Yup, vast mineral resources, plenty of water, varied agricultural zones, no enemies on our borders. It's what made America great, maybe the greatest. Those are advantages no other empire had. America could be the only great power in history that could if it chose self sustain without any imports.
Basically the she says that something fairly close to the quote can be attributed to James Waterman Wise, the son of a rabbi who gave talks warning of fascism in America:
The biggest divide is trump. He makes up his anthem in Ohio. He calls the Jan 6 insurrectionist patriots. He is supposed to be pro-police but his followers attack law enforcement. Theu all stood up and saluted the Maga hat he is. He wants to preserve the white power that they fear they are losing. A cult-like following is very scary. He wants to revise a new history for America. 5 people died on Jan 6. tRUMP watched them die and yet people followed him. The election was not stolen but because he lost. It was stolen.
Majority of Americans say U.S. is one of the greatest countries in the world
The share of Americans who say the United States stands above all other nations in the world has declined modestly over the past four years.www.pewresearch.org
The biggest divide is between young adults and older ones, with the former increasingly saying no.
But:
"The share of adults saying the U.S. stands above all other countries dropped significantly in telephone surveys conducted between 2011 and 2019. While the decline in views of the United States’ global standing was concentrated among Democrats during these years, the decline over the past four years is concentrated among Republicans."
So is our nation great? Still, now, even with our current political divide and two elderly men roundly criticized by most up for President?
(I come asking this question after finishing Masters of the Air. The score makes me nostalgic and proud about this nation better than almost anything I've heard.)
My take, based on that twitter thread’s take, is that authoritarians find the sweet spot of making sure the working class doesn’t give up the ghost of patriotism and “freedom.”
Wait til 2025. They’re putting out the first hybrid 4Runner that’s based on the iForce Max engine.
That’s probably all true and whatnot but being a Black dude/ette that doesn’t follow the expectations of the larger group results in all sorts of pain and names (eg Uncle Tom). Any black personal critical of other black people is met with immediate vitriol.
Because they sold their souls to be white. They forget the people who died to allow them such freedoms. Even Clarence Thomas as an AA baby. He did not do it alone.
How in the hell does a black dude be a white dude? Is all it takes for said black dude to reject your bullshit or is there more?
Ask Clarence Thomas, the perfect example. He has forgotten what being black means,
New Land Cruiser is a disappointment. It’s small. Should have kept it big but utilitarian so a cheaper price point
As he became more educated, he realized how the black population was being duped by Democrats.
Jealous huh? Does it really upset you to see a black person be successful... apparently so.
I liken America to IU Basketball. You have to do inept things to screw it up. If you just let it run like it is supposed to then the natural outcome is for success. Whenever a President and Congress lowers taxes and gets rid of unneeded regulation then what happens? The economy explodes with growth. So the freedom of the American people to work,live, and spend the way they want is actually good for the country. Larger government is the antithesis. Government does not create wealth. It consumes wealth and strangles the ability for people to build it.Majority of Americans say U.S. is one of the greatest countries in the world

If you think being black means something different from being human, you the problem.
Good Lord. Seek help. Soon.
It’s Trumpian speak. I don’t fully understand it. But I think it’s a roundabout way of reframing wars in a negative way to compensate for knowing they don’t have what it takes to face danger.
No. The greatest generation is more known for our post war accomplishments in business, politics, arts, athletics, culture, — everything.
I think the Marshal Plan is one of that generations greatest accomplishments.
NO, HE has forgotten the racist and bigoted views of the GOP. That white men only should rule America, That Black people are not equal, to kill black progress and advancement. We got trump because of POTUS OBAMA
Learn some history, moron. If it wasn't for the GOP, the Civil Rights act wouldn't have been passed.
Mostly for white people, white affirmative actions. You got housing, banking, and jobs. We were sent to separate parts of the city Ex, redlining We got Jim Crow. YOU guys destroy AA but you got Legacy, your parents and your grandparents College ED, JOBS, LAND, but more than that white power.
Obama was the deporter in chief. Record deportations, blew Trump out of the water.
