The fact that the military's birthday keeps getting called 'Trump's birthday' shows how far we are sliding into fascism.
Coincidentally, it is both his birthday and the US army’s “birthday.” Both arrived on June 14th, one in 1775 and the other in 1946.
The fact that ya’ll care at all is fucking weird, dude.
Edit: since apparently I wasn’t clear, I’m saying that celebrating your military’s birthday is fucking weird. Ya’ll went places with this one and none of them were remotely close.
The fact that yall don't care how bad Donald Diddy is is fuckin weird
Congratulations on being fully illiterate, I guess, since I at no point said that I didn’t. In fact, as a Canadian(but more importantly, a human being) I care a great deal about how awful Trump is, thanks.
The context of your comments are so weird. You sure you're Canadian?
You do know this shit is far from fucking normal, right?
Yup! Which is exactly why I said what I said!
It just tells me that they're educated on national history. Educated enough to call bullshit when they see it.
What are you on about?
Except that what he’s doing is weird at every level and the military worship of the USA is well documented and bad. This dude is complaining that the military’s birthday is being co-opted by Trump and that’s the sign of facism but I’m wondering why there should even be anything to co-opt in the first place. It’s sucking off the military for so long that’s already clearly pushed the USA towards facism looooong before Trump being a douche did anything.
“Educated on national history”- oh, fuck off.
Makes sense. I see where you're coming from
Thank you.
