    Trump is the most American man I have ever scene. From his politics, to his arrogance, to his attitude, to his ignorance. He is not some kind of anti-American devil that the liberals claim he is. In the eyes of 7.4 billion people who don’t live in the western world, he is just as unscrupulous and murderous as his predecessor in the oval office. Removing Trump isn’t going to solve the problem. Removing the system that creates Trump will.

    Been saying this. The next shift that needs to happen as it pertains to consciousness in the US is the realization that the Dems don’t disagree with what he’s doing, they just think he’s taking it too far.

    I think what’s most harmful in popular discourse currently is the assumption that the Dems are on the people’s side. It frames the conversation as Dems failing to react & “save” marginalized populations, not that they also represent the capitalist class & march to the same orders.

      This can’t be overstated, and I fervently wish friends and neighbors could get a clue

    Pay attention to what the Dems say. It’s never “we shouldn’t invade other countries”, it’s always “we shouldn’t UNCONSTITUTIONALLY invade other countries.”

    Which is another way of saying “we weren’t told about this before bad we couldn’t wet our beaks with those defense contractors”
