Restoring American Culture

[Lazaran]

Hahaha - That's what we're talking about!

This idiotic post is the best you can do? This is why we call you LefTARDS,

MAGAt91364 uses the adhom “LefTARDS” because they KNOW that “RighTARDS” is sooooo much more apt (and it sounds a whole lot closer to “ReTARDS”.



Always gaslighting, distraction, and deflection from the “RighTARDS”.

We. Told. Them. So.

You Americans are so extreme. Half of you think your country is a flawless city on a hill while half of you think it's an unredeemable sewer of, as you say, "slavery and rape."

C'mon, you're just an ordinary country going through a rather weird patch right now.

if you lived here, as I do now having come here from London UK, it is really a whole lot bigger than 'a rather weird patch.'

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump declared that he and his supporters were “the party of common sense.

liars gonna lie

he was imperfectly acquainted with the realities of 21st century America. If he were with us today, I am sure he would emend his opinion.

as is the author of this article and, given your citation, as are you

After all, is it common sense to pretend that men can be women? Or to pretend that you do not know what a woman is? During her confirmation hearings, a sitting member of the Supreme Court professed to be baffled by that question.

sex isn't a binary definition. To declare it so is just another example of bad science, as embraced by trump-junkies everywhere.

You're assumption that half of Americans are far right and another half is far left is erroneous. Some of us get our information from multiple sources and use our critical thinking skills to determine truth and fact.

Oh, I'm sure there are some moderates out there. People like Mitt Romney or Al Gore. But they seem to get squeezed out by the crazies.

I'm Canadian.

And the Canadians (and Mexicans) get whipsawed by all the craziness!

I meant a weird patch of time, in the sense that (with luck) sanity will return at some unspecified future date.

The extremes from both sides drive politics in the US. But I'm not referring to politicians, I'm referring to voters. The problem is media on both sides controlled by wealthy oligarchs and corporatists. Brain-washing has become way too easy with the internet and allowing the Fariness Doctrine to lapse.

I like the bit about the MAGA people not wanting people to be promoted "just because they're black" . . .

. . . but they're sure keen on FIRING people (like the chairman of your Joint Chiefs of Staff) . . . who happen to be black!

That gerrymandering doesn't help either.

Well, then, why do people who "change their sex" only ever change between male and female?

There are people with XX who are known as females (girls and women) and people with XY who are known as males (boys and men.)

Trump has accomplished way more than you have...will ever have. you are just a putz & a slacker

 

[DanOkeffie]

Trump is restoring America's pedophile and sex trafficking culture.

what? where and where is your proof

 

[DanOkeffie]

For the MAGATs, 'American Culture' means women cooking dinner for their menfolk, black people cutting sugar cane and Native Americans being shot from a circle of wagons.

what a racist tool

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump declared that he and his supporters were “the party of common sense.” In his Inaugural Address on January 20, Trump returned to this theme. With his flurry of executive orders, he said, “We will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense. It’s all about common sense.”

I agree. But what is “common sense”? At the beginning of his Discourse on Method, René Descartes said that common sense was “the most widely distributed thing in the world.” Is it? Much as I admire Descartes, I have to note that he was imperfectly acquainted with the realities of 21st century America. If he were with us today, I am sure he would emend his opinion.

After all, is it common sense to pretend that men can be women? Or to pretend that you do not know what a woman is? During her confirmation hearings, a sitting member of the Supreme Court professed to be baffled by that question.

Is it common sense to open the borders of your country and then to spend truckloads of taxpayer dollars to feed, house, and nurture the millions of illegal migrants who have poured in? Is it common sense to sacrifice competence on the altar of so-called diversity? To allow politicians to bankrupt the country by incontinent overspending? That’s the start of a list one could easily enlarge.

In the cultural realm, is it common sense to celebrate art that is indistinguishable from pornography or some other form of psychopathology? Is it common sense to rewrite history in an effort to soothe the wounded feelings of people who crave victimhood? Is it common sense to transform higher education from an institution dedicated to the preservation and transmission of the highest values of our civilization into a wrecking ball aimed at destroying that civilization?

The Founding Fathers would hate what trump is doing.

I love how people who detest the Founders, saying they were founding a nation to protect slavery, suddenly love them when tehy think they can be used to hurt Trump.

Recognizing that they were flawed human beings - as we all are - does not amount to "detesting" them.
Having said that, it is true that they designed a system that effectively protected slavery. It's fair to argue that abolishing slavery was probably not politically feasible at the time, but that doesn't make it any less horrifying.

Your side of the aisle presents them as pro-slavery, as monsters, racists, violent oppressors.

And they did not "protect slavery." They knew that trying to get rid of it immediately would cause a war and cause the Union to break up, so they tried to abolish it gradually through means like banning importation, for example.

You can't sanitize what transpired then no more that Trump can hide the Epstein Files forever.

Some of the Founders knew slavery was wrong. Jefferson called it a “moral depravity,” Washington admitted it troubled him, Franklin turned against it near the end of his life, and Hamilton opposed it outright. But that’s where talk ended. Jefferson kept hundreds enslaved and freed almost none, Washington waited until his wife’s death to free his, and Madison treated it as a political nuisance instead of a moral stain. They might have had doubts, but they didn’t put much weight behind them.

When they sat down to write the Constitution, principle got traded for politics. To keep Georgia and South Carolina on board, they allowed the slave trade to run until 1808, cut the Three-Fifths Compromise to give the South more power, and added the Fugitive Slave Clause to secure slavery across state lines. Those weren’t accidents. They were written in on purpose. If anyone really thought slavery was going to “fade away,” they sure went out of their way to nail it down in the country’s highest law.

That’s the contradiction we’ve lived with ever since. The Declaration promised liberty and equality, while the Constitution gave slavery protection. That’s why both sides before the Civil War claimed they were honoring the Founders—abolitionists pointed to the Declaration, while the Confederacy leaned on the Constitution. The Founders left the country with two legacies pulling in opposite directions.

By the time the 1850s rolled around, the idea that slavery might just die out on its own was a fantasy. The institution had grown stronger, richer, and more entrenched. The war that followed wasn’t some surprise twist—it was the inevitable result of a compromise the Founders made at the start and left for someone else to pay for later.

Economics outweighed the moral convictions then. It wasn't some sense of higher moral convictions was it?

Names and quotes or it didn't happen. Besides, nearly everyone who lived back then was racist by today's standards. But that doesn't make your comment any less of a straw-man argument.

Not all of them wanted to get rid of it, immediately or ever for that matter. And as DMallord already said, even those who did want to abolish slavery didn't really even put up much of a push against it. As we now know, that continued right up until the Civil War, with the pro-slavery side nearly always getting at least most of what they wanted. For example, the ban on importation you mentioned? It happened, in 1807, but importations didn't actually stop.

what a racist tool

It's the dream of 'Making America Great Again'. Which period do you think they refer to, when America was so great?

Or is it just fiction to feed the imagination of the poorly educated.
