"Colonizers could slaughter the natives en masse in the same way a builder might clear brush before constructing a farm house." True, beyond sad., and bad enough, but the following, "The lowest white men of England — discarded prisoners and psychiatric patients, and misfits unable to fit into Britain’s polite society — whipped, burned, castrated, raped, and murdered African slaves simply to assert their superiority over something," is both an apt description of Donald Trump, as well as the rationale he uses to stoke a fear-and-hate frenzy into his ever-growing cult. And, yes, the US Supreme Cult has helped Donald Trump effectively kill what was arguably a great nation, or at least on its way to becoming one.
