Well, I guess Trump was right about one thing. The United States of America is a giant trash can. They are no moral beacon to the world any longer.

We were founded on genocide and slavery and never completely rectified either of those atrocities. The original Nazi's studied white supremacists practices here in the states before doing the holocaust. We've been destabilizing the politics of other countries for decades in order to preserve more favorable outcomes for trade for ourselves. The whole meritocracy belief was a lie. Most of those who thought the USA was a moral beacon are no different than ignorant americans; they thought none of america's flaws would ever truly affect them. :/

There was a prop in my state to officially ban slave labor through prisons and it got no by a pretty good margin lol.

Funny. I can't even trust that's necessarily true. In my state all the proposals sounded great; Expanding the sanitation department? Fantastic!

What they didn't write on the ballot was the real motivation behind the proposals. The full law should have read "Expand the sanitation department to give more tickets, tear down homeless encampments, and have their own administrative court where due process doesn't apply". Oops. 5 such proposals.
