Because every parent knows the best way to make your kids love you is to tell them they have to love you.
“You’re going to eat that broccoli on your plate and love it.” That approach always works.

"Loving America" = eliminating teaching any of the bad parts of American history, no teaching of critical thinking skills, and basically going back to the rah-rah Americuh Fuck Yeah! history textbooks that kids learned from for much of the early-to-mid twentieth century. I can't wait to go back to the whitewashing of Christopher Columbus, Robert E. Lee & other Confederate "heroes", the Business Tycoons of the Gilded Age, treatment of Native Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, and on and on.
I thought was that POS Speaker of the House. Of course, knowing that sick bunch of fucks, it could be any of them.
“Punching down on others, especially brown and dark-skinned people with strange names and accents, will help you.”
That will appeal to MAGAts and their children.
MAGA and Trumplican kids won’t be expected to eat broccoli or treat others with kindness or respect.
Being cruel is a feature of MAGAtry, not a bug.

Thailand and Cambodia agree to ceasefire after deadly border clashes
Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to “an immediate and unconditional ceasefire” starting at midnight, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.“…
Long-simmering tensions between Cambodia and Thailand escalated into open conflict last week as the countries exchanged heavy fire across a dozen locations on their disputed border, causing the deaths of civilians and prompting the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents. The neighbors, which both amassed troops at their border regions, blamed each other for instigating the violence and said they acted in self-defense.
China and the United States have intervened to try to facilitate a temporary ceasefire. President Donald Trump said Sunday that he spoke with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand and said they wanted to settle.…”

“… Nobody’s ever done what we’ve done. We have six different major look at, if you take a look at uh Rwanda and the Congo Republic of the Congo, they’ve been fighting for 31 years, 8 million people dead, it was going on, nobody could go to that part of Africa, they were being killed if to even walk there they were being killed with machetes. And it was a violent situation and I was able toooo they like Trump. They wanted to make a trade deal with Trump. They wanted us to take their rare earth, they want to give us their rare earth.
And I got to know the leader of the Congo, I got to know both of them indirectly and I call them and I said let’s end the war. I don’t want anything until you end the war and we ended the war, as you know the foreign ministers came up two weeks ago … and that’s another one that we did.
So we’ve done a lot, it’s an honor to do it, it’s not hard for me to do it and I use not in all cases but I use a combination of knowing them a little bit or in some cases knowing them a lot you know I knew the leaders of Pakistan and India I know them very well and you know they’re in the midst of a trade deal and yet they’re talking about nuclear weapons I say this is crazy so I said I’m not doing a trade deal with you guys and they wanted the trade deal they need it I’m not doing a trade deal with you if you’re going to have war and that’s the war that spreads to other countries you’ll get nuclear dust, we’ll all get nuclear dust when they start using nuclear weapons that stuff blows all over the place and really bad things happen and so maybe we’re being a little selfish when we want to save wars too but we uh we stopped a lot of wars.”
