after this business is done, they're going to live in 1950s post-war America rather than 1950s post-war Germany.
During their "golden age" millionaires were taxed at over 80% and there was Jim Crow. They think bringing back Jim Crow will fix things, but they ignore the idea of taxing the rich.
"I realized that the roots of this act were not in any time-honored American myth but right beneath my feet in a new kind of society that is only beginning to take shape. To see the Hell's Angels as caretakers of the old "individualist" tradition "that made this country great" is only a painless way to get around seeing them for what they really are — not some romantic leftover, but the first wave of a future that nothing in our history has prepared us to cope with. The Angels are prototypes. Their lack of education has not only rendered them completely useless in a highly technical economy, but it has also given them the leisure to cultivate a powerful resentment… and to translate it into a destructive cult..." - Hunter S. Thompson, Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga (1967)

I been saying this shit since the 90s. Just cause it’s words on a screen doesn’t mean there wasn’t a person behind them. We created an unimaginable power then unleashed it on unprepared masses who simply can’t handle it.
I helped a woman on crutches to the car with her food the other day. Three people told me what a good person I was when I came back.
That's just basic human decency. I didn't do anything special.
