    The problem isn’t limited to Trump and the GOP, though, both parties support genocidal settler-colonialism and imperialism. The US Empire itself is bad, and needs to be torn down and replaced.

      Exactly. All these people online with their heads suddenly exploding like the US empire hasn’t been fucking shit up for many many decades. Trump is just the latest and most ridiculous manifestation of what the USA is at its core.

      Like, ICE are a violent collection of belligerent bros who need to be kicked in the teeth, but does anyone remember post-9/11 when Arabs were disappeared, or the countless inhumanities done to black people for the entire country’s history? Buffalo extinction….anyone???

      Let’s stop acting like the country was a fucking role model until the second Trump came on the scene. It’s just a Trail of Crocodile Tears to me.

      The country has always been a monster, and even worse, will likely always be a monster long after the orange turd has been flushed.

        The silver lining is that the US Empire is waning. Something is always rising, and something is always dying away. Dialectics.
