I appreciate your perspective, but I have to respectfully disagree on several points.
First, the phrase "Make America Great Again" has indeed become more than a movement—it often displays cult-like behavior, especially in how it disregards factual information and embraces conspiracy theories. The fervent loyalty to Trump, despite numerous ethical and legal controversies, is a testament to this.
Second, regarding Ukraine, it's not merely about financial aid. It's about supporting a sovereign nation against unprovoked aggression, which is crucial for global stability. The argument that half of Ukraine leans towards Russia is a misconception. Ukrainians have overwhelmingly shown their desire for independence and closer ties to Europe. And remember, now EU is sending more aid to Ukraine than US, plus most of the money are ending up in America weapon factories, same in Europe. War is also a business, America is a capitalism, don’t forget that.
Russia and China do have significant internal issues, but dismissing their international ambitions is naive. Their actions have global repercussions, and their alliances and strategies must be countered thoughtfully.
The FBI and other governmental institutions, while not perfect, are essential for maintaining law and order. Blanket statements about bureaucratic nightmares often oversimplify complex issues. Instead of reducing the size of the government arbitrarily, we should focus on improving efficiency and accountability.
Regarding the Biden administration, there have been challenges, but it's essential to consider the context of a global pandemic and the preceding administration's policies. Criticism is valid, but it must be balanced with an understanding of the complexities involved in governance. And Trump bankrupt most of his businesses, he bankrupted casinos, a fucking casinos!🤔😱How the hell you can bankrupt casino?! He is lousy businessman, I met him personally in late 90s when I was living in NYC twice. He was terrible jerk back then, overconfident, narcissistic, discriminating jerk.
Anyway, The issue of illegal immigration is multifaceted, and while border security is important, a compassionate and comprehensive approach is necessary. Similarly, economic challenges are real, but they are influenced by global factors beyond any single administration's control.
Lastly, while it's great that your ancestors found a better life in America, it's essential to recognize that this nation has thrived because of its diversity and openness. Patriotism means holding our country to high standards, not turning a blind eye to its flaws or oversimplifying complex issues.
Let's strive for informed and nuanced discussions, recognizing that the future of our nation depends on constructive dialogue and mutual respect. Peace to you too.
Here is my take on the commie-nazi cult/ideology. Let me start with this: I was born in Poland and lived through communism, witnessing terrible things. I watched communism collapse in Poland and hate it with the same passion as Nazism/fascism. We Poles were the first to fight Nazis and commies. They actually attacked us together from two sides and split Poland apart. Did you ever hear about the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact? Well, it was a pact between the Soviet Union/Stalin and Nazi Germany/Hitler to work together to take over Poland. They did this, and then Hitler felt too powerful and decided to invade the Soviet Union (the worst decision of his life).
Anyway, Putin is an old communist, an ex-KGB officer, but also an admirer of the old Russian Empire before the Red Revolution. He wants to revive some new form of communism and the Russian empire with elements of fascism – some new insane utopia. While MAGA cultists in America are definitely racist, almost like Nazis/fascists, they also really like Putin's ideas. I believe that the commie-nazi cult is a combination/hybrid of the worst elements of Nazism/fascism and communism combined, plus Christofascist evangelical cults. It's a new monster, a Medusa which I call the commie-nazi cult.
Many people think that these two ideologies can't work together and be combined. We live in a different century; old rules don’t apply anymore. Everything is possible. That’s why we're witnessing the birth of a commie-nazi powered MAGA cult. And do you know what Putin’s plan is? It's almost the same as Hitler's plan. He's been working on it since the collapse of communism in 1989. The MAGA cult is his work. When America is weakened from within by the Russia-loving MAGA cult, then Putin will try to destroy America, probably together with China. He hates America and has manipulated and brainwashed the dumb, far-right American conservatives to the point that they believe and support Putin and Russia but not their own first-line defenders like the FBI, CIA, DHS, or NSA🤦🏻♂️
Don’t you really see this happening? If not, I don’t know what to say. Remember, I am a foreigner who has lived in America for 27 years, but I lived under Russian oppression for decades. I know Russians, communism, and Nazism very well. I know my history, I speak and read Russian, and I have Russian friends. I know things that Americans don’t understand. As I mentioned before, the commie-nazi cult was born and is now growing. We need to stop it before it's too late!
I think I just articulated something that I've been trying to get out for years—just now, I was telling a friend about what I've been going through, and he said "but I ain't worried about you. You got this."
I paused, and said, "....worry about me a little bit."
Look what we found! JD Vance really tried to pull this video from the internet?
"My worry with Trump is that political rhetoric actually really matters. People follow the rhetoric of their politicians."
"I continue to worry about that." —JD Vance, Feb. 3, 2017
Is anyone else googling countries that speak English and are affordable to live in besides me? I’ve never been so scared in all of my life as to what’s going to happen in November. I will not live in a country that’s ran by Donald. I won’t do it.
@TheJeditor Broken crayons, remote to some device from 1998, elastics, a couple of un sharpened pencils and pens with no ink. Oh, and don’t forget some ketchup packets!
Should Americans be traumatized by the happenings at the trump rally, or should Americans just pretend it was an elementary school and get over it?
Asking for a Nation tired of double standards.
@heymrsbond middle school. Possibly high school but I’m leaning toward Middle. If you taught elementary there would be more primary colors in your outfits and someone would have a ponytail on top of their head
@DrMuellersVoice @Huskerrah same. It’s Monday and I’m awake at 4 AM because I have to teach today. In the summer I sleep normally and wake up at a sensible time, regardless of the job I’m doing or my tasks for the day.
@Spasesrun @Barry4the44th@CollinRugg YES!!!! I have worked with students with disabilities for years… We KEEP the expectation & provide support to help them meet it. Anything less is failing the child.
