I'd argue it started with FDR not the cold war. FDR did end up helping many Americans, but the concessions given slowed and/or completely stopped many workers movements in the US. Halting further progress amongst socialist or communist parties in the US.

The middle class wouldn't emerge until the late 1940s, but the groundwork was set in the 30s

Frankly then I'm shocked that you do not understand. My view is informed by the people I know. I've met quite a few people to completely reverse their view once leaving the military. People that joined young, got indoctrinated and stayed in longer than they should. Typically after being pressured by the officers above them to re-enlist.

Once they got out they began to question their actions more, they began to experience a lot of feelings that they've suppressed. In turn this radicalized them. I've seen it often. Honestly you see the same things with cult survivors

I doubt you'd understand, but I full recognize that the military industrial complex is designed to prey on underprivileged youths or those with misplaced patriotism to joining. From their you are isolated and indoctrinated. Moving past that indoctrination and regretting what you did, as he's stated, shows growth and character development.

Rape is just rape. Not indoctrination or anything like that. Completely of his own volition. Speaks volumes

If you told he raped someone during his military or mercenary time I'd feel the same way

The fact that I even have to say that is mind boggling. This nation is beyond fucked

Feel free go through my history. I supported and defended that man until this point. You're just a monster

At some point it's no longer a purity test, it's setting the standard that we shouldn't keep electing racists to congress

It's really not ambiguous at all since she told us what happened.

Even without context it's not ambiguous at all if you've ever spoken with a woman.

You've done it, you've gone full MAGA. Rape supporting and everything

Holy shit dude, those messages are not ambiguous at all. Stop supporting rapists. You sound a lot like a MAGA cultist

We've done it, We've circled around to fake news.

This women has produced dated text messages discussing the assault prior to Planter's campaign. That's pretty solid this time. Plus the connection between these two can be corroborated. Additionally I've heard there are dated therapists notes, but I haven't seen those.

The Epstein class will not be taken down by other rapists

Wtf is wrong with you. These allegations are pretty damning, absolutely no plausible deniability. This is straight up sexual assault

If he drops out now the dems can at least field another candidate that isn't a rapist. I would hope you'd want to not vote for a rapist

I'll admit I defended him in the past. I did see the plausible deniability in the tattoo and reddit posts, but this is just horrible.

There's no excuses for these actions. The documention provided is damning in every way.

He must drop out, and in a just world face criminal charges

If he refuses to drop out he should be pushed out

And remember cops will always say shit like "I don't make the law, I just enforce it" when doing these terrible things like this.

But when their cop buddy beats the shit of their wife suddenly they can selectively enforce the law

To be fair America has used it's national gaurd to shoot citizens about every 15 or so years since well about 1776
