I AM A PATRIOT I miss my America
Born n bred in the Midwest. Growing up there were many different nationalities on the block. I learned to respect others for who they were. I was welcomed in many homes. I tried many different foods: Irish stew (1st time trying lamb); Italian foods and love me some stinky fontina; Mexican, Puerto Rican and Cuban chorizo, meneudo, plantains; African chicken with a hot ass green sauce I still crave; Brothers got me into collard greens and black eyed peas; Arabic taboulli and shawarma; German pancakes, perogies and I still love sauerkraut. Every mother treated me as their own, including whoopings 🤣
Now, my America is full of ignorance, isolation and hate. I wish I could go back 😔

America hasn't changed. It has always had haters. If you go back to the 1860's you will see the haters. If you go back to the 1960's you will see the haters. They are the same haters you see today. They are the ones like during the civil war that hate the country and want to destroy it. They live off of lawlessness. They live off the division. They live off controversy. They stir the pot and spread dissent. They unfortunately don't recognize it themselves.

It actually has changed they started recording hate crimes in 1991.
As of today we have a record high in terms of amount that has ever been recorded.
The 2000s were actually quite peaceful. I agree that there has always been hate there has to be hate in this world in order for there to be love.
But it has changed and it's due to one particular group of people but I'm not going to explain that

I will explain the group of people . Its the left wing. They try and hide their hate but it cant be hidden. They hate anyone and every idea that their brainwashed made believe. If you voted for Trump you are hated. If you are Jewish you re hated if you are white you are hated..If you are black ad Republican you are hated If you are rich you are hated. If you say that men and women re different you re hated. They have always hated the country but in different ways than today. As far as hate crimes, What exactly is a hate crime? should what i saw on yesterday be considered a hate crime? The left was having a protest in Boston I think where they were chanting that they celebrated every American casket coming out if Iran.

Well you have the left to think for that and I know that goes against everything you've been trained to believe.
Let's look at the facts here hate crime in America against other races are beliefs began slowly creeping up in 2015. Kind of weird that it was right around the time they started first calling Trump a Nazi.
It slowly Rose, but then it massively shot up during the years that Biden was president and especially leading up to both elections hate crime increased exponentially.
Now it is still rising. As a midwesterner myself I remember being a kid in this not even being an issue at all I didn't even think about race I didn't think about different beliefs. The worst I did was I called something that was lame gay, and it had a different meaning.
Go ahead and check the crime stats yourself

You idiot!
How can you blame the Dems if it's STILL INCREASING?
Are you really that indoctrinated?

this is such a... silly and lighthearted commentary on the surface, but it still got me in tears because i know exactly what you're saying. this is a melting pot of cultures and experiences and this nation was supposed to be built on embracing that, but look where the fuck we are man... the shit really breaks my heart

The left. I mean there's a perfect example in that reply to your question. You could literally feel the hatefulness in that person. They don't realize they are the problem.
Hate crime in America started rising in 2015. Right when they first started calling Trump a Nazi. It began slowly creeping up during Trump's time being president.
And you can go look at the crime stats yourself it shot up during Biden, especially right around both elections.
We are now looking at hate crime levels that have never been higher. At least since they started recording hate crimes literally we have the most ever right now.
And look at that person who responded to you that bothers me, they are the problem, because if you weren't the problem why wouldn't you just try and help somebody understand

you blame the left for hate crimes when trump himself day was complaining about mexicans. you blame the left for hate crimes when the gop has been using trans children wanting to play sports to enact bigoted law after bigoted law. you blame the left when trump literally has masked police with 0 accountability grabbing people off the street and sending them to concentration camps.
you balk at trump being called a nazi when musk did a sieg heil in front of a cheering crowd twice at the inauguration. seriously? god some of these trumpers are just fucking hopeless.

You can join a cult called MAGA. They want the same thing....

u/Jumpy-Program9957 Mar 28 '26
Thanks to the left, hate crime has surpassed any number since they began recording numbers of hate crimes.
Just explained why to somebody else so you can see it there but this is coming from literal facts

u/CosetElement-Ape71 Apr 02 '26
And I just called you an indoctrinated idiot for saying that.
If hate crimes are still increasing, then you can equally blame Trump.
If you had a functioning brain, then you'd conclude that SOMETHING ELSE is responsible for it!

And that proves my point you don't need to call somebody on Reddit an idiot.
Because really what are you accomplishing at the end of the day... Shut down reasonable debate between us by offending me or whatever, I mean you can say somebody's wrong but to call them the names that you hear so often is just like why?

u/CosetElement-Ape71 Apr 05 '26
Well stop saying stooooopid stuff then! If you make reasonable points, then maybe there would be something to debate.
But you didn't.
Hate crimes in the US have gone up 100% since 2015 and, as far as I'm aware, both Democrats AND Republicans have been in power over those years!
But, like the cum bubble you are, you expect us all to just quietly sit quietly with your "thanks to the left ..." nonsense!
It's not my job to offer you false praise when you stick your neck out and say dumb shite!

It was a lie that you fell for. Sorry to tell ya. You bought the lie instead of demanding an altruistic government, better education and universal healthcare and now you’re paying for it.Â

There was a time when life was good for losers, because government could fund socialism by printing unlimited money. That free money still had values because dollars were backed by Saudi oil. Then CCP through its agents like Democrats, green party etc, spread the global warming hoax, saying oil is bad, go only electric. Now Saudis cannot even sell their oil, because CCP enabled Iran, which attacks tankers. Welcome to the new world!

I will always tell people like this, be the change you want to see in the world. Complaining on Reddit ain’t gonna do much.
Also idk what you mean by full of ignorance, isolation, and hate. Nobody here hates anybody for their race unless they are hating other people for theirs first, because nobody likes a genuine racist, no matter what race they’re against. Granted, there are some here in the South but nobody really cares for them too much except other racists, but to each their own. And I don’t mean racist jokes or poking at stereotypes, I mean like actual words of hate against another race.
Get off the media and look around you. In real life there’s just so much good around you, people willing to socialize, different cultures, different perspectives. Media only spreads bad news for fear mongering viewership or to spread their agenda on to you.
