“What’s going to happen in this next election? I’m terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit, it affects us in ways sometimes I think people take for granted,” Obama told Jay Shetty on his podcast “On Purpose.”
“The fact that people think that government — ‘eh, does it really even do anything?’ — and I’m like ‘Oh my God, does government do everything for us, and we cannot take this democracy for granted.’ And I worry sometimes that we do. Those are the things that keep me up,” she said.
“The bars are different for people in life. That I’ve learned,” she said.

I mean yes they have always had the support of the US government, they’ve also historically not been quite as openly genocidal.
What the fuck are you even talking about? Andrew Jackson was an actual president that directly initiated the forced ethnic cleansing of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, and Seminoles.
And that’s just a taste of shit like that. You need to get your head out of your ass.
Well aren’t you a ray of sunshine. Did you actually read my post or did you just decide I needed to be attacked for things I didn’t say?
If you go back and read the context, I’m saying we have had bipartisan support for Israel for many years, but this year they’ve gotten significantly more genocidal than they normally are.
I didn’t say a fucking thing about what we did or didn’t do in the 1800s. Jackson was also a strong proponent of slavery, He was a well well-rounded bell end… Just because we were fuck wads in the 1800s doesn’t mean we need to openly support other people by giving them boatloads of money and guns so they can go and exterminate all the civilians they don’t like.
If you decide you still want to come at me I’m just going to block you.
