This is what it takes sometimes. These people's hatred and intolerance was so strong, they literally had to be forced at gunpoint into doing the right thing.

Eisenhower had many faults, but at least he knew how to deal with situations like this.

I'm actually kinda shocked he's still around. I was a young teenager when I was watching Ray's stuff.

Me: This is America.

Lonely is right.

The amount of respect that I've lost for my family over the past decade is immeasurable. They taught me right from wrong, and now they're surprised that I think differently from them. My brother is the only one I'm still close with; everyone else I've been keeping at increasingly large distances. I used to call Mom almost every day, and now I'm lucky if I call her once a week.

Man, Smedley Butler underwent a hell of an arc.

I've started to notice that this particular brain rot is becoming more and more common among Democrats as well. To a distressing number of people I've encountered on the Internet, be it here, Reddit, or elsewhere, Democrats ran a perfect political campaign and their candidates and policy were flawless and above question, so it's entirely the fault of the voters that we got Trump again. Never mind that Democrats actively facilitated a genocide and largely ignored their base in favor of appealing to moderate Republicans who were never going to vote for them anyway.

The number of people in this country who are just incapable of seeing (much less understanding) any kind of nuance is dropping rapidly, even among demographics who should be aware of this trend.
