the question is NOT whether he is guilty or not. it's how many Americans can work together to stop MAGA, it's like a foreign invading army, but it's just other Americans who DONT give af about the constitution or playing fair.

However: Trump is not the cause, do NOT focus on only Trump or His Family, though they also deserve scrutiny.

Trump/Maga are symptoms of something much more toxic and cancerous and indecent lurking with every American. Trail of Tears, The Mylai Massacre all was ordinary soldiers, same with Abu Grahib. Every century since it's inception the USA: rape rape rape, century in century out. cant even say the word on youtube to speak openly about it. Americans like to JOKE about "dont drop the soap" in the shower in prison, like prison rape is supposed to be funny or PART of the punishment!?!? the fuck is that shit. .

A lot of Americans are really sick. they pretend this stuff is normal.... Prove me wrong America.

    American here, and while somebody could righteously and pointlessly make a "not all americans" argument, you are spot on about the culture as a whole.

    The rape history is valid but even that is a subset of the larger cultural issue where helping others is seen as weak and for suckers, while shameless greed and punching down are what the smart and the strong do. Look at none other than the president. He's a rapist and a scammer, sure, but he also brags about how he doesn't pay taxes because he's smart and his supporters eat it up.

    Keep in mind that while the USA makes up 2% of the world's population, it has 25% of the world's prison population.

    True, but that's due to multiple factors.

    There are a lot of people in the USA who are behind bars that don't deserve to be there, and a lot of other people out on the streets who do belong behind bars.

    MAGA is a Domestic Terrorist Organization, by their own admission at that CPAC convention where they actually displayed it above their stage: "We are all Domestic Terrorists."

    1000008649

    Theyre PROUD of it.

    In addition, MAGA is a confirmed, ongoing, ENTHUSIASTIC National Security Threat. As such, MAGA should be prohibited from existing, and any politician aligned with MAGA should be prohibited from holding office. We wouldn't let an active member of Al-Qaeda or ISIS hold office, and MAGA is EXACTLY the same as them.

    Don’t stop there. You’re describing culture toward atrocity. A culture of stuplimity, ignorance, false exceptionalism, Christian nationalism, and liberalist imperialism.

    Where did those cultural practices come from?

    Why are these the qualities of American leaders?

    Why do Americans seem blind to it all?
