        Or, like, any pre-2008 American history lmao

        Recognizing human rights was an anomaly over the last few years, not the norm

          You’re not wrong, but I also don’t think the US is unique in that regard. There’s been a lot of bullshit going on, even in countries that you would never imagine things like that happening in.

      In most decent states there’s been a ton of progress. I never claimed we were always perfect. No country has been.

        No I know. I would say all countries are pretty fucked up actually. Because human leaders are greedy and awful human beings in most cases.

        You say “decent states” as if you think rural east Oregon is better than Atlanta in that regard, just because Oregon is blue and Georgia is red.
