The Antifa Myth

[Pete F.]

Now in an effort to prove his alignment with White Supremacy, Tweety’s new ad proclaims the historical greatness of manifest destiny.

Manifest Destiny, a phrase coined in 1845, is the idea that the United States is destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent.

When you are done with Rules for Radcals or NY Times articles on why we need to cancel Washington and Jefferson, I challenge you to go back through history,take the US out, and wonder where things would be without us.

No one here would likely be in a better position than they are today. Half of us, if ever even born, would still be in Europe, consumed by the violent warring of those countries.

It is childish to put today's lens on 100 or 200 years ago.

That's an excellent point and way of looking at the supposed horror we used to be.

But the Dems and anti-Trumpists are concerned more about getting rid of Trump than any rational examination of American history. And the growing leftist, socialist, Marxist, element of the Democrat Party is about replacing historically political America with one embracing a totally opposite ideology. And the big lie is one of its most powerful means to power.

Trump's 4th of July speech was a unifying praise of our past including the importance of all our truly American heroes, including many black ones, and no mention of or praise for Confederate heroes. Yet he was criticized for delivering a racist, divisive speech that somehow gave a nod to white supremacy and the Confederacy.

Just another in the long train of misrepresenting or lying about what Trump says. It's too bad that he has to keep making his artless tweets and comments, giving the left (and Pete) their constant opportunities to negatively frame his words.

And it seems to be working. The problem, as I see it, is making the election about Trump instead of the real issue, the ideological divide.
