All. I cannot take it. I'm going to run for president, and I need your support! A random internet stranger is surely better than either major party, amiright?

    Can't solely get mad at Trump about this. The US set the precedent of lieing to, cheating, and murdering the natives since its inception. Dont act outraged when the country as a whole has never done right by them
