'Murica got exactly what' Murica deserved

There are awful, powerful people in the background pulling the levers of power, but this isn't new

It has always been fucked. It wasn't founded on the ideals of freedom or anything noble

It was stolen, then built with slavery, and that slavery was just rebranded as capitalism so white people would buy into it, so long as they still felt superior to everyone else

The cruelty and greed have always been the defining characteristics

Trump embodies the USA and is the direct result we could only get from our two party system.

That's why I don't necessarily blame one person here. George Carlin said it best. Selfish ignorant people vite for selfish ignorant leaders. If it wasn't him it'd be someone else. The problem isn't one person, it's that such a massive amount of voters are selfish and willfully ignorant.

You mean rich white guys who didn't want to pay taxes. I'm shocked America turned out the way it did.
