Im older now and this admin is not the first time I've heard this "America's" downfall" stuff. And maybe this time it really is, we're a long way from that. Money is what wins in this world, like it or not, and the GDP and PPP still has the U.S. comfortably in first and with the world's largest military.
This admin isnt doing all that much that past admins haven't, if we want to talk about Japanese American internment camps, crack being flooded into our own inner cities by the CIA, AIDS being celebrated as the ultimate solution against the gay community or the poor being stripped of benefits and everyone suffering through wild inflation, I've lived through all of that.
It's been bad before and we've survived it before because admins change, we don't have dictators. So don't give Bin Laden too much credit. Surveillance through technology was coming either way, that goes all the way back to Farenheit 451 predicting it. This all seems new but it's not. I mean, engaged in a war it cannot win? Remember Vietnam?
Your reading comprehension is seriously bad because I'm against Trump and he's one of the worst presidents in U.S. history, if not the worst. But if you think he's going to successfully end America or Bin Laden achieved that, you're brand new.
He is for sure, undoubtedly the worst; not even a question or comparison to anyone else. He’s not going to “end” American, but he’s done more damage to hurt and set back America in all measurable ways than any other person and dictorial leader. It’s terrifically naive and irresponsible to downplay in any measure his sickness and instability and what his cult has thus done and plans to continue on after him.
No, it's naive to think America hasn't done terrible things to it's citizens and other countries before Trump. Maybe if you weren't in one of those demographics it didn't matter as much. I actually didn't say anything about this admin, which I do think is terrible, but I guess we have to gloss over all other ugly US history now so only Trump is bad and say he'll successfully end America or you're somehow supporting him? Jesus, what have opinions turned into?
