The drive to Make America White Again is suicidal. It will lead to the downfall and destruction of America, and along with it the downfall even of white Americans (like myself).

Trump’s racist, bigoted immigration agenda has the full support of the equally racist, bigoted right.

This hateful agenda has little to do with ‘illegals’ or deporting criminals – it’s about removing lawful residents of color from the country and preventing people of color from entering the country, consistent with white grievance politics and racist replacement theory.

there are a hell of a lot of people fighting back against it. People of all colors, all sizes and ages.

poster to the Guardian about " never repaired for its original sins of genocide and enslavement". The truth of the founding of our country is not that of the romanticized version of a bunch of put upon colonists rebelling for freedom and liberty for all against their unfair ruler and subsequently nobly expanding across the continent.

They were people who saw liberty and freedom for white men. They were not about freedom for women and they were not, at that time about ending slavery and including their former slaves as having freedom and liberty as well. They took what they wanted by force or "purchase" of colonial claims by other countries on other portions of the land of the indigenous people. Those purchases were for land never legitimately "owned" by the seller in the first place.

The indigenous peoples weren't just "tenants" who were becoming "unruly" on someone else's property and so warranted eviction. The claims to land by the French and Spanish were illegitimate to begin with. But the US government took over the claims and treated them as righteous and legal because they had paid money etc.

So the expansion of the US was very much like if I went to someone's house, walked around their yard and planted stakes, then claimed it as mine and sold it to someone. Then that purchaser comes and demands the people move who live there and kills them if they don't.

The colonists came here to land that was not theirs and eventually slaughtered and dispossessed nearly everyone who was already here. The article is spot on for putting our past as foundational to our present. The hypocrisy of the US in lecturing others about genocide, crimes against humanity, moral conduct etc. is so galling to others around the world because of our own conduct, failure to address it to this day and continuing to shortchange treaties and agreements we made with the few indigenous people we left alive.

Put simply it was always someone else's land and we took it by imposition of force, subterfuge, false promises, and purchase of the illegitimate claims of others. There is nothing noble about it or to be celebrated. The bill for the genocide is not only the lives extinguished and the lies told about it all. The bill is with us today in terms of how we are viewed around the world. We arrogantly go around the world with our military and spies telling others about what is moral or right while living in the largest glass house the world has ever known. Don't think for one minute that other countries don't see how worthless the word of the US is in treaties and agreements when the gross violations of treaties with indigenous people in the past and currently are so evident.

This is the history the fascists now want to erase and pretend never existed. One need look no further than the Black Hills case to see the hypocrisy of the right wing fanatics who control the US government and Supreme Court. They claim "defense of religion" as their highest calling and yet rather than return the sacred Black Hills they attempt to use money to "buy" a peoples sacred things from them.

Look at the way the fascists in the US now treat our European allies. That is not just based on leaning toward Russia or money it is also very much based in racism and we see it with the constant condemnation about refugees coming into European countries and the racist fear-mongering. It is well known the fascist network is global and has been at work for a long time now. I have little doubt that Suella Braverman and Kristi Noem are pleasantly satisfied and smiling inside when they receive news about refugees and migrants dying on their way during their struggle to reach safety. In the land of the free and the land from whence we sprung.

And it's all too true

Canceling all of chumps EOs.
Then one to rid us of his visage!
None of this is based on a law. Only Executive Orders.
Cancel him!

I have slowly, throughout my life, came to the realization,, and understanding, that society was mulitcultural, and moving more that way. The same for gender and sexual orientation, but thats another topic.

I honestly think that so many white people, who have grown up and formed their beliefs about how things are. ie....white people are the rightful dominant race, and are the heroes in movies and TV shows, and are the ones elected as leaders. Some people, mostly men I should add, just have never accepted change in the colour of society. That is what is behind all the anger and resentment.

Its so much easier if one just accepts that wealthier nations are going to get immigrants from hard working people from a lot of poorer nations, many having citizens with a darker shade of skin pigment. That is not a bad thing! For one, the restaurant choices! My gawd! The festivals they share. The cultural richness. I as a white male, am fine with this process happening. In fact in my city, white people are now in the minority. So what?!!! Accept it bros. Find the benefits of embracing the world, not the parts that scare you from ignorance and fear.

Something to get my 64 year old heart diseased ass out fighting in the streets against.

Even if we found a way to boot him and all his sycophants tomorrow, the USA is no longer the shining light on the hill.
