I grew up in Texas under Clinton, Bush, Obama, and then Trump. Our leaders are feckless at best and monsters at worst. I’m so ashamed of my fellow Americans by allowing a political spectrum that is scoped and framed to never address looming tangible existential issues to be the only one ever considered, but also the incessant slop media produces to placate the lowest common denominator amongst the population. I’m so frustrated being surrounded by simpletons, lorded over by rich morons, and being economically stunted because I’m descended from idiot junkies.
Culturally the Americas has been rotten long before the slave owning richest man in the country turned warlord so a new set of elites could replace the British nobility.
Edit: Correction, Washington wasn’t the richest man in the Americas at the time. Just tremendously wealthy by the standards of the time. My apologies about the inaccuracy.
Ahhh hell you’re right I’ll go make a correction. I like Aztec history way more than U.S.A. history so I’m not surprised I’ve been mistaken about this for decades.
He also didn’t turn into some warlord to overturn the elite. What a wild revisionism of the Revolution. My ancestor was a signer of the DoI and lost everything to further the cause…this wasn’t some changing from one wealthy group to another. There’s plenty of places to point to for elitism and corruption, but this point in time was not one of them.
Well I have no faith in America.

Washington? He was rich but he wasn’t the richest man in America either before or after the revolution.

I’m not sure that I would want you in charge :)

Hey you! Piss off with that fact checking . We’re having an America bad always and forever circle-jerk in here.
