    So we can survive a civil war where we kill 2-3 percent of the population and come back together, but not this era?
    I honestly wonder whether people have no view of history or are just so far gone in their politics that they can’t see straight.

    That isn't the U.S. I live in. I'm sorry that this is what you think of our great country.

    Trump makes everyone sign an NDA so that he can do illegal and immoral shit and not have to deal with the consequences, Cohen and the porn star he was banging while Melania was pregnant signed one, I believe…

    There is a pretty good argument that mostly it is just boredom. They desperately want something exciting to happen.

    Wait, so you’re saying we can put Trump in jail, end American imperialism and implement communism? Is today Christmas?

    I'm sorry to say that you'll likely get none of the above.

    One begets the other.

    Understanding historical context and understanding the general arc of human civilization keeps one from falling into these shallow, yet powerful traps.

    So in this case, the inverse is true

    This whole thread is a testament to the Republican War on education. Those who are totally ignorant of well....everything, are easily told by Fox and Newsmax what they think and their "facts" are.

    Some weird little Austrian dude and his political party chose the exact same approach in the early 1930's.

    Thanks a lot. This is like when Trump told that kid Santa wasn’t real.

    He was born in Ukraine and lived in Austria. The other was actually born in Austria and took over Germany.

    Louisiana, with all due respect, I suggest you consider refraining from posting on this forum. It’s just not going to do you any good.
    All the best!

    Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower have praised NATO and have embraced the role of the US as leader of the free world. I guess by your definition they as well as every other American president from the end of World War II through 2016 would be considered "communist globalists".

    NATO was one of the biggest mistakes this country has ever made. The sooner the U.S. would leave that POS organization the better. The U.S. contributes everything to NATO and gets little to nothing in return.
