The United States was founded on the concept of diversity (many different immigrants), equity (all men are created equal), inclusion (all should be given the opportunity to be happy and pursue prosperity). Our nation was formed to oppose British rule over taxes and religious freedom. A government was formed for the people and by the people.
The independence war happened in 1775 - 1783
The political parties of Republicans and Democrats were founded in 1828 and 1850, over 50 years later.
Both parties have from day 1 been on the right side of the political spectrum, corrupt and favoring the rich.
There is no miracle BOTH parties have always been anti immigrants and pro authoritarian patronizing of the population.
I know that the parties themselves formed later, but the types people that made up the parties, people with those particular beliefs, have existed for a long time
And it’s disingenuous to say that both sides are rightwing and pro-rich when they never were. Even if they occasionally agree on a couple of things, the differences in beliefs are too obvious to ignore.
You mean you really fell for their distractions?
It's divide and conquer, the Romans knew how it works over 2000 years ago and you today still don't get the point?
BOTH parties take from the middle class and give to the rich, BOTH parties double the national debt roughly every 6 years, BOTH parties subsidize the largest corporations from tax payers money, Elon Musk has been the largest recipient of corporate welfare in history during Trumps first term already, during Bidens term as well and will still be during Trumps second term, there is absolutely no difference whatsoever.
Now give it a logic thought, if you want to run politics for the rich and you want to make it look like there was a democratic choice in elections, what's the easiest way to do that?
You launch TWO parties who both want to enrich the rich ever further and then you find a few topics that aren't in the way of this, where you position the two parties on opposite sides of these topics, you launch gigantic propaganda on both sides of these topics, splitting the population as close to 50/50 as possible.
The end result is a nation completely divided over topics like abortions, switching every 8 years or so from Democrats to Republicans and back, arguing so much about abortions that nobody notices that BOTH parties celebrate how successfully they have divided and conquered the nation, that the people don't even notice anymore that both parties are doing the same thing.
There’s been multiple parties over the years, and many have gone through changes. The reason republicans and democrats are the largest is because most Americans align with one of those two, that’s just the way it is.
The middle and lower classes generally do better financially, legally, and public safety-wise under republicans than democrats.
Republicans have consistently supported border security and legal immigration, while democrats at best rode whatever tide made them look good.
I shouldn’t have to tell you where republicans and democrats stand on healthcare and gun rights.
Finally, Republicans have always pushed for equality, unity, and meritocracy; while democrats always pushed for segregation, division, and favoritism. The only thing democrats changed was how they preach their bigotry. If you really think affirmative action and diversity quotas haven’t been harmful to society at large, then you’re the one who’s fallen for their propaganda and distractions.
The two were never the same; once in a blue moon they might agree on something, but that’s it. The fact that some rich elitists are smart enough to profit regardless of who’s in charge doesn’t mean anything.
Both parties are so anti-immigrant that, with the notable interregnum of the 1920's - 1960's, the country has been constantly flooded with immigrants for nearly two centuries.
Mark, you would need three promotions just to become a moron.
Now Israel run us! Every level of GOV, every level of biz, every level of the military complex, every level of banking. How is that for people and by the people.
Big difference between immigrants and illegal aliens. Mostly in the "illegal" part. They don't pay income tax, hence don't add anything to the "pot". They cost us billions every year. They are a drain on the economy.
