    Whats worse is they wouldn’t even have funding right now if not for the fact that they used reconciliations to ammend the budget a few weeks ago. Every Single Republican has to go.

        Let’s be realistic about possible outcomes, Trump won with a plurality and for all their evil there are even worse external threats to the nation. We couldn’t do that if we tried and the left isn’t real big on capital punishment to begin with.

            burn this country down

            And in the process you burn down dozens of other countries by leaving Russia and China unchecked, starting with Ukraine and Taiwan and spreading outwards from there. Like it or not, reform is the only way forward with any chance of freedom and democracy winning.

              If thats what you think, I’m not wasting anymore breath on you then. Dozens of other countries would flourish and finally have the boot off its neck. America isn’t exceptional, it’s just delusional.

                It will be hard for you to find an American, even a “leftist” one, who will vocally and visibly agree with you. The inculcation is too deep and too early.

                All the justifications I read for keeping the boot in place is, incredibly, to keep a worse boot from presumably replacing it. What an argument.

                  Anecdotally I’m an American who agrees. Our culture needs to adapt. To be fair, the internet informs me that I’m not a true leftist because I don’t want to keep putting pigs in charge of the farm.

                What the ICE is doing now is what China has been doing to its people for the better part of a century. Where the ICE are failing to commit a genocide, China succeeded in Xinjiang and Tibet.

                No one will “flourish” under that.

          He didn’t win anything, he cheated, and EVERYBODY knows it. We just have a severely mentally-ill nation who refuses to look at it.
