@FlowerFreak3 @MarshaBlackburn Isn't it interesting. That chart shows that every single time Dems were in charge, they brought the deficit down. Every time the GOP was in charge, it burgeoned rapidly. The most rapidly--and the highest--under trump.
GOP radical right wingers really take the cake
@AesPolitics I believe he helped get America moving itself back on track, but we still have a long way to go. I'll be more confident after the midterm election awards him ww/an INCREASE in Dems in the House and Senate. Then he cd put his major agenda items to good use. I am still terrified.
@RossKneeDeep Not in the least. And I was really pissed off at all the people who cried about "individual freedom" when THEIR individual freedom put other people at risk.
@bigmacmcneely Yes. But mine is better supported by facts than your take is.
Everyone is indeed entitled to their opinion. But but some are better than others because they are better supported by facts, research (both book and interpersonal), logic, and the basic rules of rationality.
@bigmacmcneely Saying they were better off under colonialism is like telling blacks they were better off under slavery.
That's a lie in both instances. It's a repetition of colonialist values. SMH so hard my neck needs a brace.
@bigmacmcneely I'd sure like to see you experience what it was like. But you can't even IMAGINE it. You won't do the work. You won't do the study. You pop cr*p off the top of your head with no real knowledge behind it.

@bigmacmcneely You don't get it bc you don't want to. Colonialism destroyed their cultures. Took their children. Hijacked their resources. Made them into servants of white people. Told them their cultures were evil & they were going to hell if they didn't submit to Jesus. WTF is wrong w/you?โก๏ธ
@bigmacmcneely The point about Jesis is that Jesus was used as a cudgel to beat them down. Better if they had left Jesus out of it, but they didn't. Gee I wonder why? Their idea of Jesus gave them permission to destroy them.
@bigmacmcneely Can you not see why hundreds of years of exploitation, harsh treatment, lack of self determination, and HADN'T forced a culture upon them that declared them less than human, & INCAPABLE of doing anything for themselves--can you not see the impact that would have on people?โก๏ธ
@bigmacmcneely ...hadn't destroyed families so they became nonfunctional. What if they treated natives the way Jesus admonished people to do instead of the opposite. What if the colonists had been HUMANE? Do you think the natives could possibly have learned how to govern themselves well?
