A country for REAL (white Christian male) Americans.

When are you people going to get the message. It was never a country that was about equality. It was about enrichment for a select group of people. When their privilege was threatened, the veil came off.

None of this changes until the rest of America decides enough is enough. That might never happen. If it does, it won't be for years or decades.

The US died on Jan 20th, 2025.

I'd argue Johnson sealed our fate when he rolled over for Confederates after the war.

But really the argument could bemade that the moment European explorers realized they could just kill people and take their homes away and nobody would stop them, they decided to make it a core part of their identity by rationalizing everything they can, and dismissing whatever they can't.

The devil works hard, but colonizers work harder.
