The damage done to our social fabric is incalculable and ongoing. The language doesn't exist to fully encompass the disgrace.

[@jameshogg601]

Is that down to social media?

Two of those people that spoke were investigated and arrested. Khan was fighting against an unconstitutional ban, a constitution his late son took an oath to protect.

Hmmm. Trump was in favor of universal health care and lower taxes for the poor and higher taxes for the wealthy. Yes, he did adopt Bernie's talking points, but the first big thing he did was lower taxes on the wealthy. He kept promising a better health care system (and infrastructure) in a couple weeks for 4 years. How can a panel evaluate a presidency when it had been less than even 1 year?

[@Tadicuslegion78]

Nope. He made things worse and allowed a lot of people to show their true selves

neat ted would rather suffer nuclear war under biden that peace under trump. He's like the last waffen ss soldier fighting to the last in Berlin. Politics of each are pretty much the same.

My comment exactly!

[@rockytoptom]

America has had moments which were morally or financially "good," but there hasn't been a time in which America has ever been "great." Great would be we didn't have segregation after WWII when we were THE superpower and had just liberated Europe and defeated Japan in a two-front war. Great would be no slaves after declaring and winning independence from England. Great would be we have a government which is not corrupted by greed. Great would be much, much different than reality of our existence and our history.

[@mikegreenguitar]

WWII started with Horse Cavalry and biplanes. At the end we had Armored Divisions and jet fighters. Without boring you with statistics, the industrial output in those 4 years was miraculous. Despite racial tensions, African Americans made great contributions in northern factories and on the the battlefield, and received every award for bravery, including the Congressional Medal of Honor. Maybe WWII led to Brown vs Board of Education (2) and the Civil Rights Act. Great doesn't mean perfect.

Its starting to dawn on me that this channel is beyond simply Atheism, but also strides deeply into crazy leftwinger woo woo and thats why I unsubbed. Im atheist 110% but Im also MAGA and Republican 100%.

[@gravelpit5680]

It's happened alot in the last 20 years where atheist spaces are overrun, not with cerebrel skeptics and scientists, but with feminists, wokists and other whacko liberals who associate Republicans with Christianity... theyre two different things entirely! Their arguments against religion, they don't have any, it's just a bunch of hate for Trump and other Right-wing politicians
