    America can always do better; I think you're wrong about most Americans. Wanting equality for ALL American's isn't woke, it's in the Constitution.

    Which was facilitated because OUR founders broke with tradition and invented Government BY THE PEOPLE. Hitler was a dictator, dictators ruin everything they touch. Something to think about when you give your support to tRaitor tRump.

    Too much beating around the bush.

    Before the feminist movement in the late 70's; before amnesty in the '80s; before PC over took everything around 1990.....and those 3 events brought us millions upon millions of illegal aliens, massive homelessness/drug addiction/crime, bitter women and lastly, men pretending to be women.

    The makings of a shithole goes back to those 3 events.

    Ever been to a place without a strong central government? Its not pretty but there are degrees of strength, I prefer the Western model myself.

    Diminished does not equate to "sucks." Nor does it mean "not great at all." Don't pull words off of my keyboard, please.

    di·min·ished. adjective
    1. made smaller or less. "we can expect a diminished role on the world stage as other countries rise to the occasion"

    I say what I mean. If you don't understand, ask. Don't make **** up.

    Saying "Make America Great Again" refers to when it was used by Reagan. And he used it to refer to the economy. Anyone mentioning anything else is just projecting, at best. So, what did Reagan mean when he used it? He was referring to jobs and what was called "stagflation". Which is about slow economic growth, relatively high unemployment, and rising prices.

    "Stagflation" has been at an all time high under Biden. And prices are still not what they were prior to inflation. I'll admit, gas prices have come down (still not at pre-covid prices though), but not much else has. Even rent prices are outrageous.

    The unemployment rates that you refer to does not take into account those that have dropped out of the labor force, which is usually done when one cannot find a job within a given amount of time and stop going to the unemployment office to try and find a job. In addition all those "immigrants" that Biden has let in has in fact been the ones taking jobs from American Citizens. LINK: The Employment Situation of Immigrants and the U.S.-born in the Fourth Quarter of 2023 (cis.org) So that is another way that the Biden admin is cooking the books.

    As for global inflation....I thought Biden had no control over that? Yet you're giving him credit now that its supposedly going down? The irony....

    Btw, did you know that your false quote of Trump there includes Obama's admin as "going downhill"? Played yourself there.

    You do realize that most of those people in the 1950s ‘and 1960s were still getting beat and lynched, right? You also realize the Cold War was in full effect, right?

    LOL. See the question marks? Question marks are how we denote “asking” in text format.

    I’m aware of the definition of “diminished”. Now YOU should be aware of what a question mark at the end of a phrase means! Glad I could help!

    If Hitler had won, he would have gone after Switzerland, Dude. He wanted all of Europe, and if the allies had lost, he would have taken it.

    Listen, you can call it whatever you want, but facts are facts. During "the straight white men" time, as you refer to it, it only took one person to support a family; trannies weren't swinging their dicks in parades while little kids watched; California didn't have 'poop on sidewalk' maps; men didn't use women's restrooms/compete in women's sports; millions of illegals hadn't invaded; millions upon millions weren't hooked on drugs........hell I can go on all day.

    I don’t think you and your red neck flag avatar are fit to talk about facts are facts in this context.

    Red neck avatar? Oh the clueless. Don't worry, you aren't the only one.

    Are you referring to this?

    Snarks are not questions, regardless of your use of punctuation.
