you can still tell lies dw

We can no longer say that the President of the United States is the leader of the free world.

when was the usa leader of the free world though?
the usa has always had slaves and promoted slavery lol
or is that what "the free world" is? 🤔

they mean the world of free enterprise

they mean the negative freedom of the enlightenment, the freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want bar none.

they were leaders in the sense that you had to do what the usa said or they would kill you

As a non American, I've never said that.

Lying always in play, might as well pretend when things are going to shit. Definitely soothes the minds of the masses

Pisses me off to no end how liberals buy into this American Myth MORE than the far-right, like *no* the rest of the world *isn't* yearning for your dogshit country & leadership 24/7, can you please get the fuck away already?

they are true conservatives in every sense of the word and they refuse to have some introspection to realise this

I doubt they'd even see it as a problem.

Like... "Yeah, we're the *real* patriots, we're better at being Republicans than the Republicans themselves!", isn't that just the centrist ideal?

You're basically describing the Harris campaign, so yeah

I would argue telling lies is actually the most legal and consequence-free now than it ever has been

Such a bizarre holdover from the Cold War. These people snapped their minds shut after they read a sixth-grade history book and have been coasting ever since.
