Summary
Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.
While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.
Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.
Completely ignoring the make up of Congress during Obama’s second term seems kind of disingenuous…
Now that I’m old enough to remember shit that happened decades ago, it is absolutely wild how easy it is to convince people, on a massive scale, to remember things differently than how they actually happened.
It’s actually terrifying.
It’s no coincidence that the precipitous rise in American fascism began at the exact time that “the greatest generation” died out… You know, the ones who actually remembered what it was like the last time.
I’m not talking about how Obama II was a lame duck presidency, I’m talking about how Obama himself seemed to shift right in many regards. He has reason to be jaded with the Republicans, sure, but he also seemed to have little patience for the asks of the left, too. I remember being pretty surprised when Obama was asked if he was going to legalize gay marriage or some other pro-lgbt policy and he just flat out said “no”.
