Clinton got us into more conflict then trump has, at least, so far
but, again, not the point
IDK and in all seriousness with this statement- maybe you all just dont see the news the same way we do here? or rather, how it is presented to us here?
meaning, in the case of this post and the MAGA usage, that our media makes it seem to those who watch it that MAGA was only ever said by Trump, when independent research will show that is not true
reagan used it, clinton used it even hillary was using 'make america greater again' for awhile before anyone was taking trump seriously
so, my point is, all sides of the politics here do crazy, strange and flat out wrong things, its just that only one side ever gets reported on with a negative slant
another example of this media 'filter' here is the whole migrants in cages, family separation thing
the media has made so many ppl believe that these 'cages' were built under Trump. and that family sep was a policy started by trump,, when in fact both the cages and the separation policy was in place and in effect way before Trump was elected
but americans who watch the 'news' only get one side of the story
further they beleive everyone stays in these 'cages' forever when in fact many of the kids have been moved to military bases, like Ft Sill, where they are staying in the same housing that was used for the same purpose under the Obama admin.
these are the things that our wrong here- unbalanced information flow that only serves to polarize the american population

"i refuse to say whats wrong?"
not really true, i have said that past american actions of regime change and imperialism were and are wrong and that a retraction of american power should begin
that means that I do believe that these things were wrong. how could it be interpreted any other way? The things I have said certainly do not equate to me believing they were correct actions.
but overall, i am not going to apologize for the actions of those in govt who have done these things. many involved were not even elected officials, so cant even blame the voters
it was not in my power to effect these wrongs, so it is certainly not in my responsibility to apologize for them
