Which tribe? The last one to hold it or one of the ones they took it from in the past?
All land is "stolen". Native Americans have over 10,000 years of unwritten history filled with just as much violence as anywhere else on the planet humans inhabit. The stories may be lost, but archeology has overwhelmingly proven there were a LOT of battles far before Europeans arrived. As well as kingdoms and empires that rose and fell.
Yeah I'm finally going to get an AR. Been meaning to for years, but always something more immediate needed money. I'm at the point where I feel it is a priority to be armed with a semi-automatic rifle, and the wife agrees (she actually brought it up first).
There's too much crazy happening as the Left is approaching full meltdown. I don't honestly think at this point that some sort of civil war or Marxist revolution is inevitable, but it's now gone from impossible to a remote possibility, and that's enough to move to DEFCON 4.
It doesn't take a majority, or even a sizeable minority to cause complete chaos and disorder to the point where a nation turns into a war zone. And even the mass rioting that has happened is enough to start taking a potential threat of future violence seriously.
They never intend to "fix" anything. Solutions to problems remove the problems, and they use problems as political weapons. Fixing a problem would be taking a weapon away from them.
That's why they've pushed so hard for two decades to reignite racial tensions. The 80s-90s was about the least racial decades in US history, and the Democrats were very bothered by that. They wanted their weapon back, and now they have it.
I mean, look at almost every major city in the country. Run by democrats for decades, they make the exact same promises every election: to fix poverty and education. Yet poverty and poor education never improve in most of these cities.
Well, service industry in specific tourist destinations are kind of a special case so those jobs aren't going away long term.
But we were already headed for a lot of lost jobs in the service industry as technology is utilized more and more and the need for a lot of employees directly interacting with the customer is reduced.
The response to Covid-19 was obviously not ideal, but eventually something would have to happen to make up for lost jobs in the service industry. The push to online and kiosk ordering and payment was happening anyway, but it's been greatly escalated in the past 3 months.
Now is the time for manufacturing to ramp up and start hiring low-skilled workers, while many of them are likely permanently displaced from a service industry that's taken a beating and had to adjust for minimal staffing.
Just because someone has the right ideas, clarity, and intelligence, that does not mean they are capable of being an executive leader, especially as president of the United States.
President Trump has clearly shown what it takes to be that leader. All of these people that are always listed as successors don't have that executive experience.
It was mentioned once though. It said the party "realigned in the mid twentieth century".
The party switch thing along with claiming nazis were "right wing" are among the most egregious lies ever told.
Frankly the entire South was classically liberal (modern day conservative) with the exception of the slavery issue, and eventually the segregation issue. So they voted Democrat for a century and a half.
Once both of those issues disappeared, and as younger generations of Southerners got to voting age, the votes shifted to Republicans, based merely on their principles.
In other words, the entire civil war is an example of how terrible and dangerous single issue voting can be.
Yeah that's the catch-22 about it. A browbeaten people tend to resist change. Nobody wants to admit they were wrong their entire life or that many of your difficulties spawn from the very people you support. And a lifetime of being a victim is hard to give up.
Those who need saving the most fear it and don't want it.
I was in nyc a few months ago for work, and pretty much everyone I met at the job was vocally supportive of Trump.
Just like California, there are millions of us in New York as well. It's not a matter of dropping red pills. It's the yuge number of "minorities", who've long been loyal Democrat voters.
If blacks and many Latinos can finally see how the Democrat party has been using them, you could flip most deep blue places red.
The problem is that change has to come from within. These "ethnic communities" have little trust in anyone else, no matter how many red pills you drop.
I don't know about any of that, but his rulings are consistent with one possibility: that he is the biggest coward to ever don the robes. He falls back on "stare decisis" at every opportunity. One would think he doesn't believe a Supreme Court should even exist.
I'm sure that's part of the reason, but I suspect it was more because of how the whole thing put on display the abject failure of their ideals. To the point where even lefties were pointing out how ridiculous it was.
The people running the show know these idiots and their ridiculous ideas are no bueno, and don't care. But they don't want the public to see it.
It isn't so much that he was prescient, just that the things in his book were what the intellectuals of his day were discussing. His book was a way to show the pure hell that these intellectuals would create if they had their way. He also had living examples like Stalin to draw from.
Totalitarianism isn't a new thing. All Orwell did was juxtapose it with what future technology might make possible.
Yep. These so-called progressive ideologies are merely old systems with a new paint job.
The only new, progressive system in the world is the constitutional Republic. It's success is unquestionable. And the fruits of that success are what the would-be barons want to carve up for themselves.
Effectively formalizing what most of private industry has been doing for a while. Including pretty much every job I've had. Even though I have a bs in nuclear engineering, I never got a job based on that. Was on experience.
Direct Government jobs have always been dependent on specific degrees. That is the change. Trump has opened those up to the same experience based jobs to people without specific degrees.
Yep. This is what is really going on. Trump winning the previous election scrambled every thing all of these enemies of our republic have been working towards, from the globalist wannabe oligarchs trying to carve this country up in a conquest for power, to the corrupt government officials and politicians whose strings they pull, and the far left useful idiots they use for foot soldiers.
They've attempted to block Trump's agenda as much as possible, which has mostly failed so far. With the very real prospect of another 4 years facing them, they are turning to political terror.
It is they, not us or our Republic, that is facing extinction.
Yep. Pretty much the only reason Biden is their guy. They needed someone dumb enough to lose and be able to blame it on.
No serious pick would waste their time or reputation running against Trump this time around. The kingmakers didn't even bother looking for one.
