I Love America!

[Kishkumen]

How are you oppressed by tyranny?

I said America is oppressed by a tyranny, the tyranny of Trump, who does not follow the law.

How are you oppressed by tyranny?

I said America is oppressed by a tyranny, the tyranny of Trump, who does not follow the law.

Like, for instance, Trump does not like the political attitudes of the President of the University of Virginia (too much DEI for his taste). So what does he do? He threatens to cut off all federal funds allocated to programs at UVa, thereby forcing the university to fire great swathes of its staff and lose masses of students unless the UVa President resigns forthwith.

That's tyranny. No other President in the history of the US would have done that, would they? No British Prime Minister, French President, or German Chancellor (well, there was Hitler I suppose) would even think of doing such a thing. It's a gross abuse of power by any standards.

Every American citizen, including you and me, embodies America. Once more, I inquire, in what ways are you oppressed? If you prefer not to respond to that question, could you please explain how America is experiencing oppression? What is America if it isn't the people?

Given the presence of numerous progressives on this board who seem to harbor negative feelings towards America and their own whiteness, I decided to initiate a discussion about what truly makes America the greatest country in the world.

It is important to recognize that many contributors to this thread are likely to be white males who have been influenced by Marxist progressive ideologies, leading them to believe that white individuals are the cause of the turmoil facing America and Western civilization. Posters like Kishkumen, Bishop Schmo, Canpakes, Dr. Camnpp, and Molok express a significant amount of animosity towards those who oppose their Marxist narrative, as it seems they derive a sense of solace from their disdain. It is unfortunate, but it is a reality that some individuals derive comfort from harboring hatred towards others. This often stems from a deep-seated disdain for their own existence, leading them to believe that their animosity is justified. They seek to project their inner turmoil onto others, wanting them to experience the same pain they endure each day.

This thread is focused on the positive influence America has globally and is also a tribute to all Americans who recognize that progressive Marxism is not suited for our nation. I will share pictures, articles, and videos showcasing Americans making a positive impact globally, assisting those who are less fortunate.

What you will observe is the progressives on the board becoming agitated, as those with Marxist views struggle with the concept of America, particularly when it comes to discussions that portray white Americans in a favorable light. They harbor animosity towards America, particularly towards white Americans. Please feel free to share your uplifting American videos or pictures.

A vote for Trump post 2020 means you don't really love America at all. And your tirade of Hannity talking points and idiotic ramblings about Marxism is hilariously dumb, and reminds me of Loran Blood.

Heil of Hitler’s insinuation that “America is not oppressed because you personally aren’t oppressed” shows an obvious misunderstanding of how tyranny and the fascists’ systemic erosion of democratic norms in our country is happening. Oppression does not always manifest as jackboots on your doorstep. It begins with a slow dismantling of our institutions, the normalization of corruption, and the selective application of the law.

When a former President calls for terminating parts of the Constitution to regain power, incites a violent attempt to overturn an election, and escapes accountability because the GOP’s obstruction, that is a form of tyranny. It’s the deliberate subversion of a system designed to ensure checks, balances, and the peaceful transfer of power. How does that affect me? It’s distressing to see our country being dismantled and replaced by a fascist regime. We’ve seen how this plays out historically. Everyone will suffer.

For example:

- Higher consumer prices from tariffs
- Increased food prices
- More expensive cars and auto parts
- Tax cuts favoring the ultra-wealthy, leaving us with the bill
- Health care sabotage
- Handling of COVID-19 causing antivaxxers to help bring about measles again
- National debt explosion
- Destabilized economy affects our financial security
- Weakened global alliances impacts our safety and economy
- Increased cost of home construction and repairs which sucks ass
- More expensive consumer electronics
- Higher prescription drug prices
- Undermining of the Postal Service which is more cost effective
- Defunded public schools making more stupids and fanatics
- Decline in US manufacturing jobs despite promises
- Trade war-related job losses in farming and logistics, and ICE going after their workers - so much genius
- Expiration of middle-class tax cuts while corporate cuts remain
- Dropped protections for workers
- Rising national park fees while public services were cut
* Erosion of consumer protections from weakened CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, for Shades)

I can keep going, but it won’t make a difference. These are measurable outcomes that’s affected everyone’s daily life; more out-of-pocket costs, fewer services, weakened job protections, and greater economic insecurity for working and middle-class Americans. Your god is the billionaire’s weapon on the working class.

Once more, I inquire, in what ways are you oppressed?

This is like when you catch someone's eye while they're shoplifting, and they hiss at you to "Mind your own business. I'm not stealing from you!"

Excellent example, Chap. They are easy to come up with, and, as a professional in higher education under Trump, I can tell you that we are all feeling oppressed by threats, capricious removal of funding, imposition of unwanted institutes, involuntarily imposed faculty, ending tenure, and so many other bullying maneuvers in the era of Trump.

Ole Droopy. What a character. He continues to smell up conversations on Facebook with his turgid ideologically burdened adventures in the misuse of the thesaurus.
