That's what the left is trying to do here.We will no longer be seen as "The land of the free and the home of the brave". We'll be seen as corrupt with "systemic racism" and oppressive capitalism. We have to destroy that. Then, the left will impose THEIR vision of what we must be-you know-like Russia, China or maybe Cambodia. and I guarantee most of you won't like it.

But it will be too late.

We haven’t hit yet. But the only way to get there is through the system of government our founders formed.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Ronald Reagan

We used to be Americans

We're now a culture of hyphenated subdivisions, identified by some characteristic nobody should really give a shit about... with "victimhood" as the badge of our virtue... with everyone at everyone else's throats because they aren't getting enough victim-love.

I miss the days where men were actual men.

Lol at "we used to be Americans".....except the fact America made black people not Americans for 400 years. When was this "used to" period? We've always been a country separated.

The national anthem was not made with black people in mind!! That is fact!

When was America the land of the free? When? It's been a lie forever!

Which is of course why your parents struggled to immigrate to this horrible place, bringing you here as a child.

Let’s say that take is accurate. Wouldn’t it be that they were British and not because they’re black?

Amazing what you can think of when race is not the first issue
