      So, what do you suggest? Give all the land back, and we all move to the ocean and die? How horrible is your life right now? What do you want others to do to make your life better?

    The US began with slavery.

    Then slavery ended (with the prison exemption, but still…)

    Only white male land owners had rights.

    But eventually all white males had rights.

    Then rights were expanded to black men.

    Then to women.

    Then segregation ended and interracial marriage is legal.

    Now same-sex marriage is legal.

    Soon we will have trans rights protections.

    Don’t give up. We’ve come a long way.

    This nation was started by white land owners for white land owners. But it has since evolved. More people have rights than ever before in the history of this country.

    Do not give up. We can’t let 200+ years of history go to waste because of two four-year terms of one politician.

        A ton of gender-affirming healthcare is illegal in most of the USA, the bathroom laws are a patchwork of un-navigable bullshit, the process for changing your legal name doesn’t really work, I could go on but I suspect you aren’t asking in good faith.

          I’m in California where there’s gender everything, gender neutral bathrooms, freedom for illegals, and you can pretty commit petty theft with no repercussions… my point is, this country is made up of individual states, that’s why each state has their own voting systems to elect politicians, pass laws, enforce laws…etc… just because you can’t get gender-affirmation surgery, or take a piss with women as a trans in Alabama, doesn’t mean the entire country is like this.

      It took me years to understand everything I heard or learned about the USA was propaganda, wishful thinking, misdirection, folk lore etc. And even longer to notice nobody understands how it works now.

        Please, explain to us how horrible your life is, and where you’d like to live, if you could? I’m seriously asking?

    This land is my land

    This land ain’t your land

    If you don’t get off

    I’ll blow your head off

    I’ve got a shotgun

    And you ain’t got one

    This land was made for me not you

      Please, explain to all of us how horrible your life is, and what the rest of us can do to change it?
