Americans don't realize that they shouldn't pick and choose which rights are good or not. The Bill of Rights is a package deal. You either believe in freedom or don't. Americans shouldn't say they hate free speech, but then turn around and say they love gun rights. Americans sound like hypocrites when they scream wiretapping is fine, but torture is bad.

Watching Americans using mental gymnastics to explain their talking points and hypocrisy is difficult to watch today.

Americans scream Obama was an evil monster for embracing war, debt, and tyranny, but then Americans turn around and insist Trump is a holy god for supporting war, debt, and the police state.

The same Americans who love the free market scream closed borders turned North Korea into a stunning success.

Americans insist that the US always had food stamps.

Americans swear North America was uninhabited in 1491.

Americans say you must have an ID to vote, but don't think you should need an ID to buy a gun.

Americans insist 10 year olds should be charged as adults for murder, but 20 year olds shouldn't be allowed to drink.

Americans scream Trump arresting Assange and letting Clinton skate is 4D chess.

Americans swear banning bump stocks is fine because bump stocks are just toys.

Americans insist outlawing silencers today would never lead to pistols being banned.

Americans say mosques should be closed because Islam is not a religion.

Americans say only the government can tell the truth so newspapers should be shut because of fake news.

Americans say protesting should be banned because windows might be broken.

Americans scream TSA groping is fine because they have nothing to hide.

Americans say torture is good because other countries do it.

Americans insist forfeiture is good because the police have been using it for years.

Americans say NSA wiretapping is wonderful because it's just metadata.

Americans insist the only way to stop illegal immigrants from getting food stamps is building a wall instead of ending welfare.

Americans say debt is wonderful because debt doesn't need to be paid back.

Americans scream wars are good because Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.

The very same Americans who scream abortion must be illegal say bombing civilians is fine.

Americans are simply unable to understand that losing your rights means that they are lost forever and will only lead to more tyranny. A country that tortures cannot take the moral high ground and criticize other countries. Americans do not realize that whatever you allow the government to do to others will eventually be done to you.

The US is collapsing. The world has turned upside down.

Americans used to love freedom and fight Nazis and Commies, but have now become Nazis and Commies.

Americans cannot see hypocrisy, are completely ignorant of history, and don't realize the effects of unintended consequences and decrees.

Fascists say Clinton was a monster for getting a blowjob, but don't mind that Trump broke the law by cheating on his wife with a prostitute.

Nazis say Germany didn't have any concentration camps, but then Fascists turn around and scream anyone who thinks the Mexican border has concentration camps should go to Germany to see real concentration camps.

Fascists say mudshits are poor, but then say Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rich.

Americans think that they are holy gods because the US has nuclear bombs and torture, but then turn around and say North Koreans are evil because they have nuclear weapons and torture.

Americans say that they live in a free, peaceful country with a balanced budget, but anyone who offers opposing evidence is called a racist and a nutjob and gets banned, gets an IRS audit, is arrested, or killed.

The elites have turned everyone into criminals, liars, hypocrites, and cowards. The only good thing about living in a police state is that no one can take the moral high ground on anything.

Maybe the best Americans can do right now is dropout, become anonymous, buy a sailboat, and leave.

How could Americans fall so far?

Do you think Americans would have accepted gun bans in 1790?

Do you think Americans would have agreed to an income tax in 1850?

Do you think American train passengers would have accepted being groped by the TSA in 1860?

How do patriots feel when they are told that anyone who opposes NSA wiretapping is a libshit?

Maybe one can understand why the elites and the vast majority of Americans love tyranny, but you know all hope is lost when Libertarians have given up, too.
