Some would argue that those people are blistering idiots with a complete lack of knowledge about their nation's history.
- fictionfuture 9y agoAgree. Obamacare has been the most damaging policy enacted in my lifetime. And that's the opposite of what Trump is doing
- mynameishere 9y agoI think the media just needs to attack Trump in every situation no matter how unrelated to the subject matter. (19th century Russian literary criticism, for instance.) If you were obliged to phone it in like that, you'd probably not worry too much about nuance either.
- Nomentatus 9y agoSome would - but not you, as you give no argument, or point to any. Gainsaying is not a contribution.

- FeepingCreature 9y agoManifest Destiny. Smallpox Blankets. Trail of Tears. Slavery. Going to war to defend slavery. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Vietnam. Iraq. Iraq again. The prison system. Prohibition. Segregation. War on Drugs. I'm not even an American. Trump is embarassing. America has done a lot worse than embarassing.
- Nomentatus 9y agoThere's good evidence the British used smallpox (shards of cloth carefully sealed, not whole blankets) vs natives in N.A. Less evidence of U.S. (or Trump) involvement I believe. I'm not a Trump guy, I just like evidence more than assertion.
