America is one of the few countries where equal rights and opportunity is a fundamental belief. MAGA could just as easily go to another country if they don't like that.
One of the few? Sounds like you have not been abroad much or suffer from "American exceptionalism".
I thought for many other countries equality wasn't a foundational belief, it was adopted later after the country was formed.
it was 100% never a belief. it was always propaganda. source? ask any native american. or descendant of a slave. or descendant of an irish immigrant. or mexian person. or poor person.
In the Deceleration of Independence it states that "All men are created equal" and have certain rights like life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. In practice, sure, things are different.
The US doesnt even crack the top 20 in the Human Rights Index my dude.
propaganda*
slaves and natives didn't have much opportunities in the colonies.
I've seen a lot of things about America. I've seen these claims, over and over, but the contents of those claims? Rarely. I see the claims in practice in many countries, but never in the US.
It's always screaming freedum, yet the only "freedoms" Americans ever had were guns, cars, and yelling insults
And pushing their interests onto the rest of the world
I had a Chinese colleague of mine say America is a paradise for women. I've never been to China, so I'm not sure what to compare it to.
This 100%
"If you dont love it, leave it."
I love saying this to the people who historically have been the ones saying it because those same people say shit like "woke is ruining the country."
"If you don't like woke America, then leave."

It's that time of year again:
Remember to talk to your kids about Christopher Columbus. The story they are getting from school is incomplete white-wash revisionist history.
Not saying to teach your 1st graders about rape and pillage, but, ya know, make sure they know he's not a peachy hero.
Especially if you are Italian-American. We really are the worst with the Columbus worship.
Christopher Columbus went to hurt the Natives!
On behalf of the Empires in Europe, they killed, enslaved, and poisoned many until the Natives lost their rights!
Well I hate America.
Common rhetorical trick of authoritarians to equate love of the country with love of the regime. The two are in no way related and frequently at odds.
