    Feel like some on this site are too young remember but Americans (or Democrats) have gotten more racist and conservative in the past 25 years, or at least have dropped any facade of having values that would now be considered ‘progressive’

    The daily show was nothing but anti-iraq and afghanistan war propaganda all throughout the 2000s. Bush and Cheney being war criminals was an accepted fact among democrats but Trump pulled the Democrats way right.

    Not to say they didn’t hold those views out of pure partisanship but I’ve personally witnessed all Americans become way more racist since 2016.

    Every 4 years it’s “this is the most important election of our lifetime” but now it actually feels like it. It’s different than any other election in my lifetime.

    beyond parody lol

    McCain was a fucking racist bastard piece of shit and comrade tumor should have killed him earlier. “McCain remembered fascism” yeah, he was a proponent you fucking baby brains! He dispensed high explosive incendiary fascism! Fucker should’ve died in his crash (on his 23rd bomber mission terrorizing vietnam for a fascist regime!).

    God I hate this fucking state, hate white liberals, hate reddit-logo . There’s a huge population of palestinians (and arab americans in general) in MI yet not a mention of the ongoing genocide in the thread

      wdym shouldn’t all Republicans openly advocate for dropping nukes on Iran when we’re not even directly at war with them, but at war with their prime adversary in the region? It’s the P R E S I D E N T I A L thing to do. Trump thought we should use our nuclear arsenal on a hurricane!

    You’d think the fact that the demoncrats have gone so far right that they now appeal to someone who grew up listening to limbaugh and voted for trump would make someone ask some questions but naaaah
