Trump is a symptom of America's evil lol, not the cause of it. I would argue he is the most American American.
You know there was plans for a Canadian invasion for decades before trump was in power? The acceleration of the genocide in Gaza happened under Dem leadership. Your foreign policy has always been death and destruction. The faster you collapse, the better off the rest of the planet will be.
I never said he was the cause of america's evil. If he's a symptom though then that's a pretty weak argument for naming him a "great man". But I don't really expect argumentative consistency from .ml users anymore.
I literally said he epitomizes everything that's wrong with the country, so you're not contradicting me.
Source?
You have no clue what would replace it, and no reason to believe it wouldn't be far worse.
I seem to remember being told every West point grad writes a plan for a country. canada would need to be on the list. it's just that these plans are written by, essentially, undergrads, and probably need polish.
I seem to remember being told I could fart rainbows if I eat enough skittles, that doesn't make it true...
these are the kinds of facts you might be able to just look up
Okay well even if a westpoint grad wrote a capstone project about a battle plan for invading canada, that's like accusing [insert public research university here] of supporting radical vegan gay space communism because some vegan grad student wrote a master's thesis about it.
Even less so, because the officer academy is more like undergrad...
👍
Death to America, buddy.
Okay? Trite expressions aside, that doesn't really change anything I said...
👍
