The True Red, White and Blue
Whether you are for Trump or not, he is the, in your face, truth about what has been the covert reality of America from day one.
America was never GREAT and never will be.
All political advances have been rooted in corruption, greed, racism, oppression, colonization, lies and indoctrination. (Pretty much like every other country!).
And before you point it out, I know there are countries where you’ll get your hand cut off for stealing etc., but at least there’s a certain transparentcy there, ya know where you’re at with those regimes.
America has always been about duping the people and now because Trump is too self-centered to play that game some people are starting to realize this.
Although Trump is a major piece of work, he is not the only questionable president. They all are!
Consider these points:
Guantanamo Bay: In existence since 2002. How is this legal?
Declaration of Independence: All men are created equal. How can you write a line like that when there is slavery and the indigenous population is being systematically eliminated? Enlightened founding fathers?
And what about women? It’s wasn’t just a sign of the times that women were ignored, there has never been a female president. How is this possible in a so called democratic country?(Not that I hold out any hope for change with a female in office, but still, come on. It’s cringeworthy.)
America needs an enemy: For example, during the cold war it was communism, now it’s Islam. As far as I understand, military spending is the second largest item in the federal budget.
In God We Trust: If the motto of America is to trust in God, why is there such a glorification of and an emphasis on war? Why nuclear weapons? Which God are we talking about?
Terrorism: Was not the Boston Tea Party and act of terrorism against the British? A criminal act? A riot? Why is that acceptable in the eyes of “decent” Americans? Terrorism is terrosim, rioters are rioters, criminal behavoir is criminal behavoir. OR? (an added thought: why were some of them dressed as Indians?)
America was created out of the desire for freedom of oppression: And then what happened?
Pilgrims were refugees: Lucky for them, but not the locals, they didn’t have to go through any asylum seeking process.
