  1.  Bryzz Lull   Ummm, you should read a history book, or two. There was no American founding in the 16th century. Jamestown wasn't even settled until 1607, the beginning of the 17th century. Plymouth was settled in 1620. Then came waves of Puritans, who basically created a theocracy. They enslaved or killed natives that didn't convert. They banished, persecuted, or killed other Christians who didn't conform, including Quakers. They banished, persecuted, or killed non-Christians. They killed people for "witchcraft". They forced church attendance. They forced a dress code. They outlawed PDAs. Etc. There was no liberty, at all. By the time the later 18th century rolled around, when the 1775 revolution occurred, British parliamentarians had already fought three civil wars against royalists, and chopped off a king's head, over a hundred years earlier. They had also already enacted a number of bills outlining subject rights (petition of right, habeas corpus act, and bill of rights), during that time, as well. What American revolutionaries originally wanted was the same rights and freedoms as those in the motherland, where those things had already existed for over a century. British common law was so much better than colonial laws at protecting individual rights, slavery couldn't survive it. When Americans created their own constitution and bill of rights, they used the British one as a model. But, their rights didn't protect everyone's liberty, and they still conserved chattel slavery, and only managed to get rid of it by fighting a bloody civil war against those willing to kill and die to conserve it forever, decades after the British Empire had abolished it in all the other colonies it still owned, and everyone said okay, without a fight. Those millions of freed American slaves, and their descendants, were still stripped of rights, discriminated against, persecuted, and even killed, for another hundred years, before the US came up with a civil rights act, after a great struggle against those trying to conserve those lack of rights, that finally protected everyone. Americans are actually a slow bunch, when it comes to freedoms, compared to many other countries, due to so many of them trying to conserve the exact opposite of liberty. They are not at the forefront, at all. America "created" so much, for so many, because it had a ton of open land (well, once the natives were cleared out), and people were given free land ... government handouts. This also happened in Canada and Australia, both of which rank better than the US on the freedom index, on the happiness index, on quality of life, on healthcare, on education, etc., etc. Conservatives do not believe in smaller government. They love a big military and expanded policing, both of which are expanding government. Conservatives do not believe in a free market, and work towards helping monopolies, all the time, as well as support corporate welfare. So, all you basically said was ... conservatives believe in pure bullshit and propaganda.

  2.  Phantom Alpha  What's something you understand? Do you understand that there's actually been a negative overall migration rate with Mexico, for about a decade? Do you understand that the majority of undocumented aliens are actually visa overstays? Do you understand that the majority of visa overstays are Canadians? Do you understand that the economy was on the exact same upward trend, before Trump came along, and that his first year in office was still Obama's final budget? Do you understand that trickle down is a proven failure? Do you understand that the wealth disparity of the Gilded Age ended with labour riots, race riots, and a great depression, and that you have the opportunity to avoid any of that by jumping right to backing a new New Deal? Do you understand that the "free" healthcare in other developed countries costs less? Do you understand that it also gets better results, overall? Seriously, what is it you think you understand?
