The United States is Falling Apart and the World is Taking Notice
The United States is imploding. The reign of Donald Trump is not only challenging and threatening the very foundations of its constitutional democracy, it
In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

falling apart➡️actively being destroyed since RBG passed awayIf only she had retired when there was a chance to replace her with a progressive instead of hanging in until she died.
"Progressive"!? I wouldn't even be that optimistic. All she had to do was retire when her health was failing and Democrats could get someone fair and nonpartisan appointed.
Obviously a very intelligent woman yet so fucking stupid at the end. I wonder if she wasn't already in the clutches of dementia when she decided Hilary was certain to win.
Sadly that's what power does to people. It's more addictive than crack, they can't let go.
One, she should of retired under Obama, and two, the US has failed as a country since bush stole the 2000 election and nobody did shit about it.
Didn't Obama have a chance to name a justice and kicked the can until Trump got there? These clowns are working for the same corporate circus.
Some say the US failed when it allowed Nixon to get away Scott free.

Why the fuck are you blaming that on Obama instead of McConnell? That's some fucking blatant spin.
Wow, so history is already being rewritten to change it into Obama fucking around and not bothering to nominate a Justice (the fondest dream of every president), instead of knowing that McConnell who was Senate majority leader (repubs controlled the Senate), blocke it and refused to allow a vote on Obama's nominee (Merrick Garland). JFC, it wasn't even that long ago and people have already forgotten, or never bothered to pay attention in the first place, or believed some propaganda they came across. We're so doomed.
Hand shaking meme:
Fascists 🤝 Leftists
Center: Using misinformation to blame Democrats for literally everything.
Leftists need to grow some damn braincells and accept responsibility for putting the US in this situation.
Russia loves how easily manipulated they are.
If you wanna get mad at Obama, he campaigned on closing Gitmo, but did nothing while in office. You know, that same facility Trump is currently using to detain people.
Congress blocked him on straight closure but they went from 250 to 41 detained there under his administration. Trump stopped all closure progress, Biden got the number down to 15, and now we have Trump again.
"Did nothing" is worse than exaggeration, it's not like you have to lie to make Obama look like the massive disappointment he was for progressives.
And the democrats did nothing to stop the blatant power grab. They always act powerless and republicans do whatever the fuck they want.
The Democratic Party is the Washington Generals. They're part of the show, but they're not there to win.
Not punishing the Confederacy, in my opinion, is where this country went to hell.
Agreed. They should have hanged the Southern elite, and occupied the former confederate states under martial law for at least three generations.
history without President Andrew Johnson, so much could have been different

In our hubris we put our dicks away. We were warned of the consequences and we didn't listen. Indeed, the only way forward is forward is, once again, DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE!
Sigh... unzips
actively being destroyed since
RBG passed awayThe Nixon administration.
RBG
who?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Though I'd hardly signal her death out as the defining factor or turning point of the US's decline...
Some would say Reagan, but personally I think it was doomed from the wild west days. Rugged individualism bred the selfish nature that's led to where it is today.
We were built on a native American genocide. Maybe they cursed us lol.
In theory, if Ruth Bader Ginsberg chose to retire when she was sick, instead of continuing to act on her principles until she died in office, we wouldn’t have a Conservative dominated Supreme Court. It would have changed who got to appoint her successor.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg - supreme court justice
Ruth Bader Ginsburg - progressive Supreme Court justice.
