And in fact, the current multiracial experiment of the US has never been done before in history, and certainly not successfully. Historically the rare incidents of racial diversification always resulted in collapse.
The alt right is not really suggesting any 'new' idea that was never tried before while our opponents just want the US to continue being what made it 'great'. It is actually the alt right which would like to stick to old ways and our opponents are engaged in a wild utopian vision that no American politician would have dreamed of prior to world war II.

And speaking of the former... Guess who just got to be a permanent resident in that melting pot of awesome? :D 2,5 years till my citizenship test and I cannot wait to get there. So as we`ve seen the govenrment`s refugee board decided that polish fascists did not in fact have any right to deny my my basic rights to identity, safety and freedom. Good ruling for all the abused polish transfolk I say.
Also, good to you know, have a permanent place in the most awesome country in the world(according to a stoner like me at least).
Another American who isn't aware there's a big bright world outside of the United States... So just because THEY haven't tried something, that doesn't automatically make it a failure.
@Skide Good for you. Canada is awesome... Though being on the border, I'm worried Trump might decide it needs his... "personal" touch...
@DarkPhoenix
Thank you!
And as for Trumpoo, he already tried with his trade war and attempting to strongarm us into adopting his insane immigration policies and giving up our dairy farmers, whom we tend to protect. No could do and so far we are still thriving on good old Canadian patriotism and buying the sometimes more expensive, home grown and made stuff but it`s Trump`s cronies who are getting increasingly panicked over their loss of profit.
@Skide
OT, wow, so this asshole is saying that the only ideas that should ever be given consideration are the ones we've used before, even if we stopped implementing them for VERY good reasons and have since come up with far superior ideas?
How the hell is this entity on the fugging internet when he's clearly living in a fugging cave?
@DarkPhoenix
As things are, he literally wouldn`t dare or he`d have the whole US command desert him and probably actually arrest him on the spot. Also as compact as our military might be, we still have nukes(british) which alone is a deterrent for his grubby fingers to keep off. Mostly it`s just that such a concept would be too hard for the US society to swallow without actual riots and rebelions.
They really do not have any concept of the world at all... do they?
@ Skide
Don't kid yourself, he'd absolutely dare. Consequence for his own actions, even as an abstract concept, are completely alien to the Tangerine Caligula. Thus far despite clearly not playing with a full deck White House staff is content to let him play fifty-two pickup with the delicate balance of global power while simultaneously playing Russian Roulette with an automatic and peeing on the carpet. What is in doubt is just how many of the people remaining at the White House when the idea does pop into his head will be deliriously drunk on his hype train or outright trying to sabotage democracy.
The age of reason is dead. We're all just waiting to see what happens now. Logic would dictate Trump's presidency ends in disgrace if not in front of a firing squad, but logic hasn't applied to anything lately.
"And in fact, the current multiracial experiment of the US has never been done before in history, and certainly not successfully. Historically the rare incidents of racial diversification always resulted in collapse. "
That's the problem with making such wild statements without having anything to back them up: Your first sentence directly contradicts the second (First sentence: multiracial experiments never happened. Second: They always resulted in collapse.) And of course there is the fact that human races still don't exist, making your entire point moot.
@Kuyohashi
Actually, this is a very ur-fascist idea he is bringing forth here (whether he knows it or not, but very much intentionally), that all knowledge can only be found in the past, that new ideas are evil and "disrupting" ancient knowledge that is sacrosanct. It plays into their general hatred for intellectualism and criticism (against themselves) and their love for traditionalism and tribalism.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
