The idea of freedom is actually kind of dangerous. It would be better to be ruled by someone, it's just that someone has to be a democrat and that's really the only condition. Otherwise it would suck.
When you start out with Slave Owners forming the bedrock of your nation, freedom was only ever a marketing slogan used by those with power to placate those without.
Even now that slavery is nominally no longer a thing, you have the highest prison population per capita on the planet and use those prisoners as essentially slave labour.
Maybe shut the F#%* up so we can build a narrative that’ll convince our redneck ass population to actually embrace positive changes instead of throwing around “Um Akshually’s” that make them wanna lash out?
We know it ain’t true now keep that to ourselves so the rest play along!
They were raised to be proud of their country. Pointing out how we’ve been assholes in the past just makes them want to lash out and give us all a middle finger.
F#%* sakes no wonder the Right wings gotten so successful when they’re the only ones who know how to communicate with the uneducated.
First off, it helps if you don't refer to them as "the uneducated". Secondly, the Rednecks were some of the most revolution and solidarity minded people out there. There's nothing more dangerous to the powerful than an educated populace.
People are pissed off and they have a right to be. Things are getting worse, the planet is dying and capitalism is eating everything they hold dear. There's a reason Luigi became a folk hero.
Taking that anger and turning it into a call for change requires people to understand change is possible.
We had some pretty good ideals laid out in our founding documents. For a while, it looked like we were getting closer to fulfilling them. But we have never been good at it, and for the last quarter century, we have been getting markedly worse, outside LGBTQIA+ rights. Which we are backsliding on.

And if you try to educate them on how we’ve always been bad. All you’re getting is a “fuck you” at best.
They wear the title “Uneducated” with PRIDE out here
