I was raised to love my neighbor, to respond to hate with compassion, to tell the truth even when it hurt. I was taught that these were Christian values and by extension, American ones. We were the country that believed in freedom of thought, the integrity of history, and moral courage.
But now I see many of the same people who taught me those values embracing a movement built on denial, grievance, and revisionist history. They’ve tied themselves to a man who mocks truth, glorifies cruelty, and demands loyalty over integrity.
And the saddest part? We used to look at other nations and say, “That could never happen here.” But it is happening here. And it’s not being forced on us, we’re choosing it.
The cost of that betrayal isn’t some distant consequence we’ll face down the road. It’s already here. The values they abandoned didn’t slowly fade, they were cast aside, willingly, and replaced with something hollow. This isn’t a detour. It’s the destination. And the people who once preached righteousness have no intention of turning back.
It was always happening in the States, just less so or people didn’t care whether or not the history of slaves or whatever was real or not.
It was a slow burn in 'murica that grew into a raging inferno.
I remember being a kid wishing there was more world history being taught. Seemed like we got a touch of world history in 6th grade and 9th grade but between those spaces was all US History
What world history do they teach in the US?
How Ancient Greece created Western Democracy and separated us from the savages.
Franz Ferdinand got assassinated and that was bad, therefore assassinations only make things worse.
WWII and how the US saved the world.
Russians were scary but America won.
Spot on. Make sure the kids know the US is exceptional.🤢
Yeah this is pretty accurate
Fascist world history, aka, Republican party history. Seems their failed fascist “Business plot” was skipped over in school history books.
Those adults then got treated real poorly, underpaid, abused, and replaced. Now state media is great!
funny how no one in school trusted the mainstream media and now they believe everything they say without question
As a kid I distinctly remember American conservatives bombing half my country to keep Russia away from this hemisphere. Now they suck Putin cock
My parents said “Quit eating that school glue, shithead!”.
curious how almost everyone missed the point of this post
