Now i'm witnessing what's happening last few years (NIGHTMARE years now) I believe i've witnessed how a beautiful democratic most powerful country in the WORLD can be turned into the WORST most powerful country in the world, by the monsters controlling EVERY branch of Government. Somehow we have to get these monsters out of country.. It's up to true Americans to save America!

Genocide, slavery, theft of lands and resources, preventing countries from determining their own fate, coups, death squads……all so corporations could increase their wealth and power..

The shit done to our own people in this “free, beautiful” country the whole time is just as bad.

All Piss has done is thrown off the veil, this is what this country has always been.

It just seems new because liberal white people are finally seeing what it’s been like for everyone else all this time.

This meme sums it up perfectly.

I grew up in the same era as bluestarone, and was simply unaware of the conditions you describe.

Not asking for a pass; the previous generations should have corrected these things.

Speaking as a (now old) white guy.

how good things were before, even though there was obviously a lot of room for improvement.

If we ever get back to a thriving democracy in my lifetime, I will never take it for granted again.

At some point, after other countries get rid of their investments in the US, they will turn away from the dollar and use other currencies. Stupid Trump thinks Putin is a partner but he will tank the US economy by forcing alliances away from the US.

They refuse to see what they are and what they are doing.
That’s the big challenge.
