Banana Republics come to mind. But during the time frame the US was doing that, Most of Europe was still doing their own colonialisms.

It was only when Hitler brought colonialism back to Europe that they started to wake up to how bad it was. Well, some of them. France and England had to start losing colonial wars, mostly due to losses suffered in due to WW2, before they slowly started freeing colonies.

Just shows that everyone is shit, and cheering for a team is kind of stupid.

Spoiler, they won't. Most treat politics as a sports team. Elections are all about their team winning. And if they guy they elected is terrible, they convince themselves that the other guy was worse,

The best you can hope for is them giving up on voting for a cycle or two. Then they're right back in it, voting for team colors regardless of real world consequences.

The oddballs who actually care are the ones you hear from most, the assholes who like the cruelty.

Trump has plenty of experience as a human trafficker, but those were underage models in his little fake modeling agency, Trump Model Management, which was a friendly competitor to Epstein's MC2 Model Management.

But I can understand him not wanting to draw on that experience here. That and Hegaeth is a murderous fuck, and he was the one awake enough to give the order.

If it's just a single shot, then preventing the Brooks Brothers Riot would be the best use of your time.

All it would take is an industrial sized can of pepper spray. Just like the kind police regularly use on leftwing protesters.
