They cheer violence done to those they didn't like, and act shocked if it's done to one of their own, actually.

They blame all violence on the left. Even the violence being done by ICE is the left's fault, you see, because the left "made them do it".

Absolutely! And that's why I won't give up hope.

To live in a society that grants you that right is a privilege. So, no, the headline is correct.

American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.

Don't get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won't do ~~anything~~ much to address the root issues, I'm afraid.

Edit: changed a word

Huh, don't know what to tell you. Just tested the link and it worked for me.

This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of "our proper place".

The word fraud is almost always used in a legal context, but technically it's just the noun describing the act, while the word defraud is the verb designating the act of committing fraud.

But, I like your explanation, cause it's stone and concise!

Legally, no. Which of course is the most common way to interpret that word.

Did he defraud the dealership? Absolutely! And frankly, good for him. The market for buying new cars in our country is one of the more exploitative systems that our society has managed to create, and that's saying something.
