The Trump party is now the party that supports racism and all sort of rubbish. Remember Trump retweeting white power and that of another video of a black boy beating up a white boy just to create division.

The civil war was fought because white people in Southern US did not want slavery of black people to end. The Confederate flag is the flag of the Southern militants that fought the US government.

Can you guess the party that confederate flag flying people support? It's no surprise that racists and far right Nazi idiots all line up behind trump and the Republican party.

After what the US went through in the hands of Trump,it is still recovering from the Shock of how a racist almost led a successful coup.

Mike Pence (Trump's VP) also almost lost his life in the pro-Trump Republicans January 6 chaos and Trump said Pence deserved it.

Aren’t you acting woke by hesitating on child bearing?

The decision to have or not have children is wokeism at its finest. If you hate wokeness so much, just reproduce as you’re traditionally and religiously excepted to. It’s one your duties in a traditional non-woke society.

I want to see what happens in 2024 first because with the way things are going., we may have a civil war soon.

Yeah, the current state of affairs in the US would surely put senior citizens and veterans as this noble centenarian in a sombre mood. The new generation just seems to take advantage of some lax laws of the land by behaving recklessly. The land of the free is becoming too free to a fault.

Btw miss, I like for you this your moniker. It's quite lovely. I suppose it means QueenMary, which I think it's the Spanish version of ur moniker.

This is not the darling country our forefathers fought for also.
That being said.........

Each and any politicians that have stolen from our National treasury, and make life difficult for Nigerians, since independence, no matter the political party they are, they will never enjoy their stolen goods in good health and peace till the rest of their miserable lives.

For all the suffering people are going through in this nation, any looting and thieving politician, from past to present will not end well.

And this also goes to their supporters, nothing good will come their way in life.

All these prayers will happen to those that support evil government and evil policies starting with the ever useless and wicked Darling Daddy Crooner, plz say amen to that.

The drug movement back then was wicked compared to now. They literally had Italian mobs and Mexican gangs doing all sorts.

And they also had a depression so bad that they named it “The Great Depression “.

So what are you talking about?

Him being a Veteran I respect him and tip my hat in salutation. Ever been to Plant City Florida? I have and trust me that is Donald Trump's country. What he misses are the good old time when people like you and I ride at the back of the bus. America is changing and what is currently going on can be described as a person having a fever pretty soon the fever has to break. Nobody has ever laid a bet on America and lost. In the 1980s people were talking about Japan taking over the world and what happened back to the good old USA. The new fad is China even with a population of over 1.3B people can anyone name me one innovation that has ever come out of China in the past 10 years. This country with all its faults, and the good Lord knows we do have a lot, is still the one shining beckon of hope for mankind. A survey in China shows that 70% of the Chinese people desire to migrate to the USA. God Bless this Home of the Brave and Land of the Free from sea to shining sea.

You overlooking one minor details partner in 1965 both parties switch sides. Trump party as it presently constituted hates your guts. I am not a Democrat far from it. But if I have to choose between the two parties I will hold my nose and go with the Democrats. The Republicans have gone completely off the rail and getting close to been declare as being comatose. A party that relies solely on the white votes in order to win in a multicultural ethnic society is committing political malpractice. White people are 65 - 70 % of the population for Republicans to win they will need to win 85% of the total white votes and that ain't happening. Obama won twice winning just 28% of the white votes. George Bush father was the last Republican to win the popular votes. They have been lucky so far winning via Electoral College votes. And time is running on that formula. Once Texas goes blue that will be their death nail. Biden lost both Florida and Ohio and still won with 306 electoral votes.

Ha, I’m on my second Tesla while you can’t afford a generator, pant to cover your poverty-stricken, diseased ass, or one square meal a day. I was born in the US and My maternal grandfather fought in WWII, you meth smoking, drug addicted, deranged stalker. The uncured venereal diseases you’re walking around with have your mental condition deteriorating even further. You’re mad at me because your government confiscated and crushed your okada and now you can’t even earn a pauper’s salary but why? It’s not my fault. You’re also still livid because your visa application was rejected five times? Not my fault. Nobody wants you here or in Nigeria, you’re like a flea infesting a wood rat’s right testicle.

You don’t know anything about me or my family and how could you when you never knew your own sperm donor or the crippled toto olosho that dropped you from their rotten loins. Go read the stories about the looming food shortages in Nigeria or sell some more of your diseased ynash to white male tourists, allowing them to record you and upload it to pornhub and stop stalking me, you herpes and HIV infected cult reject.

You’re taking chemo for someone else’s cancer. Worry about Nigeria: https://www.nairaland.com/7212317/russian-ukrainian-war-contributing-nigerias#114441637

The man is outdated. That’s what happens when one is old and everything changes around them. Maybe he misses been able to boss around black people based on the colour of their skin. If he could lose eighty full years, I can guarantee he’ll spend the time been destructive without a care like youths of today. For him to still believe the American military is a collection of heroes means his time to go is long overdue.
