Why do you believe Lincoln was a tyrant?
He invaded the south because he was butthurt over a few forts at the expense of 700,000 lives even though there was no law preventing succession.

The Russians were more instrumental in the Allies defeating the Axis than the United States.
The US wouldn't have won the Revolutionary War without the French.

Thread winner!
Because that war was portrayed as a white hate black issue we have the cess of racism in American society today. Screw Hollywood

Joseph McCarthy was right and way ahead of the game. He has been demonized through the years by the very people he was correct about in order for them to discredit him and gain political power.

I don't know about that one. I know where it comes from, and you're not wrong in that thinking. But my counter point is this. The Russians were using US Trucks, US food and US bullets. Without American logistics, Russia gets overrun in year two of Barbarossa.

The US only won the Revolutionary War because England viewed the colonies as such a low priority. Multiple better generals turned down the commission because it was beneath them, so it fell to Sir William Howe, who didn't want to fight and avoided multiple decisive battles like they were the clap.

The 17th, 19th, and 26th amendments were horrible mistakes.

Democracy was the wrong choice.

Helen Keller was deaf, dumb, and blind. She might have been able to play a mean pinball, but she definitely didn’t earn degrees and write books.

The Patriot Act was a horrible piece of legislation, and America is still paying for it.

I'm aware of lend lease, overall that was maybe 15% of Russia's military resources, pretty much whatever Russia couldn't produce on their own. Russian manpower tied up about 70-80% of Germany's war effort.
I didn't say that the US was not instrumental in the Axis defeat.

William Travis was the GOAT trash taller doing all the heavy lifting while Jim Bowie clowned everyone and stayed in bed leaving Davey Crocket to defend women at church.
In order of awesomeness
1. Travis
2. Crocket
3. Bowie
