This, rightfully, should be the United States' eternal shame.
Nobody should ever, ever let us live this down, no matter how much time passes or how good our behavior on it's face may seem.
The genocide of native americans and slavery of black people are the unchallenged, most shameful acts of the US. Nothing will ever top that. I hate to break it to you: the treatment and negative opinions of canadians by US policies is a footnote compared to chattel slavery and genocide—neither of which targeted white Canadians. Do not ever let yourself again believe otherwise.
I didn't say it was the only thing we have to be ashamed of. The rest of the world shouldn't let us forget our flirtation with fascism.
Again, enslaving people in some of the worst conditions imaginable and committing literal genocide is worse than some politicians having bad options.
Two things can be bad at the same time.
I'm not convinced y'all won't swing just as hard to the right in a couple elections
The system is designed so that we will. Democrats are successfully capturing and stopping social movements as is their purpose. We'll get a few years of incompetence from them before we're back to finding new ways to go even further right.
Neither am I. Seems the electorate have the collective memory of a goldfish. If the Democrats operate by their usual playbook and simply do nothing, then the absolute best we can hope for is barely squeaking out a win in 2028, which will be meaningless if nothing significant is accomplished with enough time for people to feel it's effects. Republicans love to take control just before things start to get better, so it's important to make sure people feel those effects well before the next election cycle so that not only do Dems have something to point to and say "look, we made things better!" but also the hopefully incoming democrat administration will be able to continue the good work and actually improve on it.
If the Democrats fuck this up like they are planning to, it will be in 2028.
sure seems like it's going to happen. and when it does, we will deserve to be shamed for it
It's the most likely outcome.
Given a lot of stuff from the past no one seems to care about, I seriously doubt that will happen.
