    If it makes anyone feel better, this country was always garbage.

    We transitioned from slavery to Jim crow to undocumented immigrants as our intentional underclass to abuse for private profiteers we’ve always had.

    We use our military to destabilize entire nations to further the economic interests of our profiteers.

    Hell, we fucking loved and practiced eugenics prior to world war 2, and only entered the war after the war came to us and blew up our pacific fleet. That’s just fighting back.

    Literally a nation built on a giant genocide graveyard.

    I could write pages.

    I’ll keep voting for least worst so I can look myself in the mirror as always, but the sad truth is, Garbage person Trump represents the United States Perfectly. He is a monument to all our sins, especially glorifying greed.

      The US is still practicing eugenics. Ignoring COVID while supporting DeSantis style COVID control is eugenics.

        I mean yeah, but I was referring more to the literal sterilization of supposed undesirables, which we did both prior to and even for some time after WW2 in some of the asylums/prisons of the time.
