What a great speech btw
[quote]. And yet, as we meet here tonight, there is a growing danger that threatens every blessing our ancestors fought so hard for, struggled, they bled to secure. Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. Many of these people have no idea why they’re doing this, but some know what they are doing. They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive, but no, the American people are strong and proud and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history, and culture to be taken from them.[/quote]
Cause all the people doing the stuff he mentions... are not American.
[quote]One of their political weapons is cancel culture, driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and to our values and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.[/quote]
Says the guy that wants to ban transsexuals from serving their country.
And the same guy that believes that christians have the right to discriminate against gays and transsesuxuals on the workfloor because God.
[quote]This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty must be stopped and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation’s children from this radical assault, and [b]preserve our beloved American way of life. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms[/b], there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It’s not going to happen to us.[/quote]
The movement he's afraid off, is totally totalitarian. So we need to preserve the American way, which is pretty much his definition of the American way, in our schools, newsrooms and corporate boardrooms. It's quite amazing that the other side are labeled totalitarian. But yeah, what ever I guess. 😅
[quote]Against every law of society and nature, our children are taught in school to hate their own country and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes but that were villains. The radical view of American history is a web of lies, all perspective is removed, every virtue is obscured, every motive is twisted, every fact is distorted and every flaw is magnified until the history is purged and the record is disfigured beyond all recognition.[/quote]
'Cause critism isn't allowed... we have to maintain this idea that we are the greatest, and embrace the incredible national myth. You know, the "true history" where only the virtues are adressed and only the motives we like are talked about.
Stuff like this:
[quote]We are the culture that put up the Hoover Dam, laid down the highways, and sculpted the skyline of Manhattan. We are the people who dreamed the spectacular dream, it was called Las Vegas in the Nevada desert, who built up Miami from the Florida marsh, and who carved our heroes into the face of Mount Rushmore. Americans harnessed electricity, split the atom, and gave the world the telephone and the internet. We settled the Wild West, won two World Wars, landed American astronauts on the moon.[/quote]
This thing was scarry in 2015... but it only got worst.
[quote]Uplifted by the titans of Mount Rushmore, we will find unity that no one expected. We will make strides that no one thought possible. This country will be everything that our citizens have hoped for for so many years, and that our enemies fear, because we will never forget that the American freedom exists for American greatness. And that’s what we have, American greatness. Centuries from now, our legacy will be the cities we built, the champions we forged, the good that we did, and the monuments we created to inspire us all. My fellow citizens, America’s destiny is in our sights. America’s heroes are embedded in our hearts. America’s future is in our hands. And ladies and gentlemen, the best is yet to come.[/quote]
🙄 I hope this is a joke and he's trieing to trigger the libs.

@Kwek00 This would sound quite different if Trump was a great uniter of people instead of intentionally pitting his adoring fans against the majority of Americans.

@Crazywaterspring Yes, they are. And some will.

@RodionRomanovitch McConnell is telling Democrats in the Senate not to destroy it if they take control. He's scared of what Trump is doing to Republicans in the Senate and their chances of winning in November.

"He takes advantage of others to get what he wants"
Not one person in the entire GOP knew that he would be violating a treaty ? No one, not even the Governor ? Not even Secretary David Bernhardt of the US Department of the Interior or anyone who works in it ? Or were they all in fear of being fired if they spoke up ? Afraid of being called Un-American, Un-Patriotic traitors and human scum ?
"He has an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of Native Americans"
"You can't put lipstick on a pig" Idiom
