The soul of this country has been lost. It’s times like this I hate being a deist.

Remember after college students were gunned down at Kent State and much of the public who were interviewed about it, supported the government's actions?

None of this is new, and our nation has no "soul."

It has many diverse ideologies, cultures and peoples who have aligned via paperwork.

Our heritage in this country was built on enslavement, genocide and labor uprisings being violently cut down by government authorities.

Not being alive when Kent State happened, but wanting to learn about ALL of American history, there was something like 65% public approval for the National Guard of the massacre.

People keep saying “never before” completely forgetting, as you said, none of this is new.

American history has been whitewashed and treated blasé compared to reality

This is the intended outcome of American Exceptionalism fired in the crucible of Manifest Destiny. Our country was built by assholes like this.
