Johnson then wrote that he worries that “our culture has fallen so far” since the United States’ founding in 1776. “I fear America may be beyond redemption,” he adds.Since 1776? The year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? I would think America got quite a bit better since then. I can think of just a few things that have made it better like:
If Mike Johnson sees these things as a decline of the United States since the Declaration of Independence, he is saying he is seeing other besides white men gaining the ability to vote as a bad thing.
Republicans, your chosen Speaker of the House sees the Constitution of the United States as a negative thing!
Back in the good ol' days where you were committed to a mental institution if found masterbating.
If you were a man. Women were committed over far less
I was just listening to the recent Behind the Bastards episodes on the Holy Roller cult from Oregon in 1900 and those motherfuckers were having women committed for refusing to wear a hat/cover their hair.
Another wild ride from the good reverend doctor. These sex cults are just weird yet still so predictable. Outside of the pet and potential toddler burning.
