Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Angrybrony  
Putting “/s” at the end or the whole thing in italics would help convey sarcasm.

@Angrybrony  
Indded, there should probably be an emoticon for that.

@phoenixacezero
 
Probably. But as he explained it he was this close to being aborted, which was the crux of his argument against it.
 
But yeah that and a theocratic state was his only platform.

@Dustcan  
Has he clarified what state religion he will be instituting?

@Latecomer
 
Christianity, natch.

@Latecomer  
all the option are bad.
 
 
@Goku Black
 
@Latecomer  
i thought the “ah yes” and stating how it’s clear opposite made it clear.

@Dustcan  
Yes, because American Christianity is a single unified church with actual policies and standards.
 
(Sarcasm, btw.)

Being honest Kanye saying he’s gonna run for president is probably just a giant PR stunt for him to try and boost whatever new album he makes at the time.

@Background Pony #1F81  
That may be what he thinks he’s going for, but he’s being baited into running, and legally and financially supported into doing so, by GOP and Trump campaign people that just want to put a third recognizable name on the ballot in states they think they it can wrest votes away from Biden.
 
So far it hasn’t worked out that well, as many states they’ve attempted to run that in have stricken him off the ballot for fraudulent applications/submissions.

@Background Pony #BE6A  
and thank the giant flying spaghetti monster for that.

Any thoughts on Trump’s proposed “Pro-American curriculum”?
 
Personally,I think it sounds like encouragement to forget and ignore things that make us uncomfortable. Native American genocide,slavery,racial segregation and the Vietnam war all happened,we should be ashamed of it. We can still be patriotic,because we can look at how far we’ve come from our past mistakes.  
Most people alive today had nothing to do with any of that,but we shouldn’t ignore the past. I’m sure Trump doesn’t literally mean don’t teach those things,but I’m worried that may be how people interpret it. I’ve already seen supporters of his who pick and choose what to listen to.

@Dex Stewart  
I don’t think people who had no part or say in or who didn’t exist during past events should feel shame in their having happened. Recognition that they occurred is a separate thing entirely, but teaching people to feel shame for things such as the past, things which they cannot change, is no different from teaching them to feel shame for other things beyond their control like skin color, height and sex.

@Dex Stewart  
There needs to be a balance to the curriculum at least. The current one is arguably anti-America, lead by predominately far left individuals, rather than just teaching history as it was.

@Dex Stewart  
sounds like another bad idea. just teaching people ignorance. if your going to teach american history then teach about all of it not just some of it.

@MagpulPony  
What’s Anti-American about it?

@Latecomer  
They tend to tech that America is a racist country, that our society as a whole is bad, many have taken it upon themselves to pick social justice issues to force on students without telling the parents, focus on all the bad America did hundreds of years ago, and completely leave out all the good, and things like that.

@MagpulPony  
I see. Well then perhaps a rebalancing is in order - although I warn you that a fair showing will not be particularly pro-American.

@MagpulPony  
«Repeat after me: We are evil! We must repent and step down from everything we have done!»

@Latecomer  
It actually would be. Again, emphasis on hundreds of years ago.

I’ve been out of school for over a decade now,but I remember being taught about all the things I mentioned,along with the founding fathers,the Revolutionary War,the World Wars and other very Pro-American things. Maybe it’s become one-sided since then?

@Dex Stewart  
Due to all the schooling from home due to Corona, parents are finally seeing just what their kids have been getting taught. And it’s not good.

@MagpulPony  
…you really think the last century is lacking in American evil?

Personally, we should the good things America done, the most fucked up things America has ever done. Almost every country in the world has some fucked up history.

@MagpulPony  
well we don’t have to go a hundred years to see the use gov doing sus shit, the vietnam war is right there.

@Angrybrony  
Latin America, too.
