This nation used to kill fascists
Very briefly, in between enriching them.
And let's be honest, not because they were fascists.
The US sold weapons of war to both sides until it became untenable. We're NOT a good nation - never have been. Never will be.
Don't put the curse of, "never will be," on us
I'll be honest our trajectory isn't looking great
It's not impossible, but we're going to need some great big ground-up restructuring if we want that to be the case.
This nation used to kill the "wrong" fascists.
Franco survived the war just fine.
Right. It's just the ones they can't control.
More discreet fascists be like, "why did you have to go and murder millions of people and bring the heat on us? We've got a good thing going here!"
We also used to be staunchly anti-Russia. Truman would be so disappointed in the current Republican Party.
Fucking Nixon would probably be disappointed in the current GOP, he was an awful man but even a noted doctor of journalism called out how much worse they had gotten since then and that was 20 years ago
Three people tweeted? Seriously, that is the shaming?
“Shamed” fucking lol
