    US has been riding on the intentions of FDR, but the Democratic National Convention of '44 where the southern democrats couped and replaced Wallace with a nobody from Missouri because FDR was too ill to go to bat for his long time VP is the cause for 80% of today’s problems (that is a stat I pulled straight out my gooch, but I stand by it to be roughly accurate).

      There was no single event. US citizens just generally seem to love sucking boot and so many of them will happily ruin their lives if it means that whatever minority group they’re told to hate will get it worse. Most of us Canadians, too. “Stupid and self-sabatoging” doesn’t even begin to adequately describe our two countries.
