I posted 6 words. you somehow didn't read half of them.

And to be honest, @Serinus@lemmy.world is probably right, since I was thinking of the broader surveillance world etc, not the current offensive by Russia against the world.

It's funny. We're awash in terrible things happening in and from America, but that isn't enough for the tankies. It's almost like they have an agenda.

America is doing terrible things at home and abroad, but that isn't enough for the tankies. They need us to have always been like this.

We haven't. This is the first time we've had a president that wasn't at least trying to do the right thing by his people, no matter how misguided.

I think even Reagan fully bought into the trickle down bullshit and thought he was doing the right thing for America and Americans by paving the way for corporate oligarchy.

I think W (from his perspective at the time) justified our invasion of Iraq with both liberating the people and reducing our reliance on Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The orange tyrant doesn't give that much of a fuck. He doesn't need to have anything sold to him other than his own name.

I see. I agree that Trump is different to the ones that came before (except Andrew Jackson) , and I agree that the tankies are trying to claim it's been like this, but this kind of shit has been pretty common in US history. And so has the opposite. Sometimes administrations are tainted by the populus or take wrong turns in otherwise good administrations, but there's usually some bullshit somewhere. Even people like FDR have things they fucked up.
