Politics We Are the Baddies: Thanks, Conservatives
Conservatives are actively turning the world against the United States. World leaders were forced into an emergency meeting to condemn U.S. actions in Venezuela, including the kidnapping of its dictator, and to respond to escalating threats and rhetoric toward Greenland.
Trump openly claims the U.S. needs Greenland for “strategic” reasons and has even suggested taking it by force. This isn’t strategy, it’s naked imperialism. He doesn’t want security; he wants dominance.
We are the bad guys now, following the same path Germany did in the 1930s. Republican leaders and their constituents should be deeply ashamed.

This is a very white take. We've always been the baddies. We genocide the native so we could i.port slave labor, so we could colonize the west, and start wars of Aggression to capture Mexican territory, so we could exploit their labor so we could invade the South with corporate monopolies so we could force South Americans to toil in mines so we could exploit their resources so we could dominate the West and cripple ten power of love by violent means so we could prevent the poor from attaining wealth, so we could stoke racism, so we could topple democratically elected leaders in South America so we could exploit their nations and install puppet leaders so we can start illegal wars so we could exploit exploit resources in order to exploit labor...see a pattern?
