dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

"Wait, the US isn't democratic?" :astronaut-2: *click* :astronaut-1:

Well, it was the non-suffrage that was the issue.

Also I'd tack on the Senate even for the shortlist.

Abraham Lincoln put natives in concentration camps during the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862

And he’s usually regarded as the least awful president. Literally every single one of them has committed brutal crimes against humanity.

Even the dude that died after a month of being a president, he got to presidency climbing on a pile of dead Natives.

Anymore....

what year was it free and democratic, please name a specific date

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

it was democratic for it's first Inception relative to the reality it was in, but as time moved on America became less and less relatively democratic, I don't think you could call it democratic when it's party 1 with slightly different opinions and party 2 with slightly different opinions, with every other view being punished by partisan and bi-partisan voices
