For years, conservatives on the court have claimed to be “colorblind.” Yet when it comes to criminalizing our communities, suddenly race matters. This is the contradiction at the heart of the Roberts Court: no race in college admissions, but race is admissible in immigration stops.

    This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of “our proper place”.

        We might end up having to fight to create the American Dream: Liberty, Prosperity, and happiness for all.

        …I don’t look forward to serving as a soldier in a civil war, but it is better than living out the rest of my life within an American Nightmare.

              A lot of people still support the pedo king unfortunately. Those that don’t tend to be kinder more emotionally mature people who don’t want to put their families in danger. The truth is we will need a lot of maga and the double standards that surround them to have an actual revolution

                Yeah, sure is fortunate that nobody who ever did anything worthwhile had families to consider. What are the odds?

      They couldn’t have put Trump in power without the help of the American electorate.

        American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.

        Don’t get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won’t do anything much to address the root issues, I’m afraid.

        Edit: changed a word

          American citizens are inundated with propaganda.

          Trump supporters choose to only take in the media that tells them what they want to hear. These people are adults, not children. They’re responsible for their own actions.
