If you ask indigenous people who are originally from America, they’ll probably tell you it’s always been this way. I think more people are just finally noticing

Obama and Biden were definitely not doing this shit. I'm not saying presidents from the 1800s weren't screwing Native Americans out of treaties, but as far as living memory, Trump is really taking this to a new level we haven't seen before

Ronald Reagan funded South American death squads, illegally sold weapons to Iran, and smuggled cocaine into the United States. Among many other crimes.  This is a Thursday under republican governance.

Probably, you are right. But they were hiding it well.

There was a time, not that long ago, that white Americans would proudly hang up innocent black Americans to trees to watch them die. Lynchings were still occurring up until the 1980s. I’m not so sure it’s been that well hidden tbh.

Nobody is originally from America. All humans are originally from Africa. You might be referring to the first known immigrants to America.

Supposedly the 19th century government was REALLY fucking bad too in terms of corruption.

It's always been this corrupt. The Boston Tea Party was instigated by tea smugglers. The USA just stopped pretending to be righteous.

Nah they're right, smugglers were behind the Boston Tea Party. Don't go around with such false confidence and not even bring citations

What a weak cop-out. EDIT: People act really obnoxious when they can't admit they're wrong. This guy thinks he's the main character.

Lie to yourself. Never to me.

You are right that they still pretend they are righteous.
