"The United States was built on slavery" is a silly premise even if it was objectively true (it's not). It asserts the idea that the only way any accomplishments that were (allegedly) done by slavery would not have been possible without slavery. If a specific building was created with the use of slave labor, it is not as if it would be impossible to create that same building in the absence of slave labor.

Both my dad and my mother-in-law/father-in-law give me a window in the perceptions of the older generations. They are right in the older demographic conservative voters that are capable of having hope that "Trump is going to get things done and fix America."

I wish I could share that optimism. But I cannot, knowing what I know of our country and understanding that unlike them, I am going to have to face whatever happens to the US in the coming years of hard times.

Hearing state run media NPR go all in on "we have to uphold the constitution" on the 14th amendment, I recall quite the opposite response in regards to the 2nd amendment from these faggots.

Birth right citizenship should not be granted to those who are not supposed to be here, as I would argue such people are not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." But we all know the Left wants more voters, so they will argue against this on that basis alone.

Saw one of those "JewBelong" billboards recently. It said "Hamas is your problem too."

Excuse me, but last I checked I am nowhere near Israel, and I call bullshit on the "Hamas terrorists crossing the southern border" story. So no, they are not my problem. I am not going to entertain anymore neocon bullshit about how we have to fight wars in the Middle East because "Terrorists hate the US because of our freedom!"

Not going to watch any of the inauguration, but I think it would be hilarious if Trump said, Joe Biden, you're fired!"

>"While we are disappointed that U.S. EPA was unable to act on all the requests in time, the withdrawal is an important step given the uncertainty presented by the incoming administration that previously attacked California’s programs to protect public health and the climate and has said will continue to oppose those programs."

How convenient that they can claim that they are only withdrawing due to the Evil Orange Man instead of admitting the policy was retarded.

I don't see myself being personally affected by with the TikTok ban. I don't use the platform and don't have a strong desire to do so.

What I expect to happen is what is already happening with RedNote. That is, the users on TikTok will just go to another platform. Or go to a number of many others.

The boomers trying to ban TikTok really show their tech incompentence by their attempts to drown out any wrongthink. They target TikTok without knowing why people went there in the first place.

Looking back at the "White Dudes for Harris" thing, it is pretty clear that it was conceptualized by someone with an effeminate mindset. And I don't jusy mean that in the sense of the "men" who were pushing it, but more so the idea that white males would be convinced to vote for Harris because of social pressures. It should have been clear that every attempt at social pressure from the left has failed, so this attempt would not work either.
