Congress passing the Taft-Hartley act and then overriding Truman’s veto of it to enact laws to cripple unions (which made important union activities illegal, like solidarity strikes, jurisdictional strikes, and mass picketing) and basically completely fucked up unions, before Reagan went ahead and fucked them up even more than previously thought possible again
Created Wilsonian doctrine that led to forever wars
Segregated the federal government.
Wrote Southern Revisionism
Fostered the second founding of the KKK
Erected a bunch of statues of traitors that specifically said to never erect statues of them.
Probably caused Lenin, and Stalin thereby causing Hitler and WWII plus a host of downstream knock-on effects such as The Cold War and the demonization of socialism and communism in the US.
Robbed us of Teddy’s third and fourth terms in office.
Good thing we have this expert history book reader to tell us that the first thing the UNITED STATES did wrong was import slaves into the ENGLISH COLONY of Virginia in 1619
I’m not in the business of arguing with dumb fucks. Clearly when they declared indepence from England they could have freed the slaves or you know sent them back to England, because you think it was the king who owned the slaves. Do you understand or should I draw you a picture with crayon?
Let’s try to make a list of where America went wrong
The Louisiana Purchase: turned the nation into an expansionist empire.
Andrew Jackson ignoring the rule of law so he could genocide the natives
Lincoln keeping Johnson as his VP while at war with the south.
Ending reconstruction early
FDR not hanging the conspirators in the business plot
Nixon using the Southern Strategy to win his election
Ford pardoning Nixon
Everything Ronald Reagan did
Ruby Ridge, Waco, and NAFTA radicalization of rural Americans
Supreme Court awards GWB the presidency
The Iraq War
Unregulated banks allowed to crash the global economy
Limited US involvement in the Arab Spring fails to capitalize on popular movement, Syrian refugee crisis sends far right into overdrive
Allowing the host of celebrity apprentice to be President
Ignoring the COVID pandemic until it’s too late then not locking down hard enough.
Supporting Israeli genocide in Gaza
You forgot repealing the fairness doctrine.
Clinton’s telecom act did more damage to public knowledge and information than the fairness doctrine

Really, the Louisiana Purchase is the first thing you believe the US did wrong 😂.
Yes.

Yes it predates the country and continues from day 1. You win such a big skull you must have 1776 brain cells.
It seems you have read a book in the last 2 hours, I’m glad we’re in agreement that it doesn’t involve the US then
