Hatred, bigotry, racism and misogynism have won.

 

Empires rarely fall from outside forces. They fall from the rot and disunity within.

 

Historians mark the decline and fall of the Roman Empire with the reign of Commodus. IMO the decline and fall of US hegemony will begin with Trump's second term.

 

Anyone who thinks Trump ( or Vance ) can change their spots to become unifying leaders is going to be sorely disappointed.

I am not a misogynist!   I proved it when I did my write in votes for president and vice president.  

Mini Mouse for President!

Daisy Duck for Vice President!

 

I hope my non-white relatives, the ones I put up money for and helped migrate, legally, to the United States and supported for years, don't find out I am a racist.   And my non-white, adopted, son, daughter, and those dark skinned grandkids of mine!!  None of them must ever find out!!!

 

Perhaps I should have paid more attention to my grandmothers dislike of those backwoods Louisiana klan members that hated republicans and blacks with equal fervor!  Grandma going so far as to actually threaten to kill a klan member, with grandpa's old Winchester 12 gauge shotgun, and any other klan member that dared walk on her property!

Biden/Harris intentionally opened the border and let over ten million illegal aliens in and most went on some sort of public assistance. 

 

The left lied and lied and lied about it. 

 

A middle aged white woman in front her city council crying about being terrified in her own community and no one doing anything about it, and the left laughed and laughed and laughed. 

 

 

The event you describe did not occur. If you wish to be taken seriously, don't lie and don't present your imagined unsubstantiated claim as fact. You are quick to accuse imaginary leftists as liars, but here you are posting absolute lies.

 

The unauthorized immigrant population in the United States grew to 11.0 million in 2022, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on the 2022 American Community Survey, the most recent year available. The increase from 10.5 million in 2021 reversed a long-term downward trend from 2007 to 2019. This is the first sustained increase in the unauthorized immigrant population since the period from 2005 to 2007.

However, the number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2022 was still below the peak of 12.2 million in 2007.

 

Please tell us how 10 million people  came into the USA in the past 4 years when the population is still approx. 11 million

Please tell us how they all went on some sort of public assistance when the reality is that  for other than legal  refugees, noncitizens living in the United States face significant restrictions on access to public benefits funded by the federal government, including programs such as Medicaid, food stamps (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), and cash assistance programs such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). This is particularly the case for unauthorized immigrants, who except in very limited circumstances are barred from all federally funded public benefits. Immigrants on temporary visas, such as international students or seasonal workers, are likewise barred. Even most legal permanent residents (aka green-card holders) face a five-year waiting period before they can qualify for federal benefits. These restrictions are longstanding, in many cases dating back to a 1996 federal welfare reform law.

Here's an interesting fact for you. It's kept black Americans sourly amused for centuries.

Miscegenation was very common in the years of slavery. Some of the offspring were so light-skinned they could be regarded as white.

When you see a rally of white supremacists, some of the most hate-filled faces belong to people whose ancestors passed for white years ago, and they carry that awareness within themselves.

 

Try reading the book " Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin. It's a white man's journey into the Deep South of America during racial segregation. He disguised himself as a black man.

 

Mock as much as you want, the fact remains racial hatred is still very alive in America.

"On December 7, 1941, two hours after the Japanese attack on American military installations at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Japan declared war on the United States and Great Britain, marking America’s entry into World War II. The Japanese government had originally intended to deliver the declaration thirty minutes before the attack, but the Japanese embassy in Washington took too long to decode the 5,000-word document."
 

"The German declaration of war against the United States on Dec. 11, 1941, four days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on Dec. 7, 1941, was a turning point in the history of World War II, and thus in the history of international relations. "

“The fact that a once proud people chose, twice, to demean itself with a leader like Donald Trump will be one of history’s great cautionary tales,” said Cal Jillson, a constitutional and presidential scholar at Southern Methodist University whose new book, “Race, Ethnicity, and American Decline,” anticipated some of the existential issues of the election.

 

“Donald Trump’s actions will be as divisive, ill-considered, and mean-spirited in his second term as in his first,” he said. “He will undercut Ukraine, NATO, and the U.N. abroad and the rule of law, individual rights, and our senses of national cohesion and purpose at home.”

The left is dead. Done. They just don't know they are dead yet. Like frog in a hot pot. They wont even try to understand why they got crushed at the polls. 

"And still people will look down on those that voted for him - not understanding it."  

 

They are what they claim other are that are not democrats, racist (if you don't vote for me you ain't black), misogynists (supporting men who want to be women and allowing them to compete in women's sports), and full of hatred (watch the [gag] "The View" for example)!!
