The US hasn't been the same since that Covid Fiasco. Look up Agenda 2030, there's been a list of things that they want to implement in the future and that looks freakin concerning. Now is the best time to learn to heal, love and make some repairments in your relationships with your love ones because who knows what might happen. The future looks uncertain and were about to enter one huge sh1t storm.
America is like the parents of belligerent "I can take care of myself" teenagers. The only time it's cared about is when they need money.
No it hasn’t….ask any Tribal member, gay, Black, or woman. What makes a people great is admitting to their mistakes and errors, doing better in the future
America is a franchise, and always has been. First, we had Jeffersonian democracy, which was a farmers' market, then the Yankees took over when corporations were declared people. Today's franchise is that of Weapons Dealers, and the Chinese are buying the US out, dirt cheap if they can. If you consider McDonald's great, then America is great, and about to be sold dirt cheap. Our particular franchise resembles that of the Mafia, but isn't as well organized. Of course, like a criminal cartels and governments, our origins are those of whatever works, works, and explanations are for historians, who we can always censor. McDonald's still insists, their food is good healthy fun.
I think we've been relatively great, for most of our history, because of our history as a republic with a constitution that protects basic individual rights. I say this as a tribal member (Chickasaw) uprooted from my traditional homeland and dumped here in Oklahoma by Andy Jackson (at least my great grandparents were). Since then, it's gotten better, but recently is experiencing alarming reversals toward dictatorship. MANA (Make America Normal Again!) !
I'd drop "again" off the question. All adding "again" to the question does is make it a political ploy, used to garner votes in order to fuel an ego. The USA has been great for two plus centuries. Why I say that you ask? I point out that the USA is the most sought after country in the world for people to come to and live. No other country has as many immigrants as the US by far. Then and now. No matter how high or long the wall is people are still coming to the US the have a better life. Now isn't that great?
Exactly, maga doesn’t want us to upset their grandchildren showing what an racist their grand pop was/is.
History unfolds and evolves over time. When we were kids, we were taught an entirely different way of thinking about, for example, the discovery of America. I cannot recall learning that America was already an established place with thousands of territories of indigenous people in tribes and nations... I didn't know about Christopher Columbus in any negative way, or that the arrival of white Europeans to this continent spread disease and death just by arriving here, much less the torture and killings of native people who were peaceful and curious about the white man coming. I also was never shown the stories of entire Black business districts destroyed or highways mapped out through prosperous Black neighborhoods. And the reasons for the Civil War in1860s is still viewed quite differently depending on where we grew up. Yes, the freedoms created by our founders in the Constitution provide us with a greatness that we've known for 250 years, but the truths of how we became a nation, and continued to be a nation, are often hidden or told in ways that do not show the dirty side of America. I was raised to believe we are a great nation. I suspect we are in many ways. Are we great again? Were we ever great? Depends on who you talk to... and what they know, I think. The basic premise that we should become great AGAIN? I do not believe we are heading toward greatness these last few years, and I do not believe the current direction we are on will get us there - Will we be diverted from this course - the course specifically of Project 2025? If we are, the pendulum may swing to a better place - but I think it will take considerable change to become great, again or ever, or if we really ever were.
When the staged Psyops stops, the corruption in our government going from The Whitehouse to our local county courthouse, stop unhealthy processed foods, come up with better natural medications and cure instead of relying on unhealthy Pharmaceuticals, stop rigging and scripting sports games so certain people can make money off of Vegas, take care of our homelessness crisis especially in places like San Francisco and New York, take better care of our Veterans and offer them better benefits and care when they come back from duty to help them get off the streets, come up with a better unemployment package, find better ways to curve the hours of a shift for more relaxation and recreation for its citizens like a lot of European countries do, stop fostering division in the media all the time as breaking news and create and foster love and compassion for your fellow man etc. Im sure these are just some of things that whiskey drinking, Sunday relaxin conservatives or Mary Jane smokin Liberal can all agree with. We’ve all had enough of the recent bullcrap at this point, but were a resilient group of people who knows how to bounce back. One thing we all have in common is the need to know whether our kids will be okay or are family and friends will be taken care of. One thing for sure, no one is perfect, I know it’s a stressful job being a leader and being famous because there’s a good chance a lot of these dudes are being controlled and not entirely calling the shots. Being in these type of elite cliques, there’s a good chance you might have encounters with the mafia or the mob and all these factions like The CIA, FBI etc. So as a citizen we gotta be in a compassionate state of mind, yet also peacefully vigilant to what is and what will come in the future.
The only thing that has ever made America great, is nobody could agree on who should make the decisions. These days, Wall Street makes all the decisions, and there's a reason newly emerging economies are kicking the US to the curb. Its what we did to everyone else. Mexicans only happen to be illegal immigrants, because we stole their land. Blacks aren't even considered illegal, just illegal imports. Native Americans are working their magic.
I see some good in this country and some bad. Like many places on earth. The better question might be: Has humanity EVER achieved greatness? I think not. I don't think we are capable of such. From the time humans evolved from lower sentience into our present form --from the time of our ancestors were using rocks and sticks as weapons upon each other--right up until now with humans still fighting , killing, torturing, and possessing extremely efficient weapons to use upon each other-----where's the greatness except in those humans that honor and / or partake in the arts. IMO, the flaws in human nature will eventually be the end of most living creatures on earth. The earth itself will abide. Well--until the sun expands and burns our universe up. However , I suppose the most important issue presently would be to----BUY MORE. BUY MORE NOW. You can't have too much plastic.
LBJ said it best and I think this IS the republicans current path. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
America First? Did someone say that? Trump gives $40 billion to perhaps the most corrupt government in South America, Argentina. Did Congress approve that? How much off the top going to both presidents' pockets? Meanwhile no food stamps for November, health insurance to double, beef prices at all time high. Medicare, Medicaid slashed, Social Security next. $250 million ballroom for King Trump White House East Wing to be totally demolished to appease King Trump DOJ to pay $230 million to King Trump cause he broke laws causing investigations, I mean for tribute to the King. National guard, Marines in our streets making/breaking laws as they go rounding up innocent people. Oh man, America's never been this great of a SHIT HOLE COUNTRY, LEAD BY INCOMPETENT, Greedy MFers. The billionaire MFers are going to replace our government with a neofascist oligarchy who make all the rules. No fucking checks and balances needed. No elections needed either. They've already executed 30-40% of their plan, Project 2025, meeting virtually no political interference. Supreme Court only branch left to draw a line. Do they have the balls or are they too compromised or paid off to give a fuck. Cause you know every fascist government always leaves the courts alone.... Hahahahaha...
Donald Duck is proof Americans don't care how they make money, and neither does the democratic party.
On thing we can control is where our money goes. Bernie Sanders said try to reduce (or eliminate) our money going to trump supporters. Amazon (people say, it’s so easy, tough shit, living under fascism is going to be worse.) Facebook (worthless IMHO) Instagram (kinda cool but canceled mine) Spotify (this one is gonna hurt) And a few others. Democrats/liberals stop supporting trump/maga.
Not only no but hell no! Try living on social security benefits. Have had to give up many things and food prices keep going up.
