Top five greatest moral failures in American history [View all]

In no particular order, here are mine:

- Slavery

- Segregation

- Jim Crow

- Internment of Japanese Americans during World War II

- Allowing someone unqualified and chosen by a minority of the voters to reshape our judiciary with corrupt and illegitimate people who’ve no problem taking people’s freedoms away, and pregnant women dying, elected officials trying to overrule their constituents and hide data on the deaths of pregnant women over the loss of their freedoms; while the same one let hundreds of thousands of Americans just die in an epic mishandling of a deadly pandemic and inciting insurrection in protest of an election he knew he lost, but his ego was too large to publicly admit. One of his co-branches of government acquitted him despite admitting his guilt, while cla court system failed to hold him accountable over insurrection, failed to sentence him over his convicted felonies and dismissed a case against him in which he knowingly kept top secret documents which weren’t his.

And despite all of this, and Presidential historians ranking him the worst of all time, 76 million people decided they wanted more because, ‘the price of eggs,’ was too much, while all too happy to pay more in tariffs, as holiday travel and shopping increased this year. And as a result that so many couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a person of color, they’ll give the opportunity for the felon to do even more damage and commit who knows what kind of crimes while he and his billionaire buddies pillage the country for their own benefit starting in January.

Well, those are my top five greatest moral failures in this country’s history. What are yours?
