Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
So at the very least, one would think there would be some sort of consequences for the plain fact that Trump's thugs keep blatantly lying.
Furure sociologists are going to be spending entire careers trying to sort out how the US went so badly wrong.
I've spent a lot of time researching and asking that same question, and I feel like I've got a pretty good idea of the answer: Corporate propaganda created in direct response to the civil rights movement which portrayed corporations as the victims of democracy, in order to frame their future attacks on democracy as defensive and justified actions.
SCOTUS deciding faceless and unaccountable corporations were people via Citizens United then helped turbo charge that shit into the dystopia we see before us today.
While Feulner was focused on economic conservativism, the co-creator of Heritage, (Paul Weyrich, architect of the new right who coined the term "Moral Majority"), was obsessed with social conservativism. Weyrich used a similar strategy to create the social movement that convinces poor people vote against their own interests, and hand control to corporations and elite pedophiles with the promise of an eventual return of American society to a utopia that never actually existed:
Even before the civil rights movement, it's important to remember that democracy in America has been under constant attack by Oligarchs since the very beginning.
Those who have always relied on propaganda to distract from their own injustices by placing the blame for the problems they create, on people attempting to disturb what they view as a "natural order" that places them at the top of a heirarchy, resting on the shoulders of everyone else (mudsill theory).
When conservatives argue that the Constitution should be interpreted by its "original meaning," they are referring to an interpretation that favors this "natural heirarchy."
Ronald Reagan Ruined Everything.
I'm not an anarchist by chance.
Thanks for the response.
Excellent post. I look forward to diving into all the links later. Really great work. Thank you for taking the trouble to write this.
Evil prevails when good people do nothing.
The US is full of many good people who feel they can do nothing.
Hint: Reconstruction
This is pretty much it, a bunch of traitors were allowed to go home with their heads held high and start spinning tales of southern nobility. A lot of people should've hanged and a lot of land been given to freed peoples.
They just went home and made rascism and discrimination legal and enforceable. Some people will never willingly change.
A good reason for taking education out of the hands of the states, and federalizing it. 2+2=4, and CAT spells cat in every state in the Union, there is no need for each state to "tailor their educational systems to the needs of their state." Thats what allowed southern states to teach lies to their students, and radicalize generations of white supremacists. They have proven that they cannot be trusted to educate their children properly.
We need to create a Federal educational curriculum, one that acknowledges and properly teaches the indelible stains of slavery and the Native American Genocide, and mandate it be taught in every state in America.
We can change them. Into worm food.
Yeah damn, the trump presidency is the south rising again fuck
Furure sociologists are going to be spending entire careers trying to sort out how the US went so badly wrong.
Not really, we already know how the Nazis went so badly wrong, and the US is following basically the same path. The very wealthy are causing a massive redistribution of wealth, and using propaganda to convince Christians that its all somebody elses fault.
They are using that farmed hatred to drive Christians into fascism
Its the same playbook, and we already know how it works.
bloody inhumane masked deviants
Officer Christopher Mordino later wrote he believed Shah Alam intended to hurt police with his curtain rod.

Just read that sentence and see how utterly stupid and uneducated it sounds.
I wonder if officer Christopher Mordino's home address is a matter of public record
Huh — so what you’re saying is they lie about everything?
