What if ......we are seeing the REAL america now?/ Perhaps this one has been barely contained for a longtime. Trump's ugly words and actions have facilitated in bringing out the worst of the worst in the nation..........something that was always there.
The founding fathers had many good ideas.......that resulted in the constitution..........as the years passed the US gov......interpenetrated their work to fit the thinking of the potus in place at the time. Aggression of all types has been a big factor in US mentality.......... and everything seems to be a war with them. War on fat. war on drugs etc.
So the most aggressive option is always on the table for them. consequence be damned. The USG treats is population as stupid as it is brainwashed to believe any BS it is told by their President. They are taught to almost revere their president.(dear leader phenomena )..........I have seen it first hand....in the american part of my own family.
Food for thought..
Yeah, yeah, Patriotism bad, we are the world is good.
For decades in Canada, and years in the US the Left has been trying to transition the population of both countries into more like the European thought process of we should be beholden to the world. The ones that bought in are horrified when Patriotism, This Is Our Country, sentiment shows itself and it should be fought against. Evidence of this is seen throughout the world at this time see Trump, Brexit, France, Belgium, etc.
