This is wrong but like in a really hilarious way so I thank you for the post

In those days most Americans contacted their Representatives, Senators, and the President about the economy, taxes, unemployment, social security and foreign policy. Today we take to the streets to show our concerns re: ICE tactics, food costs, healthcare,Trump crimes, abuse of power and corruption.
-
republicans have been waging war against americans for over a hundred years.
-
wow this take sure sucks ass
-
Vaguely. Seems so long ago.

Sorry, man, I was alive to see how we treated Muslim Americans (and those folks assumed were Muslim) after 9/11, let alone current and historical treatment of Black, Latino, Hispanic, Native, Japanese, Chinese, LGBTQ+ Americans

Well that's bullshit, the first colonisers waged war on the indigenous people, then came a few centuries of slavery followed by massacres of black people after liberation.

*white Americans

I’ve been beaten and gassed at protests on and off since 1999… I’m not sure what you mean.

Speaking as a queer:

That's right! An American Government could never be moved to bomb, say, Philadelphia.

Trump basically is a lunatic.
-

-
We at least not publicly. They keep it on the down low.
-
Bless you, Sonny. I'm actually 89 in Trump exhaustion years.

Seems a lot of Americans have forgotten that point but im sure denying food aid and Healthcare etc is maybe just maybe bringing it back into their short memories

War on Drugs (1970s to present), War on Terror (2002 to present). All started by Republicans and enthusiastically adopted by Democrats.

Well tell that to Anwar al-Awlaki and his completely innocent American children.

A lovely idea but sadly it's what American governments excel at. Indigenous peoples, civil wars, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic background, political views & frankly anything that can be used to leverage power. Distract & rob. The American Scheme.

*or befriend dictators
-
you must be too young to remember COINTELPRO and the war on drugs.

Blair Mountain, two Red Scares, COINTELPRO, Japanese internment, widespread labor and dissent repression during the world wars

TFW you've never been on the receiving end of government oppression in America before.

America has always mistreated its black citizens. This is not new behavior.
-
Every marginalized group and historical labor organization in the country would beg to differ. Not to mention all the land of the country came from waging war against Indigenous Americans.
Shorter list to say when the govt wasn't at war with some part of it's citizenry

Ummmm...

I'm old enough to know that Presidents have often done this, just not to those who resembler the presidents.
Good grief, what an ignorant take.
-
This one is as anti-American as it gets. Pure pathology.
-
I have to remind my children who are now in college that this is not normal. They only know The After Times.
-
...all of American history disagrees.

Two rather significant exceptions: massacred indigenous peoples and herding survivors into camps and the Civil War.

The only difference is that they're doing it openly now. But you're wrong otherwise.

What about drugs? There was a whole thing about drugs.

Labor and drugs

You mean affluent white people because I remember the Move bombings and I can look at a long history of violence against black, brown, and Asian people in this country. There's also union people, the whole working class, and anyone left of a Democrat.
Its "different" now. Wonder why(te)?
