    Didn’t tump say that he was referring to the early 1900s when asked what he was referring to? Ya know the time period known as the gilded age that was rife with robber barons and no labor laws. The period which took wealth inequality to the max resulting in the great depression…

    Maga has no clue what actually made America great…

      The crazy thing is that back then was also the time of peak immigration at Ellis Island etc. Even if you try to give MAGAs the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t trying to be evil, their ideology is just flat-out incoherent!

      I saw entrepreneur, alpha male bro pages (probably AI-made) on Instagram stating that childhood is a modern concept and deriding the fact that kids don’t work anymore and all this “discovering yourself first” is utter bull. This is literally what the right has been advocating by slowly eroding workers and children’s rights! They seriously believe that “the children yearn for mines”.

      Fucking psychopaths!
