      Get your head out of your ass you bootlicker.

      Reported for ad hominem.

      Every Right wing administration in the last 100 years has sank the economy vs the dem party. That’s a fact.

      Did I ever imply otherwise? More relevantly, do I sound like I care?

      Trump was handed a gift, TWICE, and turned it into a steaming pile of shit

      Yes, the gift of unpopular wars, wildly expanded executive power, a massive surveillance state, backlash to ineffectual neoliberal rule, etc. The march towards fascism started with either Reagan or Nixon, and not with Trump. Trump took a society teetering on the edge of fascism and gave it the final push it needed to fall in.

          And yet you’re the one who cancelled his comment. Pray tell, is it not true that the rise in American authoritarianism started in the late 60es, when the government started to act in spite of what public opinions thought about its action in foreign countries and wars? If not, can you please post any proof supporting this thesis of yours? Because it’s sure as he’ll that I, as many others, will never take your word for granted if you aren’t able to support it with factual information.

          Take your head out if your ass and realise that American (like most of us in the “developed” world) have been bought with pearls and trinkets to subdue their reasoning capabilities and voices to capitalism and its venomous fruits. The sooner you accept this ACTUAL FACT the sooner you can start fighting the good fight against capitalism and its cronies (who may also be your friends and family; not all capitalists drive around in nice cars or live in big villas. Most of them are “momentarily embarrassed billionaires” or delusional victims as I like to call them)

            1. I didn’t cancel anything, that’s weird to even say.
            2. I provided no such thesis whatsoever in the first place, your just talking…
            3. I have no illusions about America. But I do have opinions.

              Then your comment was such a load of shit that it was removed from a moderator. Either way the original comment we were replying to is no longer with us so I cannot tell the point you were arguing about in it, I inferred its contents from the first reply by NoneOfUrBusiness and the citations he provided with it.

              Furthermore your reply to NoneOfUrBusiness answer to your original post was just a “no, you’re wrong and I’m right”. Such a level of discussion, you must be a sage in your community. If your community is a kindergarden .

              Lastly you can have opinions, too bad they are shit opinions not supported by facts
