“Espouses but fails to uphold” sounds more like negligence to me. Negligence would be allowing fascism through inaction (like democrat administration). But the US does far worse than that (funding genocide and propping up fascism elsewhere)
Nah, I liked how I phrased it. We’ve been failing to uphold our ideals since the beginning, even Thomas Jefferson was a hypocrite who hated slavery but sure as hell did a lot of it.
I feel like it’s unamerican in regards to the values our country espouses, even though it completely and utterly fails to uphold them.
The purpose of a system is what it does

Jefferson didn’t hate slavery, he even pledged support for France against Haiti’s slave rebellion.

Yeah dawg that’s my point. We have the ideal of equality but also failed to actually follow through with it.
