I wish so badly I could edit the title to more accurately reflect what happened. “Police shoot reporter in the back.”

    You think the U.S. was great in the late 70? I guess if you were a straight white guy then of course.

      Would you mind pointing out where I said that?

      Go ahead.

      I’ll wait.

        Well the brief period of time before Reagan was the late 70s… A truly horrific time for the U.S. but you seem to think it was a period of sanity.

          Actually, screw this. Let me just cut this off now so I can get on with my life.

          The country had one brief period of some sanity

          The operative word in that sentence is the word SOME. Stop painting my opinions to be all or nothing, stop shoving words down my throat, and actually read what I have to say. I also did not specify the period I was talking about, only that Reagan drop kicked it out. You made an enormous amount of assumptions and pretended as if they were reality. They’re not.

          If you are curious next time, the correct thing to do is ask for elaboration or clarification.

          Please stop wasting my time.

              You’re either a troll or literally incapable of understanding that “some” means certain things I pick, not you.

              Whatever the reason, the outcome is the same.

                …but you could pick any moment in history and it would have “some” sanity. So you effectively said nothing.
