    Trump was the first one to try to repeal the 14th amendment, the one Lincoln was famous for signing off on, so that Trump can try to take away the rights of, imprison, and remove anybody he wants at any time without a real warrant.

    Don’t try to normalize this shit.

      He did something bad to Americans instead of Americans doing something bad to the rest of us for once.

      Don’t normalize the rest of your shit.

        1- It was a joke about how America is racist

        2- Most everyone here knows our presidents are no saints. But none have been openly this evil. And if you make all of them devils, how do you signify one has been worse to his people than the devil?

        3- you’re literally getting butthurt about emojis

          No, I’m getting butthurt over US presidents and their inhumane acts.

          Now stop getting literally butthurt over some Latin characters.

        The fact that you had to go back just under 200 years to find another example really illustrates how bad it is.

              But they also went back to 1954, refuting your entire premise of that they had to go back 200 years to find anything.

              Just admit you didn’t know when it was and take the L.

      The tweet is from Jan. 16, 2017. I have no idea why a nearly 10-year-old tweet is being reposted

    To be fair, while yes, we’ve had a number of similarly bad presidents before (I’d personally argue that Jackson might have been actually worse even, but it’s hard to compare given how different the world is from his day), the point of a lot of stuff like this is to try to motivate people to act against the current one. Including more nuance to something like this makes it less emotionally impactful, and unlike those previous presidents, who can’t be pressured or resisted unless one has a time machine, Trump is in office today.

      My point is to motivate people to act against the status quo of evil. Trump is in office today, someone will be in office tomorrow, the American evil will continue.

      America needs to go. Split it up and make a few smaller countries out of the land, and ensure none ever has the power to abuse the world again.
