    There are so many stories from WW2 about how Americans didn’t unite.

    Here’s one of my favorites Patriots complained about air crews painting naked ladies on their planes. They were fine with kids getting drafted and sent overseas, but God Forbid they thought about S*X

      The reason for that was because America wasn’t much affected by WW2 before Pearl Harbor.

      A threat to the entire planet would include America, even if they like to pretend they are separate from the rest of the world.

      Yeah bullshit like that happened. But that bullshit didn’t prevent the allies from accomplishing their objective, did it?

      So it proves that bullshit doesn’t prevent things from happening. Though I think magnifying minor bullshit problems to the point where people give up on achieving anything may actually prevent things from happening.

        99% of propaganda is getting people upset over minor stuff. Right now the GOP is pushing two ideas at once; that Joe Biden isn’t doing anything about the border AND that stopping Biden’s border bill is a priority. Too mad to think straight is the goal.
