A black man was worth 3/5 of a white man
Women did not count
Children worked as slaves
Brown people didn't matter
Yellow people did not exist
and Red people were hunted

Trump wishes to be the richest and most powerful man in the world and this is the way he can do it.
2. Putin wishes to destroy the US and making it a third world country serves that purpose.

Like literally *ALL* of our current problems can be traced back to the billionaire criminal class. There's 700 of them. There's 320 million of us. We are better than these fucking scumbags.

The world's billionaires and fascist leaders have united.
They are done with democracy, human rights and the middle class.

(101,900 posts)I wonder what it's going to take to get this country to wake the fuck up? The economy is in shambles *BECAUSE* of these scumbags, and they have us fighting a culture war so we don't discover who the real bad guys are.

(57,309 posts)We have seen the US guardrails and all branches of government and Americans all fold like lawn chairs.
Currently we see everyone kissing the ring of the Dear Leader.
Americans are still in shock and denial. Others are just scrambling to survive.
Getting vaccines, medication and surgery now while they still can.
Cutting back on expenses, finding new sources of income.
Trying to protect vulnerable family members.
What will it take? I don't know.
The Japanese and German people didn't figure it out until the Allies had bombed their countries back
to the Stone Age, and allied troops were pointing guns at them.
