In reply to the discussion: Is America still worth fighting for? Are we just wasting our time? [View all]OldBaldy1701E

Okay, fine. I can see that.
So, if this is the case, the we need to STOP WITH ALL THE PROPAGANDA SAYING THAT IT WILL!!!
Enough with the 'greatest country in the world' crap. Enough with the 'American Dream' bullshit. Stop with the 'anyone can be blah blah blah.'
It is all a lie. Stop supporting it. Stop spreading it. This delusion is part and parcel to why we are where we are. If we would stop with the dick waving and bragging we might be able to get a handle on things.
Of course, Americans LOVE to brag and dick wave, so I don't know what to do about this... and apparently neither does anyone else.

I think the alternative is worse -- giving up. One has to prioritize one's actions.

Rule of law doesn't matter anymore. Education doesn't matter anymore. Facts don't matter anymore.

Yeah, you're probably right. Let's just give up and wait for the interment camps and execution squads, eh?
