it never was… like most American things, it was always just marketing
Oh? Tell me about your country then.
There have always been issues. There was a lot of precursor to this. But there has never been anything this bad.
America was a beacon for the world, despite our violations and blemishes. Relative to the rest of history, we were leading the world ina better direction,.
Nixon was out after Watergate. You don't have to bribe our doctors or our cops during traffic stops. While we're having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That's our norm.
This is Idiocracy.
The CIA planted crack in black neighborhoods, the fbi killed all the civil rights leaders, our government injected black men with syphillis to see what happens,the end of Jim Crow just morphed into mass incarceration for black Americans, we committed a genocide on Native Americans, we have pedophiles running our government, we’ve destabilized hundreds of governments to plunder assets ……I could go on and on we’ve always been a fascist nation. For a moment I thought we might be improving but nope all hope is lost
Sounds like the UK.
Almost like both nations are colonial capitalist blights on the human species or something!
