I wanted the USMB crew to weigh in on this
No. Real Americans don't have defeatist attitudes like that. We are slowly...but steadily.....becoming more progressive. It's a tough row to hoe....as we have a sizable population of idiots...but we are getting it done. The more progressive....the stronger the middle class.
You can't beat us....you may as well join us.
Defeatist? Wow. You remind me of the NKVD and their commissars who murdered "defeatist" troops. Reducing government control of the people is always a good thing. Unfortunately progressivism generates MORE government control. Progressivism is evil.
