    There are millions of Americans trying to organize against this shit.

    To no effect if the last checks notes 250 years or US foreign policy are any indication.

      Clearly you didn’t check your notes very well if you think there’s been nothing significant achieved by American citizens against the government over the past 250 years. It’s fun to dunk on the US these days, but you should at least make valid criticisms.

        if you think there’s been nothing significant achieved by American citizens against the government over the past 250 years.

        As I very clearly said in my comment, I’m specifically talking about US foreign policy (aka imperialism), and historically the best Americans have been able to do is make their military leave after bombing everything to the ground. Maybe you have a different idea but I don’t consider Iraq or Vietnam to be success stories for the American public, and again those are the very best Americans have been able to do.

          As you clearly said in your comment, 250 years or US foreign policy.

          There have also been a couple of world wars that the US has assisted in in the past 250 years that I would consider success stories, it wasn’t just Vietnam and Iraq.

            Wtf that’s a typo. That should’ve been “250 of US foreign policy.”

            There have also been a couple of world wars that the US has assisted in in the past 250 years that I would consider success stories, it wasn’t just Vietnam and Iraq.

            How should getting into two particular wars on the other side of the world (the former of which a fight between equally shitty dipshits) convince me that Americans can stop their government from getting into wars on the other side of the world? The fact that you consider US entry into WWI to be a good thing (WWII being an exception, though with reservations) does nothing but prove my point; that was an elites’ war through and through.

      You’re a tool of Trump is you’re here to divide people against Americans, and Americans against the world.

      It’s what he wants. It’s what he needs.

      He won’t get it, though. You will fail.

          It’s not as if you really posed an argument. You just vaguely gestured to over a hundred years as if that tells us anything at all.

          Feel free to elaborate on more specific points.
