No national/universal healthcare? Socialist medical care is substandard at best, but the real reason the United States cannot afford it is because we spend that money on military spending. The same military spending that protects all the European countries that don't spend their tax dollars on their military because, hey, the good ol' US of A will come to our rescue and do all our fighting for us.
Rights to bear arms and defend one's self and those who are unable to defend themselves? You mean the universal natural right to defend your life? After all, if only the military (citizen soldiers) and the police (citizen public servants) have access to firearms it will 100% assure that citizens will never be harmed by a firearm...with the exception to places like Nazi Germany, North Korea, Communist Cuba, etc.
Infamously racist police force? You mean the reason the players of the Notorious Felon League are protesting during the national anthem? You didn't know? The reason this they are protesting is because the are pushing the infamously false narrative that police officers in the United States are killing unarmed black men in the streets "just because". The "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" narrative that was found to be the biggest lie perpetuated in the United States during and proceeding its inception. Don't ever let facts supersede feelings!
You see, the protest is pushing for social justice change. We are all just victims and no one is responsible for their own actions. That's why these NFL players don't want criminals sitting in jail awaiting their trial. They certainly don't want criminals who just flat out won't be held accountable having forced used against them by the police when they resist arrest.
Here's the biggest issue of all (not that any of this really matters) - Why would we want out national anthem played at the beginning of a sporting event? Imagine if you were sitting in a movie theater waiting for the movie to start and, when it does, being asked to stand for the singing of the national anthem. This practice should be reserved for events that actually having meaning and deserve the pomp and circumstance that deserve it.
So, here is a solution - Stop. Just stop treating something that deserves honor being done at events that do not. Then lets move forward.
The last great thing our species accomplished was done on July 20th, 1969. 48 years ago! 48 years ago a man walked on the moon.
No matter how many statutes we take down or how many knees we take on the field where men get paid millions to play a children's game, none of it matters more than moving ahead as a species.
